Firefly Bushes became popular amongMinecraftfans the moment they wereteased in a snapshotback in February. And, after waiting for what felt like forever, they are finally here. The Spring to Life drop has officially added them to the game, along with some other items like Leaf Litter and Cactus Flowers.
Firefly Bushes are mostly just for decoration. With their bright glow, they add a cozy vibe to your world. If you’ve ever walked around a swamp at night (inMinecraft)and seen little glowing dots floating around, chances are that you have spotted a Firefly Bush.
How Firefly Bushes Work In Minecraft
Firefly Bushes are little plants that glow at night because of the fireflies flying around them. Players can find them near water in places likeSwamps, Mangrove Swamps, Badlands. They look really nice and add a cozy feel to your world. They are easier to spot at night since they glow a bit.
Once you find a Firefly Bush, you may break itwith a toolor your hands. It doesn’t need anything special.
Alternatively,Minecraftfans can also get it by trading with aWandering Trader. For players who don’t know, it’s afriendly mobthat spawns randomly near the player. He sells all sorts of items that you don’t usually find easily. Players will need one Emerald to buy a Firefly Bush from him.
If you need Emeralds, you’re able to get them by trading with villagers, looting buried treasure chests, or mining. The Wandering Trader also sells other plants, dyes, and random useful things, so it’s worth checking what he has.
How To Grow More Firefly Bushes
If you find a Firefly Bush and want more of them around, it’s actually pretty easy. For that, you will need to useBone Mealon it, and it will spread to nearby blocks.Bone Meal is aMinecraftmaterialthat players can use as a fertilizer for plants and fungi. There are a few ways to get it, but one easy option is buying it from the Wandering Trader (if you’re already getting Firefly Bushes from him). However, one thing to keep in mind here is thatthe trader doesn’t always have it in stock.
With Bone Meal, Firefly Bushes will grow faster and multiply on their own. And yes, if it’s night and there’s nothing solid covering the bush from above, it might even playambient soundsnow and then.
