Night's Light adds realistic, working fireflies to Minecraft. Made for Forge (1.20.1 and below) and NeoForge (1.20.4 and onwards - coming soon).

Thank you! For now over 10 k downloads. 

Next milestone: 50 k downloads

!!!NEWS!!!

Version 1.20.4 and upwards will all be for NeoForge. 1.20.4 will come out when Citadel(not out yet) and JEI(out) is ported to 1.20.4 NeoForge

There will probably be no Version 1.20.2 or 1.20.3, because neither Citadel nor JEI support these Versions for NeoForge

Support for 1.19.4 is now finally out! But that's not all: also support for 1.20 and 1.20.1 is now out too.

Features

• fireflies avoid water
• they emit light
• random flickering system
• only emit light at daytime
• spawn egg of fireflies integrated
• configurable spawn biomes, weight and min - max group count
• animated firefly lanterns with multiple levels
• firefly in glass
• colored firefly lanterns

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

if you have EVER USED the MOD in a LOWER VERSION before, you HAVE TO DELET the 'firefly_spawns.json' MANUALY, start minecraft with the mod again and than the file will recreate itself, otherwise the fireflies will not spawn!!!

Planned

Currently there is no more feature planned, but feel free to write suggestions in the issue tab on github or in the curseforge comments

I will continue to port the mod to the latest version

Note
