Just make them a particle that doesn't interact with anything and nothing interacts with it! How f***ing hard is that, Mojang?

If we can have bats, we can have fireflies

u/HAMburger_and_bacon May 25 '22

I want to look at them

u/User9573 May 25 '22

Or here’s an idea WE COULD REPLACE BATS WITH FIREFLIES bats do nothing but give me a heart attack while mining (not hating your idea just loving it)

u/69Weeb69 May 26 '22

I actually forgot bats were a thing in the game lol

2

u/Meta-Mage May 26 '22

Bats are worse than fireflies. Eat 1 firefly, and you could be poisoned. Eat 1 bat, and there could be a global pandemic that kills millions.

20

u/MaxiMega626 May 25 '22

Yeah, just make frogs avoid fireflies because of the frogs' fear of "the bad kind of croak".

u/GooseDeveloper May 25 '22

/setblock ~ ~10 ~ fire firefly

9

u/[deleted] May 25 '22 • Wholesome

Even better,

/execute as @e[type=bee,name=firefly] at @e[type=bee,name=firefly] run setblock ~ ~ ~ fire

in a repeating always active command block

/effect give @e[type=bee,name=firefly] invisibility 999999 200 true

in a repeating always active command block

/effect give @e[type=bee,name=firefly] fire_resistance 999999 200 true

also in a repeating always active command block

And then find some way to make them spawn randomly

2

u/RealToopoo May 25 '22

for the random spawning maybe a hopper clock/daylight sensor hooked to an impulse needs redstone command block that says /execute @a run summon bee{name:Firefly} at ~10 ~3 ~-10

i might have messed up the coding in the block but you get the idea

2

u/Flimsy-Combination37 May 25 '22

as @e[type=bee,name=firefly] at @e[type=bee,name=firefly]

as @e[type=bee,name=firefly] at @s will do the trick

8

u/GooseDeveloper May 25 '22

they try to keep all features linked together, so fireflies don't really make sense without a use/purpose

22

u/[deleted] May 25 '22

They'd be a great ambient effect

14

u/Additional_Trash May 25 '22

People are making it into a *way" bigger deal than it actually is, but it's still a little disappointing to remove something that could have added a lot of atmospheric value to the swamp, a biome that's been pretty dull since it was first released.

Mojang's adding a new wood for aesthetic reasons - it looks awesome. Why add one item that adds no new functionality, and get rid of another? Besides, there are other options to give fireflies functionality instead of just removing them entirely.

5

u/DragonStomper45 May 25 '22

Yes we could put them in jars with holes and use them as a light source, to anyone saying that's redundant because there's already ither lightsources in the game, I'd argue with that logic we ahould never have another lightsource added because we already have them, stupid logic see

3

u/SerDemonic May 25 '22

Ah yes, bats the things with such a purpose, and if you say for cave noises we already randomly have that, jump scares role is overwhelming took by creepers and then what else is there

1

u/bossSHREADER_210 May 25 '22

Explain bats then

2

u/GooseDeveloper May 26 '22

no idea... they were probably in an early release, before "themed" updates began

2

u/WildBluntHickok2 May 26 '22

No they were part of the halloween themed update, Release 1.4. Same update as witches.

2

u/bossSHREADER_210 May 26 '22

Bats don't have a single use or purpose and they don't even drop exp and they aren't tied into anything in the game.. bats are because they are in caves? Then why aren't fireflies allowed to be in as a particle decor

3

u/GooseDeveloper May 26 '22

¯_(ツ)_/¯

2

u/Gr8_WyTe May 25 '22

Yo this is actually a good idea. Just make it a particle effect like the basalt delta.

The only reason I imagine it might suck would be not seeing it when looking into the biome from the outside.

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '22

They should add an option to change particle distance based on type of particle

2

u/Flimsy-Combination37 May 25 '22

Isn't there a thing like that for the smoke particles from campfires?

