Mothlight 0.4.0 for 1.21.11
Curse Maven Snippet
What's new
16 new moths, 48 in all. They fill the corners of the world that had few or none:
- Jungle and bamboo: Madagascan Sunset Moth (a rainbow day flier), Oleander Hawk-moth, and the White Witch, now the widest moth in the game.
- Hills and cold: Emperor Moth on the windswept hills, Spanish Moon Moth in the old pine forests, Arctic Woolly Bear Moth on the ice spikes and frozen peaks.
- Woods and rivers: Giant Leopard Moth, Red Underwing, Scarlet Tiger, and the Magpie Moth in the cherry groves.
- Dry country: African Moon Moth in the savanna, Black Witch under the badlands overhangs and in dripstone caves, Hornet Moth in the sunflower plains.
- Other dimensions: Crimson Speckled in the crimson forest, the glowing Echo Moth in the Deep Dark, and the Voidwing on the outer End islands.
Every one has its own jar, scales, caterpillar, breeding food and journal page. The Lepidopterist advancement now needs all 48.
Moths with tricks.
- The Echo Moth hears you. Walk or run near it and it bolts; sneak up and you can net it.
- The Voidwing blinks away from a net swung at it in flight. Wait until it rests.
- The Red Underwing sits grey and hidden on bark, then flashes its red hindwings and darts off when you get close.
The Moth Hood and Moth Shawl. Two things to wear, woven from Moth Silk.
- The shawl hangs like a ragged poncho, and opens into wings whenever you are in the air. It glides like an elytra.
- The hood has feathered antennae and two big eyes on the brow. Press G and the eyes slide down over yours as goggles. With them down you get moth vision: moths and caterpillars within 40 blocks are outlined in their own colours.
- Weave a moth into them: put the hood or shawl in a crafting grid with four wing scales of one species, and it takes on that moth's wings, antennae and colours. Twelve moths can be woven so far (Luna, Atlas, Death's-head, Rosy Maple, Io, Comet, Cecropia, Red Underwing, Madagascan Sunset, Emperor, Echo Moth, Voidwing), with more to come.
- The Mothman look can't be woven. Use the hood or shawl on a Vesper you have tamed and it lends them its own wings: charcoal, crimson collar, and eyespots that glow in the dark.
- They are for looks and gliding only, not armour. Server owners can turn moth vision off (
mothVision).
The wild comes alive. Wild moths now sometimes lay eggs where they rest. The eggs hatch into wild caterpillars that grow, spin a cocoon and emerge as moths, all by themselves. Find a caterpillar in the woods and you can scoop it into a Rearing Jar to raise it, or feed it glow berries to keep it around. They eat nothing and damage nothing. Server owners can turn this off with wildLifeCycle.
New brews from wing scales. Awkward potion plus Voidwing scales makes Slow Falling, Black Witch scales make Luck, and Echo Moth scales make Invisibility.
Journal rewards. New rewards at 32 and 40 species. The Moonlit Phial now comes at 48. If you already finished the old journal you keep your phial, and you earn a second one at 48.
Great Lumens are sturdier. A fully grown Great Lumen now has 20 health, not 8, so a couple of arrows no longer drop you out of the sky.
Fixes.
- Breaking a bred egg or cocoon keeps its variant, pattern and glow. It used to turn back into a plain one.
- Wild eggs and cocoons no longer vanish at one stray click.
- A Moth Sheet can no longer be duplicated, and an explosion or piston no longer leaves half a sheet standing.
- Lumens lay their eggs on the ground below them, not in mid-air.
- Telling a flying Lumen to sit now works: it lands and stays.
- Mounting a Great Lumen no longer also uses the item in your hand.
- Armour follows your arms while you hang from a gliding Lumen.
- Glow berries are no longer eaten by a Lumen too young to breed.
- An emptied Moth Jar loses its moth's name and stacks again. A Rearing Jar you break with a caterpillar inside shows what's in it.
- A jarred moth starts shedding scales as soon as the jar is placed.
- Moths rest on top of flowers, not in the air above them.
- Shadows of resting and flying wild moths are correct.
- Bats no longer eat name-tagged or hand-reared moths.
- A startled moth no longer flees through the block it was resting on.
- "Mothback" needs a saddle, and "Living Lantern" needs a moth in the jar.
- Grabbing on under a low ceiling tells you there's no room.
Updating a server. Swap the jar and restart; the existing world needs nothing else. The new moths start appearing in their biomes straight away, including in places you explored long ago, and everything you already caught, bred or tamed carries over. Update the server and every player together: the versions have to match. Don't go back to 0.3.0 afterwards, because the old version doesn't know the new moths.
Install it on the client and on the server.
