Source Code – Issue Tracker

Night’s Light adds realistic, working fireflies to Minecraft. Made for Forge (1.20.1 and below) and NeoForge (1.20.4 and onwards – coming soon).

!!!NEWS!!!

Version 1.20.4 and upwards will all be for NeoForge. 1.20.4 will come out when Citadel and JEI is ported to 1.20.4 NeoForge

There will probably be no Version 1.20.2 or 1.20.3, because neither Citadel nor JEI support these Versions for NeoForge

Support for 1.19.4 is now finally out! But that’s not all: also support for 1.20 and 1.20.1 is now out too.
