Catch butterflies live and set them free or place them in terrariums.

Catch and Release: Butterflies

Description

Why do the beautiful things need to die? Well not anymore!

My first mod for VS. The flat 2D butterflies in display cases was not the right vibe for me so I wanted to bring a little aesthetic beauty to this dark world.

A companion mod to <span style="color: #3598db;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Catch and Release: Fish</span>

<span style="color: #e74c3c;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Warning: Existing saves with versions below v2.0.0 should remove all cages before updating.</span>

<span style="color: #3598db; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-3598db, #46a1de);" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Requires <span style="color: #3598db;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Catch and Release Lib</span></span>

Features:

  • Changes the behaviour of bugnet to catch live butterflies, instead of dead butterflies
  • Added 2 types of butterfly terrariums with material-typed crafting recipies: wooden butterfly cage and glass terrarium
  • Added grid recipe to 'convert' a live butterfly to a dead butterfly
  • Butterflies placed in terrariums will flutter about
  • Butterflies in terrariums sleep at night (moths sleep during the day)
  • Can place items inside the cages just like a display case. Larger cages can store more items.
  • <span style="color: #3598db; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-3598db, #46a1de);" data-darkreader-inline-color="">NEW </span>Config options for this mod (see below)
  • <span style="color: #3598db; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-3598db, #46a1de);" data-darkreader-inline-color="">NEW </span>Butterflies must be stored in butterfly cages or released or otherwise they will become dead butterflies (configurable)
