Finding Atmospheric Life in Swamps and Caves

Locating Swamp Fireflies

The mod breathes new life into swamp environments by introducing fireflies. To encounter them:

  • Travel across your world to locate a swamp or mangrove swamp biome, identifiable by shallow murky water, lily pads, and hanging vines.
  • Wander through the damp canopy and open water areas. You will spot fireflies glowing and floating through the air, adding subtle motion and atmosphere to the swamp environment.

Exploring Enhanced Caves

In addition to swamp life, the mod introduces extra atmospheric effects inside subterranean cave systems:

  • Find a natural cave opening or ravine and descend into the underground layers.
  • Explore deep caverns, large open underground chambers, and damp tunnels.
  • Keep your eyes on the open air spaces and walls of the cave as you explore, noting the subtle environmental details and ambient life that fill what would normally be empty underground voids.
  • Keep your in-game brightness set to a balanced level rather than maximum brightness so cave ambiance and lighting effects stand out sharply against the dark stone.
