I guess all of us have at some point seen piranhas, whether it be on television or in a Zoo, or maybe even in a jungle. In that case you know how aggressive creatures these are.
Purpose
Replacing drowned in rivers as they make more sense in the ocean in my opinion, and making the jungle a little harder to traverse considering the rewards you get for visiting.
Behaviour
These fish behave almost like a cross between silverfish and fish. Ironic that silverfish aren't actually fish.
HP: 2. Hand damage is 1 and full player health is 20 for those curious. if a piranha is damaged, but not killed, all other piranhas in a 20 block radius will come and try attacking you.
Attack: The piranha will be able to attack you once every second, dealing 1 damage.
Piranhas have a 30% chance of spawning in packs of 5-10, packs/individual piranhas spawn at the same rate as drowns do in rivers.
Packs will have one individual attacking you if you swim through the water, and if you attack back or kill him, his pack will attack you, but other piranhas in proximity won't get notified.
Reward
Piranhas are excellent for XP, and drop 3-5 XP. They also have a 15% chance of dropping a tropical fish.