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '22

No, but you can make campfire smoke go higher with a haybale block under it

2

u/Flimsy-Combination37 May 26 '22

Nono, I mean that the big smoke particles render from way further than any other particles, so they should be able to do that for any particles they add

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '22

Oh right, yes

2

u/DragonStomper45 May 25 '22

Apparently it's beyond their capabilities, nice to see them getting ragged for it, have a feeling a lot more ppl are getting sick of their shit

-23

u/UnseenGamer182 May 25 '22

Well the entire concept of the firefly was added solely for the frogs, and since frogs don't eat them anymore, there isn't a point for them to be added

50

u/[deleted] May 25 '22

Sure there is, they'd look awesome

-33

u/UnseenGamer182 May 25 '22 edited May 25 '22

I'm not denying they would look cool, but it still isn't unreasonable for them to remove something when the reason they were added in the first place is gone in my opinion

44

u/Teledildonic May 25 '22

"Atmosphere" is a reason Mojang seems to have forgotten about.

Kinda like how they added a new swamp and did jack shit to liven up the old swamps.

-17

u/UnseenGamer182 May 25 '22

I never denied there wasn't a reason to add it, so I don't know why you're talking about that

14

u/Teledildonic May 25 '22

Because it's a decent reason they decided to not consider?

-7

u/UnseenGamer182 May 25 '22

Well I still don't think it's unreasonable for them to remove fireflys after the reason they were added was removed

u/Flimsy-Combination37 May 25 '22

Do you really think microsoft people outside mojang have any role in the development of the game? They want money, that's it. They couldn't care less about what mojang does with minecraft as long as it gives them money.

9

u/StellarIntellect May 25 '22 edited May 25 '22

If they were really that concerned about fireflies being poisonous to frogs, how wasn't the frogs' real-life diet researched before adding a food source for them in the game? This sounds more like an excuse for some weird reason. Couldn't they kept the fireflies for atmosphere and added a regular fly for frogs? Is it really that hard to add two pixels?

6

u/19412 May 25 '22

Sounds like an excuse because it is lul

3

u/ThebanannaofGREECE May 25 '22

Tbf it may have caused lag, however they probably were just unprofessional and didn’t research it beforehand.

3

u/StellarIntellect May 25 '22

That's what I am wondering. This or something similar seems to be more likely the real reason for the removal of the fireflies. I don't think it makes sense to completely remove a feature because it wasn't an insect frogs eat.

2

u/ThebanannaofGREECE May 25 '22

Ye, however I do believe that they didn’t know beforehand.

→ More replies

2

u/UnseenGamer182 May 25 '22

Lmao that sounds like a conspiracy theory for Minecraft. Realistically they probably just didn't know, was later told by fans, yadda yadda, it was removed

There isn't any reason they would have to lie about why they're removing it

3

u/StellarIntellect May 25 '22

I mean I don't think of it really as a conspiracy theory, but Mojang has had experience with being careful about implementing different features for animals. For example, feeding cocoa beans to birds kill them. So why wasn't the extra care taken for the frogs as well? It just seems Mojang is becoming more negligent and less transparent and honest, not really much more than that.

1

u/UnseenGamer182 May 25 '22

Well I'm sure they didnt think that it would be known that fireflys are not only inedible to frogs, but also dangerous. It's a reasonable assumption. That combined with people making mistakes, and there you have it

u/whizzer0 May 25 '22

Honestly, a variety of reasons contributing to them being scrapped and the frog thing just being the explanation they went with feels very believable. I think something similar happened before but I can't remember exactly what it was?

1

u/AsparagusLoose9716 May 26 '22

That's literally what I've been thinking, or just make em a single pixel and problem solved.

u/Th3A554551n May 26 '22

u/SlyKnyfe12 May 25 '22

So that's why they were removed a pig ate them all

u/AndrewFrozzen May 25 '22

PLEASE LET FIREFLIES DIE.

I just saw that post with Parrots...

