I've seen the males in youtuber videos. (they are sheep) eta: if you bait a trap with food in a trough, you may lure one in

I encountered this in an earlier version (a much earlier version). I fiddled around with mouse wheel sensitivity, which seemed to help to some extent. However it finally resolved itself when I replaced the mouse. I've not had the issue repeat since then.

Oddly, was looking again for butterflies while playing tonight - didn't see any in maybe half an hour of playtime. Then exited and re-entered the game, and 2 butterflies immediately flew up right in front of me! I mean, almost seeming to emerge right from under my feet. I've never had this happen before. No idea what caused the change. @AutumnCreature22344

I see what you mean now. There is a post about this in the issue tracker. There is another setting that must be made when rebinding shift and ctrl. Please see the solution which is shown in a screenshot.

Are you aware that knapping stones works slightly differently than knapping flint? When you place a piece of flint, you instantly see choices for knapping. However with stone, you place a piece of stone and it just sits there. You have to act as though you are placing it again to see the choices for knapping. I suspect this may be the problem you're having, since you say that you "can only knap flint." Regarding rebinding the keys: I think you already know this, that when you rebound Crouch to Ctrl (instead of Shift) it changed knapping to Ctrl right click. If you can actually knap flint using Ctrl right click, then I think the issue is what I wrote above.

Vanilla already has trader camps. They don't happen very often, but they are there.

Do you have "Block Interaction Help" turned on? It is in Settings > Interface. With this enabled, you can see which tool will extract a material by looking at the material. I understand your frustration with the manual. Please know that it is not finished, and will not be finished for quite some time. You may be able to influence the design by posting in the "Suggestions" area of the forum.

Mischief of Mice: Importing Your Home [or whatever] to a New World

You may be right @AutumnCreature22344 Just went into my world created in 1.22.3, walked around for a good long while and nary a butterfly to be found. Might be worth reporting it at the Issue Tracker.

No, blueberries have fall colors. It is normal. Some varieties irl are quite strikingly beautiful too!

Have you considered... ? - keeping inventory at death - maximizing the time items remain before they despawn - using a mod, such as Death Corpses, that allow items to be contained until you have time to retrieve them There is also a section in the forums for suggestions.

HA! Been there, done that with the deletion! Another method is to dig a hole and place the block on the ground next to the hole (I did corners touching so that it would look less natural). I like the haybale method too.

The walls have ears, lol! As soon as we start talking exploits, it seems like The Powers That Be remove them.

This one is super important, yet I rarely think to mention it... Mark where you see surface bits of desirable ores, such as copper. There will be copper ore directly underneath the surface ore, usually needing to mine several blocks to get to it, but sometimes it will be the first minable block. I mark it on the map, but I also mark the exact spot with a piece of grass (placed as if about to make a firepit). If for some reason your map is stingy on surface copper for that first pickaxe and hammer, you can always pan sand or gravel blocks to get those last few nuggets. (knife + log = pan; panning requires that the player be standing in water)

Don't purchase a wolf puppy expecting it to be your best friend forever. Seriously though, my best tip: meals cooked in a pot will keep you satisfied much longer than raw food. Oh! And welcome to the forums!
