The days following a mod release are always hectic, and this past week was no exception. As much as I’d love to kick back and enjoy the positive feedback, there are always bugs to fix, and this release had its fair share.
Data
Adding the Peacock Butterfly
I plan to add more butterflies in the future, so I wanted to gauge how much work that would be. This can also serve as a step-by-step to adding new butterfly species to the mod. So I’m adding a 17th variant: the Peacock Butterfly.
Data Driving the Butterflies
Finally! Butterfly data can now be loaded or modified via a JSON file. Now if we decide to change how butterflies work we don’t need to change any code. Even a data pack could be used to change butterfly behaviour.
