Minecraft’s adventurous world has always been a playground where creativity knows no bounds. However, even in this pixelated realm, Mojang has shown a penchant for aligning with nature’s rules. Back in 2022, they pulled the plug on introducing fireflies as a passive mob—those enchanting insects were notably left out because in reality, they’re toxic to frogs. Fast forward over two years and fireflies are making a comeback in Minecraft, though not exactly how you might expect.
Nothing quite captures nature’s magic like a flock of fireflies twinkling through the night. Videogames often tap into this captivating image to enrich nighttime scenes, and Minecraft is no exception. Originally, these fireflies were meant to be breakfast on the go for amphibians, but to keep Minecraft’s frogs from a toxic fate, Mojang decided to cut them from the mob lineup. Yet, fear not, for Mojang is set to resurrect them—not as creatures, but as a cleverly designed plant block.
Broaden your horizons in the swampy areas and alongside water bodies in Minecraft, and you’ll stumble upon the firefly bush plant block, first unveiled in a Java snapshot and later making its official debut in Minecraft’s initial 2025 game release. These bushes aren’t just for show; they emit tiny, glowing particles, perfectly mimicking the enchanting dance of fireflies at dusk.
Besides transforming your in-game exploratory nights and enhancing your architectural masterpieces, the firefly bush has another trick up its sleeve. Mojang has hinted, “Place the firefly bush beneath other blocks, and watch them twinkle with magic!”
Countless exciting changes are on the horizon in Minecraft’s next update. Among these are new plant blocks—serene bushes that add more depth to your flora options. And for livestock enthusiasts, the update also introduces delightful new cow variants: one with a thick, cozy fur coat braving the cold, and its counterpart stylishly sporting a sleek, short brown coat for warmer climates.
Desert explorers, listen closely: there are fresh ambient sounds waiting to be discovered. Roaming through sandy biomes now comes with the gentle music of sand gently blowing or the timeless sounds of a deserted landscape. Dead bushes will do their best cricket impressions, crinkle with the rustle of twigs, and whisper haunting tales with howling winds.
