Fly High
by davigj
Fly High gives Alex's Mobs flies a set of ambient behaviors, from hovering around food to snapping shut on flytraps, for players who want more immersion in the insects' surroundings.
What it does
Flies appear around organic compost and in humid biomes, and a dedicated insect spawns rarely in the form of a dirty chimpanzee. The spawn chance per tick is configurable. Flies hang around food, occasionally eat food blocks, and sometimes enter a love mode after eating one for long enough. When a player comes too close, the flies scatter from the food block.
The mod extends interaction with Alex's Caves: flies are drawn to the top half of flytraps, and a guano block option is available there. A client-side option makes a small snap sound when a flytrap shuts, similar to evoker fangs, and the trap clamps shut on a fly. Bottled Buzzier Bees can be installed when that mod is present, and a dispenser function is included.
Fly High requires Alex's Mobs and Citadel, in either the official or the unofficial port, and it requires Neapolitan and Farmer's Delight for the compost and food behavior. Alex's Caves, Buzzier Bees and the other optional dependencies add their own features when installed. The mod runs on client and server and is released under the MIT License, so the source code and issue tracker are public. Files target Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
