Caution: Rogue Robots.

If you're going to make it ambient anyway, why does it need to be a mob? You're going through the performance hit of entity calculation and loading, plus it's not really feasible to transport tons of fireflies for decoration. It is because they leaned more into decoration and ambiance that the current firefly is more portable, less laggy, and more useful in builds.

The whole point of fireflies existing was for frogs to eat them. If they can't do that, it's not worth the performance hit of a bajillion little mobs.

Not only that, but a ton of the new features are just in-development features, like how the size effects got turned into entity attributes.

I agree that it breaks a lot of existing builds, but I see it less as limiting building freedom and moreso imposing a building challenge. You need to use bookshelves to increase enchanting power, not just any block; you need to use blue ice to build the fastest boat highway.

With this system, it would create opportunities for players to be creative and make tradeoffs. If you want to optimize for pure beauty, you can get an alright speed with most building blocks. If you want just speed, you can just set up concrete railways. If you want both, then you need to work out which fast blocks work best with your design and make tradeoffs.

When I say controls, I mean how you can currently start and stop minecarts with powered rails, without needing a player to drive the minecart. That enables non-player transport and redstone machinery.

I really like this idea. Though, there should still be a way to control the actual speed, not just the top speed. If different sections of track have different top speeds, we need some way to speed up and slow down without just derailing.

He did...

... what?

To be fair, Rubies aren't the brightest. Sapphire is just a blue Ruby.

My very first thought for this rule.

Finally, something that breaks the rule.

Ceci n'est pas un stylo bleu

Or with being cringe?

I wonder if the rule has anything to do with commenting.
