Productive Bees Mod adds many new types of bees that can automatically create resources for you. This mod expands on the vanilla bee system with advanced beehives designed for automation. You can find bees that produce vanilla materials like diamonds and iron, as well as resources from other mods. With over 200 bees to discover, you can build a full setup to farm items automatically. These new bees can be found in nests around the world or by breeding different types together.

Features:

  • Adds over 200 new types of bees that produce different resources.
  • Introduces advanced beehives that automatically harvest honey and other products.
  • Use a Centrifuge block to extract materials from the combs your bees produce.
  • Find various new nests in the world, like Slimy Nests in swamps and Solitary Nests in many locations.
  • Capture and move bees safely using the Bee Cage item.
  • Feed bees a Honey Treat to calm them down, heal them, or help baby bees grow.

New Blocks

  • Advanced Beehive: A special hive that lets bees work without getting angry when you collect items. It can be expanded to hold more bees.
  • Expansion Box: Increases the capacity of an Advanced Beehive, allowing up to 5 bees to live inside.
  • Centrifuge: A machine that processes honeycombs into their final resource, like iron or diamonds.
  • Special Nests: Discover unique nests like the Dragon Egg Hive for Draconic Bees or nests made of sand, stone, and wood for solitary bees.

Resource Bees

  • Breed bees that produce mineral combs for Iron, Gold, Lapis, Redstone, Emerald, and Diamond.
  • Find bees in the Nether that create Nether Quartz, Glowstone, and Magma Cream.
  • Discover Ender Bees in the End that produce Ender Pearls.

Special Bees

  • Skeletal Bee: Produces bonemeal and moves into unlit hives at night.
  • ZomBee: Creates rotten flesh and also appears in dark, empty hives during the night.
  • Draconic Bee: A rare bee found in the End that lives in Dragon Egg Hives.

Commands:

  • Kill a specific type of bee: /kill @e[type=productivebees:configurable_bee, name="Diamond Bee"]
  • Summon a specific type of bee: /summon productivebees:configurable_bee ~ ~ ~ {"type":"productivebees:diamond"}
  • Give yourself a specific bee gene: /give @p productivebees:gene{productivebees_gene_purity:100,productivebees_gene_attribute:"productivebees:crystalline",productivebees_gene_value:0}

How to Use:

  1. Most bees are created by breeding two different bees together.
  2. Solitary bees, found in nests around the world, do not live in hives and are mainly used for breeding new species.
  3. To get Skeletal or ZomBees, place a few empty advanced hives in a dark, chunk-loaded area and wait for them to spawn at night.
  4. If a bee won’t enter a new hive, it may remember its old home. Capture it in a Bee Cage, then release it while sneaking next to the new hive to reassign it.
  5. To get bee genes for the Incubator, use a piston to squash a bee over a bottler. Put the resulting item into the Centrifuge to extract its genes.
