Minecraft Butterflies

Six butterflies (monarch, blue morpho, swallowtail, red admiral, cabbage white, peacock) flying from flower to flower.

  • Fluttering flight, gliding, wings opening in the sun, proboscis feeding on flowers.
  • Basks with wings flat, drinks from mud and comes to drink right next to the caiman's eyes.
  • Harmless: they fly away from running players, crows and toucans. The peacock butterfly flashes its eyespots to scare them off.
  • Craft butterfly slippers that soften falls.

In total, 61 animations bring them to life in game. The pack also adds two items, such as “Wing Scales” or “Butterfly Slippers”, with recipes for ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo or MythicCrucible. Everything runs with ModelEngine and MythicMobs on Paper, from 1.21.4 to 26.3.
