A small update this week about yet another bug fix. This time there was an issue with the 1.20.1 version not synchronising its butterfly data properly. These kinds of problems will crop up from time to time when porting the mod over different versions of the game.

Rendering Debug Information
The landing animations are still a bit unreliable. All too often when testing Bok’s Banging Butterflies I still see landed butterflies flapping their wings.
Bits and Bobs. And Sherds
This week I worked on a lot of small tasks. Some new features, a bugfix or two, some minor tweaks, and butterfly sherds. It’s nice to work on small things sometimes. It feels like you’ve achieved a lot more than usual.
Bugs, Habitats, and Refactors
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.
Upgrading Butterflies to NeoForge
Changes are on the horizon for the Minecraft Modding community. While I don’t fully understand all the drama, Forge may be on its way out, making NeoForge the new way of making mods. In order to prepare for this new world, I’ve decided to create a 1.20.
Syncing the Butterfly Data
After releasing version 3.0.0 of the mod, I got a bug report in very quickly. Butterflies were no longer spawning in server games. I hadn’t really been testing servers up to that point, but as it turns out that didn’t mean people weren’t using the mod on servers.
