Adding to the visual enhancements, a new bush type has been introduced. By day, it's an unassuming plant, but at night, it transforms into a mesmerizing firefly bush!

The desert biome also receives a significant atmospheric upgrade. Immerse yourself in enhanced ambient sounds – whispers of the wind, crickets chirping, and rustling branches – adding a new layer of realism to your desert explorations.
