What's new

Moth Journal rewards. Filling in the journal now pays off. At 8 species you get a Moth Sheet and 4 Moth Jars. At 16 you get 2 Rearing Jars and 8 Moth Silk. At 24 you get 3 Lantern Nectar and a Silk Saddle. Record every species and you get the Moonlit Phial: use it on your Lumen to turn its glow a silver-white that never appears in the wild, and its young can inherit it. The journal has a new Rewards page, and if you'd already passed a milestone, you get that reward the next time you log in.

Better gliding. Hanging under an unsaddled Great Lumen gets three new tricks:

  • Heat updrafts: glide over a lit campfire, fire, magma or lava and the warm air carries you up, to about 14 blocks above it. Line up campfires to build climbing routes. Modpacks can add heat blocks to the mothlight:glide_updraft block tag.
  • Night lift: you sink slower at night, so glides go farther after dark.
  • Drop faster: hold Left Alt to sink quickly without letting go. You can change the key in Controls.

Wild Lumens really spawn now. At night, in forests, cherry groves, lush caves and the Deep Dark, a wild Lumen sometimes turns up near you. Untamed wild ones wander off again if you leave them. Server owners can turn this off or change how often it happens (wildLumens, wildLumenChance).

Life cycle timing. Eggs, cocoons, caterpillars, rearing jars and growing Lumens now run at their intended pace: an egg takes about one in-game day to hatch, not 2 minutes. Server owners who want the fast testing pace back can set timings = "DEV" in config/mothlight-server.toml.

Fixes. The catch message now says "Caught the Atlas Moth!".

Install it on the client and on the server.
