Butterflies are small, but some butterflies need the sweet nectar of something bigger. The next creature to be added to Bok’s Banging Butterflies isn’t something you would expect, but it will feed those that infect the villagers of the world.

Writing about software development.
A Minor BBB Bugfix Update
Bok’s Banging Butterflies has been updated to version 7.3.1, which includes a couple of small bugfixes for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2. Some of the new movement code hadn’t been ported to these versions correctly. In this new version they are updated properly and butterflies will behave as they do in 1.20.
Pacifying Peacemaker Butterflies
This week’s release adds a method of pacifying Peacemaker Butterflies. They won’t fight for you, but at the least they will leave you alone as you explore the world. Now you can create alien apiaries that are safe for you to walk through.
Destroying Some Ancient Bugs
This week I’ve created a new release that fixes some bugs that have been in the mod for far too long. The movement bug in particular has been annoying for a while, and relied on an extremely hack piece of code attempting to cover it up.
Banging Butterflies Update
It’s not every week I’m able to get a lot of work done on the mod. This week, as well as implementing new features, I’ve been tackling a strange bug with the Peacemaker Butterfly’s movement.
Catching Peacemaker Butterflies
I’m just getting back into the swing of things after Kiwiburn, so I haven’t had much time to spend on developing Bok’s Banging Butterflies. I fixed a few bugs last week, and this week I’ve implemented a small feature to complete the Peacemaker Butterflies.
Fixing the Peacemaker Butterflies
I’m back from Kiwiburn and going straight back to modding. I’ve spent the better part of the day fixing some bugs that were introduced by the recent addition of hostile butterflies that will attempt to infiltrate and take illagers as hosts.
Butterflies with Hostility
This week I’ve added some new Butterflies to the mod based on the fantastic TV Series Peacemaker. These Butterflies are actually alien invaders, infesting Villagers and Illagers in order to take over your Minecraft worlds. Be wary of Villagers behaving in odd ways.
Some New Butterfly Variants
Bok’s Banging Butterflies adds butterflies and moths to Minecraft. This week I’ve experimented with the new variant system to add some flavour to already existing butterflies. I’ve also added a small effect that should allow observant players to spot beneficial mud puddle areas at a glance.
Why Reducing Logspam Matters
Recently, a bug was submitted about Bok’s Banging Butterflies complaining that there was too much logging by the mod. This might seem unimportant at first, but efficient logging is vital to any project. You ignore bad logging at your peril.
