Hello Mojang!! Ever since Minecraft Live 2021, I have been looking forward to the firefly mob being in Minecraft. I could just picture building a hut in the mangrove swamp and sitting my character on a porch under candlelight watching the fireflies. After weeks and weeks of your guys hard work it seems you must be stuck and could use a little help to come up with uses for the firefly. If they were left in the game and only were an ambient mob they would still be adored by the community, but I think a new light source utilizing the firefly would be a great feature that would take it one step further. A new item would be added: the Jar (or the Firefly Jar). It would be crafted with 5 glass in a U shape and iron nuggets across the top (as a lid) with nothing in the center slot. The player would be able to take the jar and catch fireflies similar to how fish and tadpoles are caught. The player could catch 1-15 fireflies in one jar. They could also be released. Each firefly would add one light level to the Jar when it is placed. It would function similarly to lanterns with how it's placed. The added gameplay element of catching fireflies in the swamp at night would be very creative and nostalgic. The firefly light from the Jar could also have the added bonus of decreasing the time it takes to fish at night! Mojang, if you are reading this, I would like to say thank you for continuing to support this game with all your incredible work and creativity. I hope my ideas are helpful. :)
