What does this mod add?
This mod adds fireflies to the game as they were
intended by mojang! What's that mean?
FEATURES:
- Frogs eat fireflies
- Fireflies spawn at night in swamps and other biomes
- Fireflies emit light (only if lambdynamiclights is installed)
- Fireflies can be caught in bottles!
Additional features
Caught fireflies can be smelted to retrieve their photocyte,
which can be crafted with a glow ink sac to make glow powder.
Glow powder can be brewed into a glow potion!
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with just about anything
I've playtested with Sodium and lambdynamiclights only, however,
most other mods shouldn't pose any problems.
FABRIC API IS REQUIRED!!!
