Wild Firefly

by firemuffin303

Wild Firefly adds fireflies to Minecraft that players capture in bottles, release into the world, and use to make colored firefly lanterns.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19 – 1.19.2

What it does

Fireflies spawn in swamp and mangrove swamp biomes. A player can catch them with a glass bottle, then release them again from the bottle. Named with a nametag set to jeb_, a firefly takes on a rainbow color. A captured firefly can be placed in an unlit lantern to produce a colored firefly lantern, which gives off light at level 8, and a rainbow firefly lantern gives off light at level 12.

Frogs eat the fireflies, and feeding a frog a bottle of firefly gives the player poison, 5 damage and some experience. The mod also adds a soul lantern recipe and a soul torch. It needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric, and it is open source under the MIT License. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.1 for 1.19.2, released 2022-10-08, and builds cover 1.19 – 1.19.2 across three release versions.
