Welcome to the Bug Out! mod, a mod that aims to make vanilla bug mobs a bit more interesting as well as (in the future) incorporate unique and useful bugs to catch. In this mod, you will go about catching and keeping bugs using the new Bugshot tool. If you keep them happy enough, you'll get unique loot that can be used to make powerful and fun tools, armor sets(with unique and interesting set bonuses), and blocks.
Currently, this mod is in public prerelease and adds habitat functionality for Spiders & Bees, as well as various related blocks, materials, and tools. A wiki is in progress, but the mod should be self-explanatory with JIT (or similar) and an empty habitat(new block).
Have questions, want to help development, or have a bug(pun inevitable) to report? Ask them in the comments of this post, and I'll get to them ASAP. Alternatively, I will be quite a bit easier to reach on the Mod Discord.

If you mean cross-mod support, that's a really good idea, actually... I would definitely need to put some serious work into custom code for it, but I may look into this in the future.
As for adding custom-modded insects within the mod itself, there are already several planned for as soon as the next update... :)

will this add support for some modded insects?
