This mod adds butterflies with a full life cycle to the world of Minecraft. It features 16 butterfly species, mostly based on real-life butterflies but a couple of them are purely fantasy butterflies.
Butterflies will lay eggs in leaves if they get close to them, and if a player collects these eggs they can plant them in other leaf blocks. The eggs will eventually hatch into caterpillars. After living on the leaves for a short time, a caterpillar will eventually build a chrysalis. These will then hatch into new butterflies within the world.
Each butterfly species has it's own size, speed, rarity and lifespan. Some will be larger, some will move faster, some will live longer than others.
Butterflies can be caught or released using a butterfly net. Once caught, they can be bottled and placed in the world as decorative objects.
They can also be pinned to a piece of paper to create a scroll where you can look at the butterfly in detail. Unfortunately this kills the butterfly. These scrolls can also be placed around your world as decoration.
Scrolls can also be placed in a book, allowing the player to collect information on each butterfly species.
If you want to breed the butterflies in this mod, then be sure to keep your cats away from them!

As I flutter in the breeze I think of what my mind's eye sees At night when I'm an old wise man Contemplating the things I can. Am I the one that dreams of he, Or is he the one that dreams of me?
