#minecraft firefly

They did it.... They added cow 2 to Minecraft...

Fire bovines and ice bovines make their way into Minecraft!! But we also got new plants, desert ambient sounds, and also FIREFLIES?????

Unfortunately, this drop is starting to be peak...., Too damn good...

MINECRAFT FIREFLY MENTIONED ‼️

[stuff-from-the-void-matron]

I love how Minecraft bees are just THAT damn huge, like canonically to the game world.

Fucking LOOK at them. They’re about as big as a player’s head! And it’s not all insects that are huge cuz the fireflies they’re adding to Minecraft are normal sized. See?

They’re literally TWO pixels big! 😂 Yet bees are.... fucking enormous by comparison!!! Love that for them.

I made some fireflies/lightning-bugs in Blockbench :3

Here's the scale!

And here’s the model (zoomed in really far, just so Tumblr will actually display the image)

I also thought it'd be fun to give them color variations

(disclaimer, I have 0 modding capabilities, so all this next stuff is just ideas floating around in my head)

Spawning conditions:

Yellow ones spawn in Plains, Sunflower Plains, Oak Forests, Flower Forests, and Birch Forests.

Green ones spawn in Swamps, Mangrove Swamps, and Lush Caves.

Blue ones spawn in Taigas, Mega Taigas, and Meadows.

Purple ones spawn in the End within 5 blocks of a Chorus Plant.

White ones are made if one (of any color) is struck by lightning (Hehe pun).

All (excluding purple ones) spawn below a light level of 5, or at any light level below Y 64.

Extra stuff:

They are immune to fire damage (hehe pun)

they glow (duh)

their sound effects are little chimes similar to the Allays and Amethyst Blocks.

You can breed them with Slime Balls, Magma Cream, Honey Bottles, Chorus Fruit, and Sugar.

They lay their eggs on Grass Blocks, Moss or Endstone.

1-3 spawn from an Egg Cluster

you can carry them in bottles like you can carry fish in buckets

you can replace torches in the lantern crafting recipe with bottled fireflies to make lanterns with their corresponding color (Yellow = Lantern, Blue = Soulfire Lantern, Green = Green Lantern, you get it)

Naming them "jeb_" makes them change color like sheep!

Fallen Trees in Minecraft!

We got some nice bit of parity changes in this snapshot

Fallen trees make their way to Minecraft, being covered in mushrooms and vines too! They come as fallen spruce, oak, birch, and jungle trees!

It really is like a birch forest update....

It's just so pretty man. And it synergizes super well with the leaf litter on the forest floors!

It's also super nice seeing them in the already amazing old growth taigas where they add even more flavor to these wonderful biomes!

We also finally got firefly bushes in the mangrove swamps! They're not too common, but it's always good to see them when they pop up.

every time i see someone claim that fireflies were scrapped because they're poisonous to frogs, i frown a lil inside like, that was just the nail in the coffin on something that they just did not have time for in 1.19. 1.19 was fairly crunched and meant to be small scope they just showcased too many of their plans :P the firefly like... it wasnt known whether it should be a particle or a big mob like the bee. the particle is more ambient, and even assuming they had decided on it being a 2 pixel particle... well, is it a mob? is it a particle? how do you implement masses of particles on both editions without lag? sporeblossoms only produce particles when you're close to 'em! And I imagine mojang just wasnt happy with the state of them. with them being 2 pixels. they have a (sometimes to their detriment) high quality standard. but they clearly didnt have any concepts for what it would be like as an actual proper bee-sized mob done. and thats just... too much for what was a catch up update with a little cherry on top (mangroves) 1.19 wasnt perfect, but they had just come off one of the most stressful updates and were delivering the most like, intricate system a single biome will probably ever have (sculk) Whether you think thats good or not, thats for you to decide, but like. too many people call mojang lazy, i think the real fault is they try so so hard for such high quality and overwork themselves because of it, while outsiders see a "lack of new things" despite "big company" anyways, dont blame the frogs. if they had a clear idea of how to do fireflies, we wouldve had them despite them being poisonous.

[playername-player-of-games]

imagine you could catch fireflies

but they don’t add a net to the game, you just have to spam the air with a bottle and hope a firefly crosses your path
