About BetterNether Ambient Mobs
From ModrinthAdds just the two ambient mobs from the BetterNether mod.
WARNING: If you are looking for the complete original BetterNether mod this is NOT it! Although it doesn't cause a conflict, you shouldn't install both mods at the same time.
BetterNether is a great mod, but one of its best features is its two ambient mobs: the firefly and the hydrogen jellyfish.
Those two mobs and their spawn eggs are the only thing the mod features, so you can continue playing in your world without the rest of the BetterNether stuff if you don't want it there.
Both mobs spawn in any biome in the Nether, including biomes from other mods.
Mob icons are included if you use Xaero's Minimap.
Works in Forge with Sinytra Connector!
