Mermaids Premium
Mermaids Premium is a separate, optional paid addon jar that sits on top of the base Mermaids and Mythical Creatures mod, adding extra cosmetic and progression content for supporters. It requires the base Mermaids mod to be installed, and unlocks additional integration if the Endless Leveling mod is also present.
Premium 1.2.0 requires Mermaids 3.2.0 or newer. It relies on the color registration and permission features added in that release, so update the base mod first.
To unlock Mermaids Premium, you can support the mod on Patreon at any tier. Once you have a valid Patreon account, you can download the Mermaids Premium jar from any of the latest posts on my Patreon page and place it in your mods folder alongside the base Mermaids mod.
What it adds
- 215 additional Mermaid tail colors, on top of the base mod’s 8, shown right inside the normal Mermaid menu.
- Full Endless Leveling race trees for the Mermaid, Werewolf, and Vampire, each with their own custom passives.
- Deeper hooks into Endless Leveling’s ascension/prestige system, so your Mythical Creature choice actually feeds into your character build.
Custom Mermaid Tail Colors
The base Mermaids mod ships with 8 tail colors. Mermaids Premium adds 215 more, for 223 in total, drawn from all thirteen of the game’s own gradient sets:
| Color Family: | Count: |
|---|---|
| Skin | 47 |
| Hair | 30 |
| Eyes | 18 |
| Faded Leather | 17 |
| Colored Cotton | 15 |
| Pastel Cotton | 15 |
| Flashy Synthetic | 15 |
| Shiny Fabric | 14 |
| Fantasy Cotton | 13 |
| Fantasy Cotton Dark | 12 |
| Jean | 10 |
| Ornamented Metal | 6 |
| Rotten Fabric | 3 |
Every one is the same tail texture recolored by a gradient, which is how this many variants exist without this many pieces of artwork.
Changed in Premium 1.2.0: Premium used to open its own separate customization page, because there was no way for an add-on to add a color to the base mod’s menu. Mermaids 3.2.0 added that ability, so the duplicate page is gone – Premium’s colors now appear in the normal Mermaid menu, sorted into one captioned section per family. There is one mermaid menu for everyone now, whether or not Premium is installed.
Your existing tail color is unaffected; this changes where colors are chosen, not what you are wearing.
If the server has Tail Color Permissions switched on, Premium’s colors use nodes derived from their own ids, such as mermaids.color.shinyfabric.red. A whole family can be granted with mermaids.color.shinyfabric.*. That setting is off by default, so Premium colors are available to every player unless a server owner deliberately gates them.
Endless Leveling Integration
If the Endless Leveling mod is installed alongside Mermaids Premium, each Mythical Creature becomes a full race line inside Endless Leveling’s ascension system, complete with its own base form, multiple ascension paths, and a final ultimate form. Progressing through a race’s ascension tree is handled entirely by Endless Leveling (prestige, required skill levels, augments, etc.) – Mermaids Premium simply provides the races and their passives.
Every race in every line also carries an Innate Attribute Gain, a small automatic boost to one of the character’s base stats (such as Life Force) simply for being that race.
Custom Passives
Mermaids Premium introduces three brand new passive types into Endless Leveling, built specifically for the Mythical Creatures system. These are shared across whichever races make use of them, rather than being one-off effects:
Fixed in Premium 1.2.0: these three passives previously displayed under the wrong name in the Endless Leveling race menu, because Endless Leveling’s passive list is a fixed set that add-ons cannot extend. All 21 races now carry a proper display name, so Tidal Affinity, Mermaid Aura and Moonlight read correctly in the menu.
- Tidal Affinity – A Mermaid-only passive that ties combat strength to being in the water. It grants a bonus while the player is transformed into a Mermaid, and applies a small penalty while the player is untransformed on land, encouraging Mermaids to fight from the water rather than the shore.
- Mermaid Aura – A supportive passive unique to the Mermaid line. While transformed, the Mermaid passively radiates an aura around themselves out to a set radius, restoring a portion of mana and stamina to anyone standing nearby – turning a Mermaid into a bit of a support unit for their group.
- Moonlight – Shared by both the Werewolf and Vampire lines, since both are creatures of the night. Grants a bonus to damage and haste, rewarding these races for fighting after dark rather than during the day. These three passives are configured per-race from the race’s passive list, so different races along the same line can tune the strength of Tidal Affinity, Mermaid Aura, or Moonlight differently – a higher tier race isn’t guaranteed a stronger version of the passive unless its race definition says so.
