📋 About This Mod
## Overview This mod includes features meant to mildly enhance player immersion through mod intercompatibility, through the lens of the humble Alex's Mobs fly. Most features are configurable, and all are set to true by default. ## Config ### Spawning (Overworld-exclusive) - Flies rarely spawn from dirty chimpanzees. The chance per tick is configurable. Requires (https://modrinth.com/mod/neapolitan). - Flies also rarely spawn around organic compost. This chance increases in humid biomes (`#forge:is_wet_overworld`). Requires (https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight). There is also an option for guano blocks from (https://modrinth.com/mod/alexs-caves). ### Bottling - Flies can be bottled when (https://modrinth.com/mod/buzzier-bees) is installed. Dispenser functionality is also included. ### Eating Goal - Flies now occasionally "eat" from food blocks. They may also ambiently hang around food for a bit. - Flies have a small chance to enter love mode if they eat from a block for long enough. - Flies disperse from a food block if a player comes too close. ### Flytraps - Flies are tempted by the top half of flytraps from Alex's Caves. They may clamp shut, killing the fly. - There is also a client-side option for flytraps to make a small "snap" sound when shutting, similar to evoker fangs. ### Block Tags - `fly_high:fly_food` - Adds blocks upon which flies would love to get their grubby little appendages. This includes cakes, jam blocks, rotten flesh blocks, meat blocks, etc. - It also includes the tag `farmersdelight:mineable/knives` in order to automatically be compatible with mods that add their own feasts. - `fly_high:fly_food_blacklist` - Serves as a means of countering blocks that are lumped into `fly_food` by accident, most likely because they were included in `farmersdelight:mineable/knives`. Includes carpets, cobwebs, etc. Add a block to this tag if you don't want flies to munch away. - `fly_high:fly_paper` - Includes blocks that attract flies but wouldn't actually serve as food. Includes cobwebs and flytraps from Alex's Caves by default. --- **Requires (https://modrinth.com/mod/citadel) and (https://modrinth.com/mod/alexs-mobs).** Includes many other optional dependencies. This mod is dedicated to all of the insects that have unceremoniously declared ownership of my current bedroom through the very tall, very screen-less, and very open window. I'd also like to thank the (https://modrinth.com/mod/naturalist) codebase for being MIT-licensed, so I could use ButterflyPollinateGoal as a base for FlyMunchGoal.
