The nautilus mob is currently categorized under the "monster" population control in its spawn rules, which is inconsistent with its classification as an aquatic creature category (similar to dolphins and squids) and its behavior in Java Edition. This incorrect categorization negatively impacts aquatic mob spawning rates, while aquatic mobs ("water_animal" category) have separate spawning mechanics and limits.
How to Reproduce:
1. Locate or create an ocean biome area in Bedrock Edition.
2. Observe the nautilus spawning behavior and rates, particularly in relation to other aquatic life and hostile mobs.
Observed Result:
- Nautilus entities contribute to and are limited by the "monster" mob cap.
- Spawning patterns align with monster spawning conditions rather than aquatic passive mobs.
Expected Result:
- Nautilus should use the "water_animal" population control category.
- Spawning should be consistent with other aquatic mobs like tropical fish and dolphins, not hostile mobs.
- This change would align Bedrock Edition behavior with Java Edition and improve overall aquatic mob balance.
