BUGS BUGS BUGS! But the good kind.

Alrighty, let’s go through all the mobs and their features! Left to right, top to bottom, image one through image two. Since this’ll take FOREVER, use the read more! Look forward to a part two focusing on even more bugs!

SNAIL

Snails spawn in forests and swamps. Snails leave a harvestable trail of slime that can be affected by their food- make it bouncy (by feeding them blueberries), fast (raspberries) or honeyed (honey bottle). Snails come in various shades of browns, grays, greens and ruddy berry colors.

GIANT WATER BUG

Spawning in the beaches (any body of water, really), water bugs are defensive and will attack if you get close. When tamed by obtaining their eggs, water bugs make for good guard dogs- they can be commanded to stay, follow, wander, and by shift-clicking- set to neutral, passive or aggressive. GWBs come in shades of browns and blacks.

SLUG

Slugs spawn in jungles, and leave behind trails that can be used to make redstone components with upgraded signal strength. They come in shades influenced by real-life slugs- pictured is the rare banana slug.

MEALYBUG

Ah, mealybugs, the bane of any farmer. Spawning on crops, mealies eat and suck at crops until they’re sated. However, if you’ve befriended any ants, these bugs become a source of hearty honeydew, which when bottled makes for an incredible food source. Mealybugs only have one color- a dusty, pale white.

FLY

Flies spawn around carrion blocks, buzzing around and being general nuisances. Flies can be tamed by feeding them rotten flesh, and can swarm around attackers on command, descending down from the heavens to make enemies’ lives living hell. Keep an eye out for the rare tsetse and horse flies, larger and more dangerous breeds. Flies have two variants- brown and dark grey.

LIGHTNING BUG / FIREFLY

During the nighttime, look out for fireflies in the distance (since they only spawn during the night). Fireflies can be bottled and tamed with fruits, and can be placed down for a light show. Non-entity fireflies spawn around Naturality’s frog species and certain grasses, if you want the two-pixel variation. Fireflies can be dyed both as entities and as bottles, and dyeing them colors their lights. Fireflies come in a few different variants, all based on real-life species.

COCKROACH

Cockroaches spawn in Naturality’s new caves (the limestone cave and the sunken jungle) as well as in the new beach grottos. Cockroaches can be used as clean-up-crews, consuming detritus and fertilizing farms as they make their way around. Smaller cockroaches have a tendency to swarm players just like flies, and all cockroaches can be tamed. Cockroaches come in a horde of variants based on real roaches, like B. giganteus (giant cave), B. dubia, M. longipennis and B. germanica (German).

MAGGOT

Maggots are the larvae of flies, found in carcasses. They can be itemized and used to tame other creatures, if you’re a monster.

DRAGONFLY

Dragonflies spawn around bodies of water, attacking other insects to eat their fill. They can be tamed and their wings used to upgrade elytras. Dragonflies also can be used as the poor man’s elytra- allowing you to hover and slow-fall. Dragonflies come in some green and blue colors, and one iridescent one.

APHID

Another crop-destroyer, make a farm and the aphids will come. Unlike mealies, they can’t be harvested, only itemized or used in fiber and wood farms after being tamed with offerings of plants. Aphids have one variant- green.

ISOPOD

Isopods spawn in forests, and are used to culture molds and other fungi. They’re basically crustacean puppies. Also see my prior isopost for more colors. Pictured is the rubber duckie variant- the true amount of isos is a secret :)

BUTTERFLY

Butterflies spawn nearly everywhere during the day, and during the night are replaced with moths. Butterflies are basically bees, only instead of honey, they’re used to obtain nectar, which functions as natural potions that give different effects depending on what flowers they come from. Moths, on the other hand, work as glares- they dislike darkness and will point it out if given some nectar as a treat. Butterflies come in a horde of variants.

LADYBEETLE / LADYBUG

Ladybugs and other beetles of their ilk spawn in the plains, and are useful for their shells- which can be made into tough armors. Ladybugs suck at crops, and if tamed will trawl through your fields, picking only the good bits out.

GIANT ISOPOD

Giant isos spawn in the deep seas, and make a living cultivating mosses in the depths. Perhaps you could gain their trust and use them for your own good? The ways of these depth-dwellers are a mystery. They come in three variants- light, dark and pink.

Congrats! You made it down here. Have a cookie 🍪

RAT Redo!

The previous rat model and feature-set wasn’t up to par with what I want Naturality to be, so here’s the NEW reference sheet / feature list. Rats are found in abandoned structures around the Overworld, and also spawn in forests.

The model for these guys will be done next week. For a variety of rat color variants and some more info on rats and mice, check below the cut!

COOOLORS rahhhhh

There’s more than these, I swear! Anyhoo, rats are tameable by feeding them seeds and crops, and can perform a lot of menial tasks for you, from farming to hunting. While one rat is relatively weak, a swarm of them can overpower nearly any foe.

Mice spawn naturally in nearly every biome, and will return to their nest blocks at night. These blocks can be silk-touched, and work as a storage block for mice and rats alike. Mice can detect infested blocks.

While itemized rats are really only useful for storage (rat depository when?) and warning of danger when in your hand, itemized mice can be used as bait for larger creatures, weather forecasters and some other secrets. Rats and mice both dance to jukeboxes.

