Longwings
by CicadaBluw
With Longwings, Butterflies and Moths appear across the overworld, 70 variants in all, each with its own rarity, size and habitat.
What it does
Longwings introduces Butterflies and Moths to the overworld, along with extra blocks and items for keeping them. Each of the 70 variants is modeled on a real-life species, and which ones appear depends on the biome they spawn in. Most Butterfly traits, such as rarity, size and habitat, also apply to the Moths. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Both client and server need the mod, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20 – 1.21.1.
