I noticed a problem when testing some refactors and new features last week. Buckeye Butterflies would die if they landed on Melons. Obviously this wasn’t intended – the extra landing blocks are meant to be where Butterflies thrive, not where they die.

Refactoring Butterfly Behaviour
I’ve spent much of this week refactoring butterfly behaviour, improving their AI and optimising the Butterfly Data. I’m aiming to have a better foundation before adding new features, and to solve a few of the issues I’ve had when adding new butterflies in the past.
Feeding Orizaba Silkmoths
This week I’ve added the Orizoba Silkmoth, followers of the End’s Ītzpāpālōtl. These moths like cocoa beans and can be used to create silk. In order to get the feeding mechanic to work, I’ve had to refactor some of the Goals I wrote a long time ago.
In The End There Are Butterflies
This week I go back to basics and simply add a new butterfly. And with this release I bring butterflies to a new dimension! Natives to the End, the Ītzpāpālōtl are the rulers of the Orizaba Silkmoths. Seek them out but be wary, for they are not easy to find.
Java References Confuse Me
Being able to program in multiple languages is a useful skill to have, but you have to remember that things don’t always work the way you would expect. I’ve recently come to realise that my Java code has suffered due to a fundamental misunderstanding in how it works.
The Pain of Data Generation
Last week I updated Bok’s Banging Butterflies to use Forge’s native data generation code. At first it all seemed to be going well. But this week I started porting the code to other versions and I’m starting to hit walls.
The Lair of the Peacemakers
In this week’s release you will be able to find Peacemaker Lairs – underground caverns where the Peacemaker butterflies keep their Cows. You can use these Cows and milk them for honey, but you’ll have to fight your way through the Butterflies protecting them first!
I Didn’t Know Minecraft Could Be This Good
I recently came across the YouTuber ItsMarloe and his Chill Minecraft series. I liked how calm his series felt, so I decided to use his modlist to build my own modpack.
An Unbelievably Peaceful Cow
The Peacemaker Cow is now fully implemented and can be spawned in Creative Mode. This mob is the source of the Peacemaker Butterfly’s food, helping to sustain them and their invasion of your Minecraft world.
Milking the Peacemaker Cow
Peacemaker Cows serve as the main food source for the Butterfly invasion of your Minecraft world. They can be “milked” to gather Peacemaker Honey, and this honey can be used by players to pacify the alien invaders.
