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.
