What it does

The mod targets the title screen of Minecraft Java Edition, where a set of fireflies drifts across the background. A settings option controls how those fireflies are colored, so the menu can match a player's preference. Only the client needs it, and servers do not run it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.11, with 1.21.11 as the latest NeoForge file.

Key features

  1. Firefly color settings

    A settings screen on the main menu lets the player choose the color of the fireflies.

  2. Main menu only

    The changes apply to the title screen background and do not alter gameplay or the world.

  3. Forge and NeoForge builds

    Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file.
