Behavior
Fireflies were two pixels in size, rather than the single pixel size of the implemented firefly particle, which would have made them the smallest mob in the game. Fireflies were originally going to be the mob eaten by Minecraft:frogs to produce Minecraft:froglights, later being replaced by Minecraft:magma cubes in this role. Frogs eating fireflies was scrapped because some species of fireflies are poisonous to some species of frogs in real life.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> Fireflies themselves were scrapped for being a "performance nightmare", which was not outweighed enough by its positive benefits for ambience.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Bluesky</ref>
