Bok’s Butterflies

This mod adds butterflies with a full life cycle to the world of Minecraft. Butterflies can be caught or released using a butterfly net. Once caught, they can be bottled and placed in the world as decorative objects.

Butterflies will lay eggs in leaves if they get close to them, and if a player collects these eggs they can plant them in other leaf blocks. The eggs will eventually hatch into caterpillars. After living on the leaves for a short time, a caterpillar will eventually build a chrysalis. These will then hatch into new butterflies within the world.

This mod features 16 butterfly species, mostly based on real-life butterflies but a couple of them are purely fantasy butterflies. If you want to breed the butterflies in this mod, then be sure to keep your cats away from them!