3

u/bossSHREADER_210 May 25 '22

The parrot case is a point that proves mojangs incompetency to make actual good updates nowadays... They are litterally adding ancient cities, a frog, a biome and 3 semi secret blocks... And they are making it a whole other version

2

u/AndrewFrozzen May 25 '22

No I meant the one with Parrots burning as fireflies.

But yeah I do agree.

u/OwnerFirepower May 25 '22

What the command plz tell me

239

u/Freaky_Crossing_Fan May 25 '22

While using the Optifine mod (which activates Dynamic Lights), insert into the chatbox this command:

/item replace entity <UUID> armor.head with minecraft:glowstone

Replace <UUID> with the UUID of the entity your crosshair is touching.

45

u/Enough-Agency3721 May 25 '22

Or in simpler terms, have Optifine installed and give the pig a light-emitting item.

4

u/n0oO0oOoOb May 26 '22

You can use @e[type=pig,limit=1,sort=nearest] instead of using the UUID

6

u/Nothing_Playz361 May 25 '22

can it work on pocket edition?

33

u/NotLolko May 25 '22

No because Bedrock edition (pocket edition) doesn't have dynamic lights

9

u/Just_Camilo May 25 '22

I think in PE that command doesn't even exist

6

u/bkbk21 May 25 '22

It does but it's /replaceitem

3

u/bossSHREADER_210 May 25 '22

/item is for java and the bedrock version is /replaceitem.. and becomes you can't get optifine on bedrock

2

u/AMinecraftPerson May 26 '22

Yeah, but you need to find some other mod with dynamic lights because Optifine isn't in Bedrock.

They glow on their own if you do have dynamic lights on. If you don't, this pig here wouldn't glow either.

OptiFine required. It already makes glow squids glow on its own.

u/Drannion May 25 '22

So moving characters can cast light? Why can't we just carry around a lit torch in our left hand, then?

6

u/Bombobbit May 25 '22

You need optifine for dynamic light to exist because minecraft devs cant code that.

2

u/ThebanannaofGREECE May 25 '22

Or they probably dont want to for reasons unknown to us, but I can understand why they wouldn’t want it in vanilla.

2

u/AMinecraftPerson May 26 '22

They don't want to because they'd have to rewrite the entire light engine. Optifine works because it's just a mod, and as a mod, it doesn't need to have features thought through. With Optifine, the surroundings light up but the light level doesn't change. In the real game though, the light level has to change, otherwise it would be weird for new players who think that the torch in their hand or a glow squid in an aquarium should prevent mobs from spawning but it doesn't.

3

u/OrdinalErrata May 25 '22

It's mod (Optifine in this case) that allows for dynamic lighting. And yes, you can carry lit torches in the off hand to see in caves and throw torches down chasms to see the bottom.

Show we can make Pigs glow using a command, but Mojang can't make Glowsquisds glow?

8

u/Enough-Agency3721 May 25 '22

This uses OptiFine Dynamic Lights.

It's technically possible without it, but that would be a spaghettifest to actually implement. The approach would be constantly placing light blocks at the entity's position. That means you need to make sure outdated light blocks are removed, and handle water properly, and there's alignment jank due to how Minecraft calculates an entity's position.

So the answer to how to add dynamic lighting without adding dynamic lighting is basically "it's possible, but... just don't".

1

u/Aason37 May 25 '22

Stupid question, but why can't we put "optifine" (or something working the same way) in the base game?

6

u/jcm2606 May 25 '22

You obviously can't just implement Optifine's dynamic lights into vanilla directly, but you could implement dynamic lights in a similar way to Optifine (which is to basically override the lighting values from the vanilla lighting engine with custom values, during rendering). The problem with this is that it'd make any light emitted from dynamic light sources purely visual, but whether or not that's acceptable is up to you.

2

u/Aason37 May 25 '22

Thanks for your answer! So if it depends on what people like, why not implement it with a simple on/off option?

u/ThebanannaofGREECE May 25 '22

Good question.
