Frequently asked questions

How do I catch butterflies in Longwings Mod?
Craft a Catching Net using sticks and string, then right-click on any flying butterfly or moth to catch it. The bug will go into your inventory as an item that you can place, breed, or keep in a habitat.
What biomes have the rarest butterflies?
Different butterfly and moth species spawn in different biomes—check your Butterfly and Moth Handbook after catching bugs to see which species are found where, then visit those biomes to complete your collection.
Do butterflies help farms in Longwings Mod?
Yes, flying insects will naturally fly over your crops and speed up their growth, so having butterflies and moths active near your farm provides a passive farming boost.
How do I build a bug habitat?
Place Butterfly Feeder blocks and custom netting blocks to create an enclosed space, then right-click to release caught bugs inside. Fill feeders with Sugar-Water Bowls to keep the insects healthy and happy.
What does butterfly brew do?
Butterfly Brew acts as a lure that attracts specific bug species to your location, making it easier to find and catch insects you're looking for without having to travel to their native biomes.
Why are my butterflies disappearing?
Butterflies slow down and land on walls in dark areas, so they may seem to vanish—check dark corners and walls of your habitat, or add more light blocks to keep them active and visible.
Can I release bugs back into the world?
Yes, hold a bug item and right-click on any block to release it back into the wild, allowing you to free butterflies and moths or move them to different locations.
How do I use the handbook to find missing species?
Craft a Handbook using a book and Catching Net, then open it to see all the bugs you've caught and which species are still missing—the handbook will show you where to find the ones you haven't collected yet.
Do moths behave differently than butterflies?
Yes, moths are active at night and are attracted to torches and light blocks, while butterflies are more active during the day and prefer to rest on surfaces in lit areas.
Can I feed insects to make them trust me?
You can fill Sugar-Water Bowls in Butterfly Feeders to keep bugs healthy and content, which helps them stay in your habitat longer and breed more successfully.
