The next version of Bok’s Banging Butterflies will introduce villagers that can interact with butterflies. It’s still in the design stages, but I’m starting out by fixing a few bugs and working on what I can until I get my flow back again.
Python
A useful language for writing quick scripts.
Finishing Up the New Moths
I’ve been adding even more moths to the mod ready for the next release. Some of these have custom behaviours and others don’t. I also contemplate adding butterfly breeding, so that players can artificially increase the number of butterflies in their farms.
Moths, Silk, and Startling
This week I add silk to the butterfly mod and finally add my first moth. This moth has its own unique behaviour, something I will start adding to several other butterflies. Along the way I fixed a bug or two, and discovered a couple more that need to be fixed.
Generating Butterfly Advancements
I’m still on a mission to reduce the amount of work needed to add new butterflies to the mod. This week I looked at advancements, with the goal of being able to generate their requirements without having to manually edit each one.
200 Files and Nothing New
This week I merged a change consisting of over 200 files. It’s probably the largest change I’ve made since the project began, and yet it doesn’t actually introduce anything new. Instead, it fixes a mistake I made when I first created the mod.
