Insects: Recrafted
by fapdos
Insects: Recrafted adds several insects to the world, including flies, moths, snails and a few other species, each with its own behavior and drops.
What it does
Insects spawn in specific biomes: flies and similar species appear in grass and meadow areas, while others turn up near swamps, rivers and beaches, and some glow in the dark wherever it is dark. Several insects are shy and flee when a player comes close, and others fly around aimlessly the way bats do. Some can be hurt and will attack back, and a hit can set an attacker on fire for two seconds, although the insects themselves are immune to fire damage.
The mod changes how the insects fit into the existing game. Maggots grow into flies when fed rotten flesh, a feeding Silk Worm becomes a moth, and a zombie that dies can drop insects. Snails carry a shell, and the shell is used in brewing resistance potions, while the snail's slime ball is also a drop. The mod is a full remake of an older insects mod, rebuilt from the ground up.
Installation is required on both sides, since the environment is client and server. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 1.21.4, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

What the author says
This mod aims to add several different insects into Minecraft! This is the official remake of an older mod simply called ''Insects'', but that mod was so bad and needed so much to get done, that we decided to do a full on remake and start the mod from the ground up again! The insects this mod adds are generally just…