You can also find the rat divider I made for this over on proxmojis in a bit.

the largest of the raptors that will be present in my mod, the Bissekty dromaeosaur is a formidable foe. with massive claws and a heavily-built frame, Bissekties will waste no time devouring hapless players… if they could get to them first. see, Bissekties are odd for this mod, being that they only are tameable thru finding their fossil egg and hatching it.

possum and babies!!! i ended up straying a smidge from the OG concept art, but i'm pretty proud of what i ended up with! some more details about the possums- they are immune to poisons (as a reference to the pseudo-fact that possums are immune to rabies), they hiss if approached, and their babies are items.

that's right- items! if a possum mother trusts you enough, she'll let you access her inventory, which contains babies! just like rats, because the babies are so small, you need to store them in a nest.

possums. once tamed, can be equipped with carpets, harnesses, and a chest to expand their natural inventory. like cats, they'll bring you gifts once tamed.

one last lil gift for you all- POSSUM CONCEPT for naturality mod!!!! possums are befriended by feeding them (and tamed by obtaining their babies from a nest)! they make for good companions- they can hitch a ride on your shoulder, bring you trash, and hiss at danger. oh yeah, and when perturbed, they play dead by exploding in a poof of white smoke. cool lil dudes!!

also nevermind the wolfenstein quote in the corner lol

Hello chat! There's been a small update. The modpack no longer works so we've had to resort to using Better Minecraft, a much more simpler and better modpack. There will be no Origins, unfortunely. And recently, we've had security risks so I've had to open up Applications. Below are the applications to apply for the SMP.

Player Apps: https://forms.gle/hqHdEZrVgySZZpZM7 Writer Apps: https://forms.gle/Mos5wjtvSdYyQLMt5 Admin Apps: https://forms.gle/pLwUdCBRDYymLTxVA Builder Apps: https://forms.gle/qRtX9Bdr4x3weqq16

These applications are your only way into getting in.

Note: You do not have to take all of them. One is to apply to play, the others are to make teams. However, if you feel like you fit the criteria, you are allowed to apply to all of them. Good luck!

Applications close October 13th or 7th so you have time to apply!

Cloudie Connected Universe (CCU / Cloudieverse)

Okay! Listen up! It's time for the fun stuff now. So, I have this multiverse in my minecraft content called as the title says; Cloudieverse (The Cloudie Connected Universe) (As inspired by MCU.) 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 】 Now, I wanted to introduce to you the key duo / trio names between the said multiverse. 1. SoulboundDuo. | SoulboundDuo is a Duo name between the variants Juno Rosen and Epsilon, they are inspired by ARG!Sunshipduo and follow the same concept finding each other in every universe / Killing each other in every universe. | 2. HoneyfangDuo. | The name is inspired by Sunshipduo. However, this is my duo and ship name with me and my Partner. | | 3. Sunset Trio. | Sunset Trio is the Trio name between me and two of my friends on a MC SMP but can apply to our other character's and or Variants. | 4. Godly Trio. | Similar to SoulboundDuo except it involves three people. Any Juno and Eps variants and 1 soul whose spirit is split across the multiverse, Mystery. They are called Godly Trio due to the fact each of them are like 'gods'. They traverse when freely and do whatever they please when they feel like it. This trio mainly contains The Original Juno and Epsilon in the CCU and as for Mystery, it is just his brother, Avow. (Who is actually Mystery reincarnated into another body.)

| 5. ObsidianDuo. | This duo is inspired by Emerald Duo and made for me and another friend of mine. Not much is to say about these two. | 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 】 Character's involved: SBD- O!Eps and O!Juno (Odyssey SMP) 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦✦ 】 HFD- Any Juno and Rose variants. (Mainly directed as CV!Honeyfangduo. [Cloudieverse] CV!Juno and CV!Ambrose.)

【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦✦ 】

SST- Any variants or character's of Juno, Buddy, and Syn. (Trio name Originated from GOOPSMP) 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦✦ 】

GT - Mainly consist of O!Soulbounduo and TS! (TimelessSMP) Mystery [who, again, is reformed in another body and is 'known' as Mystery's brother.] (Will explain this complicated process on a different level.) 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦✦ 】 OBD- Any Juno and Marlo variants. (Usually follows the Son (Juno) and father (Marlo) trope unless stated otherwise.) 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦✦ 】 How are Mystery and Avow the same person? Mystery is a moth hybrid who was first played in my first ever SMP titled 'TimelessSMP'. In this universe, he was originally a god of chaos and tricks. Similar to Loki and any other deity / Entity. One day, a convergence between TimelessSMP and ReverenceSMP (My 3rd SMP) had occurred and Mystery was caught in the middle of it, his spirit fell through the floor which in turn split his soul. and so now, any SMP he is part of, his soul becomes split and it takes a toll on his original body which is in a coma. The gods of Timeless are keeping him alive but decided to ease the pain by forming him a new body with a new personality so it has no affect on the timeline. He would be known as Avow and also be known as a spider hybrid. 【✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦✦ 】 I think that's it. If you have any questions of these group names and of the CCU itself, don't be afraid to comment or go into my Ask box!
