It is worth noting that 1\/3 of every shark species around the world is either endangered or flagged under protection. Sharks are a beautiful part of their respective ecosystems and must therefore be preserved.**<\/p>\n<p>**As of\u00a0version 1.2.0, the &#8220;Shark Fin&#8221;\u00a0item has been completely removed, essentially eliminating any form of Shark Hunting through the use of this mod.**<\/p>\n<p>**As of version 1.2.5, the &#8220;Shark Fin&#8221; item was re-added, but in the hands of the evil Illagers.**<\/p>\n<p>**Don&#8217;t try and kill any sharks to get this item as they don&#8217;t drop it. It can only be obtained by looting Pillager Outposts and Woodland Mansions.**<\/p>\n<p>This mod is a solo project solely done by me, so expect there to be a lengthy gap between updates.
