Bugs Aplenty

The Overworld can feel a bit empty at times. Where the Oceans, Caves, and Netherworld are brimming with living things and creepy ambience, the Overworld is often strangely silent and lifeless. This mod aims to offer an adorable solution for visual and auditory ambience, as well as some other interesting, insect-related systems. To be clear, the mod is about literal bugs. Any technical bugs are purely for comedic effect, and definitely not my fault.

This mod adds the following:

• Loads and Loads of Beetles, small, harmless little critters with loads of different varieties unique to different depths and biomes. Each type of beetle lends unique ambient noises to its respective location, and can be captured via a net and bottles to create a Beetle Bottles- musical instruments, each with a full octave of notes. Each type of beetle produces a unique sound, and some are quite rare, providing a unique collectable in addition to adding a little bit of life to otherwise silent areas.
• Dragonflies, another ambient mob unique to swamps, mangroves, and jungles. They're hard to catch, but their wings can be used to make a new Potion of Levitation. Not the most useful for oneself, but a great deterrent for your enemies...
• Butterflies! They do literally nothing, but they're very pretty.
• Termites, an insect whose mounds can be found in savannas and badlands. They seek out nearby wooden materials, harvest them, and then store them in their nests. Termites can be used to obtain different shades of Cobbled Terracotta, (a nifty new building block), and more technical players can use them to create less explosive means of farming wood.

...And that's about it. There's a more extensive changelog on Curseforge if you're interested. ...Otherwise, happy bug hunting!

This mod Requires Geckolib to Work, because all the insects have cool animations and stuff. You can find Geckolib here; be sure to download the correct version. (1.19.2 or 1.19.3, at the time of writing.)
