What it does

Right-clicking a firefly bush while holding an empty glass bottle collects a firefly bottle, and right-clicking a bush while holding a firefly bottle turns it back into a firefly bush. Four firefly bottles can be crafted into glowstone. The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API; both the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.21.5 – 26.3, and the latest file is 0.1.2 for 26.3, released under the MIT License as open source.
