Description

In the real world, fireflies are not active or visible during the day. However, the firefly bushes released in Minecraft in 1.21.5 flash all night and all day. This makes them a bit difficult to use in areas that you mostly visit during the day or in large groups (see this video by BdoubleO100 on the topic).

This Fabric 1.21.10+ mod mitigates this daytime problem with firefly bushes by adding time-based control to their animation. Fireflies flash at night, but not during the day.

Features

  • Configure the time window where firefly bushes animate (default: night)
  • Configure the sprite/animation frame that the firefly bush freezes on when not animating

Dependencies

Configuration

  • enableTimeBasedControl (default: true) - Enable/disable time-based animation control
  • animationStartTime (default: 12000) - Minecraft time when animations start (0-24000)
  • animationEndTime (default: 23000) - Minecraft time when animations end (0-24000)
  • frozenFrame (default: 0) - Frame to display when not animating (0-1000)

These field are editable with ModMenu, or by editing .minecraft/config/better-firefly-bushes.properties.

Known Bugs

  • #8 As of 1.21.11, the frozenFrame setting is not respected due to a breaking API change.
