25w05a Firefly bushes should have a bigger range

The firefly bushes are a great addition, and it's nice to see the original swamp get some love.
However, because the firefly particles only activate at a short range, it takes a second for them to kick in.
This means that if you're travelling through a swamp biome, it feels like the world/fireflies only exists when you look at it (think of texture "pop in" in other games), which undermines the effect.
I think that to counteract this, firefly bushes should have a larger activation range.
The fact that the firefly bush has its animated texture in both the day and the night also highlights that the fireflies are a particle produced by the bush and it makes them feel less part of the world.
Therefore, I think it would help if the firefly bush changed to a static texture during the day, and then became animated at night to indicate that the fireflies have "moved in".
This would make fireflies feel more dynamic, and less like a prop.
