#11 - What if Minecraft had Butterflies?
Butterflies would be found all over the world, spawning near double-tall flowers. Wherever these four flowers can generate, thats where Butterflies will be! These adorable passive mobs love coming up to players, fluttering around them. If you hold out a flower, they'll land on it and go into your inventory as an item! At this point, you can either click with them on the side of a block to pin them to a wall for decoration, or click with them in the air to set them free! Butterflies you've released yourself will never despawn, so you can fill your butterfly gardens up!
Butterflies can pollinate off of flowers like Bees, but do not produce honey. Instead, flowers pollinated by bees can spread to nearby grass blocks that a Butterfly flies over while covered in the flower's pollen! Be warned, however, that Butterflies will still be poisoned by wither roses or eyeblossoms, and won't try to pollinate those. You gotta do those yourself!
However, the Butterfly's biggest claim to fame is its variants. You can collect a whopping 66 different types of Butterflies! How, you may ask? Well, by exploring the world, every different biome in the game will have its own unique type of Butterfly spawn around 2-tall flowers. However, not every biome has 2-tall flowers naturally in it - but place one down yourself, and these rare, endangered butterflies will come to investigate in no time!
And yes... I did say "Every Biome"
Notedly, the Flower Forest has 7 unique Butterflies, forming a rainbow pattern. I figured the biome with the most flowers should have the most flower-spreaders! While collecting different butterflies is optional, many of their skins are either real-world butterflies, fun references, easter-eggs, or hints at secrets in the game you might not notice! Plus, since you can pin them to walls for decoration, you can create a managerie of butterflies either on your wall, or outdoors!
