This mod adds back the fireflies which were supposed to come with the 1.19 mangrove swamp but which were scrapped in their developpement as well as the Bottle of Fireflies which basicaly is a Light block with collisions and obtainable in survival.
Here are the features:
- Firefly Mob: the fireflies will spawn naturaly in swamps and mangrove swamps where they will occasionally be eaten by frogs (which wont die because minecraft is not a real life simulator but a world of wonders to explore and build atop of). With a glass bottle, a player can grab a firefly, therfore granting him a Bottle of Fireflies which can be placed down like any block. The firefly has its own mob cap too.
- Bottle of Fireflies Block: a Bottle of Fireflies illuminates with the same power as there are fireflies inside of it, ranging from 1 to 15. You can increase its power by capturing more fireflies and decrease it by shifting and right-clicking in the air to release a firefly (when there are no more fireflies inside you get a regular glass bottle back). It requires no tools to pick the bottle back up and its texture is dependent on the number of fireflies it has inside of itself.
- Glowing Goo Item: Also, as I felt like fireflies should drop something, a item called "Glowing Goo" has been added which, when eaten, will grant a glow effect for 15 seconds.
That's pretty much it, but feel free to suggest some other features I could add because I feel like this mod is a bit too small and I would love to make it grow!

1. The mod only works for Forge 1.19 version 41.0.63, I'll update the mod when there'll be a "recommended" version added.
2. Do not use in combination with another mod which alters the vanilla "glass bottle" item as you may encounter some issues.
