Bees

Bees fly between flowers and their nest, gather nectar and make honey. Pollinated bees grow the crops they fly over. They head home at night and when it rains.

Bees are neutral. Hit one and its hive mates come after you too. A sting poisons you, and the bee dies a minute later.

Any flower breeds them, and they follow you while you hold one.

Nests and hives

Bee nests grow on oak and birch trees in plains, flower forests and forests. An oak or birch sapling that grows near a flower sometimes gets one too.

Build beehives from planks and honeycomb. When a nest or hive is full, shears give honeycomb and a glass bottle gives honey. A campfire underneath keeps the bees calm. Silk Touch moves a nest or hive with its bees inside.

Honey

The honey bottle feeds you and cures poison. The honey block slows you down, lets you slide down its sides and breaks your fall. Pistons move it like slime, but honey and slime don't stick to each other.

Iron golems

Iron golems crack as they get hurt. Iron ingots repair them.

The rest of 1.15

You also get end stone bricks as hard as stone, boats that burn as fuel, sponges that dry in the Nether, rails that face you, eating in Creative, beds that set your spawn, the new game rules, toggle sneak and sprint, and more.

Every feature can be turned off in Backport Core's settings screen, under Mod Options.

Works with

With Village & Pillage Backport, its campfires calm bees, bees pollinate its flowers and berry bushes, and its village golems crack like any other. Without it, this mod brings its own campfire.

With Update Aquatic Backport, doInsomnia stops its phantoms, and drowned spawn eggs make baby drowned.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2847 or newer, and Backport Core 1.1.0 or newer. The CurseForge app installs Backport Core and Fluidlogged API with it.

Also by me: Village & Pillage Backport, all of 1.14 on 1.12.2, and Enchantment Recipes, which lets you craft enchanted books from mod materials.
