Silkworms & Moths

Silkworms & Moths 0.7.0

Your tamed silk moth is now a proper mount: give it a saddle, open its equipment screen, and take off — then double-tap W to cruise hands-free while you steer by looking.

✨ New

• 🐴 Saddle-required riding — taming alone no longer lets you fly. Right-click your tamed moth while holding a saddle to equip it. An unsaddled moth tells you it "Needs a saddle" instead of being ridden.
• 🎒 Moth equipment screen — a small vanilla-style mount window with one saddle slot (no chest storage), a live moth preview, and a leash status indicator when it's on a lead.
• ⌨️ Press E while riding to open that screen, exactly like a horse. Sneak + right-click opens it on the ground.
• 🕹️ Cruise flight — while riding, double-tap W or hold Ctrl+W to latch a gentle hands-free forward cruise. Steer by looking; it releases on back, sneak, landing, wall hit or dismount.
• 🪣 Bucket count visuals — the Silkworm Bucket now shows how many worms are inside (1–5) at a glance.
• 🔉 Soft ambience — faint, throttled wing flutter and rare dust motes in flight, plus quiet cues on cocoon hatch, taming and silkworm nibbling.

🔧 Changes

• 😌 Calmer moths — idle moths flutter around less and rest on the ground more (following, combat and riding are unaffected).
• 🌿 Feeding tightened — silkworms now only accept grass-type plants (short/tall grass, fern, large fern); moths still use cherry leaves only. Grazing still never harms grass blocks.
• ❤️ Sturdier pet — newly tamed moths now have 16 HP (up from 12). Damage stays gentle — the moth is a support companion, not a war pet.

🔄 Compatibility

• No entity/item ID changes and no breaking save changes. Moths tamed before 0.7.0 are granted a saddle once on load so they stay rideable.
• No custom gameplay networking — 0.7.0 uses one tiny standard Fabric screen payload (the moth's entity id) purely to render the equipment-screen preview.
• Requires Fabric API; Mod Menu optional. Minecraft 1.21.11, both client & server.

🧹 Safe removal

Unchanged: run /silkworms removal_check then /silkworms prepare_removal confirm while installed — tamed moths become named vanilla Allays, and any equipped saddle is dropped, never destroyed.
