Insectopia
by Collafranca
Insectopia brings bees, butterflies, ants, worms and mushrooms into NeoForge worlds, with apiaries and breeding for managing bees.
What it does
Players who want more creatures and farming options find Insectopia adds insects, flora and machines to the game. Bees can be bred and kept in hives, and butterflies, ants and worms fill the world with small details. Silk can be harvested for new crafting items, and worms help enrich soil for crops.
Insectopia runs on the server, so players join without installing it. Files are published for NeoForge only, across ten release versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, with 1.4 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Composting worms
Worms enrich the soil around crops, offering a slow, steady way to improve farmland.
