About:
Productive Bees builds on the content added by Minecraft 1.15 and adds additional bees and advanced beehives allowing you to put your bees to work creating resources fully automated. Productive bees are just as derpy as it's vanilla cousin, but makes up for it in usefulness and beauty.
This mod adds more than 80 new bees and 32 new advanced beehives capable of producing your favorite resources.
The mod is fully customizable, you can add your own bees, disable existing bees and change the production resources and rates.
It is recommended to use JEI for looking up breeding recipes and Patchouli for ingame documentation.
If you have questions hop on over to the discord server
Wiki
New wiki on the way
Mod integrations:
Patchouli: Install to get access to the in-game guide book
Buzzier Bees: Different wood variants of the advanced beehive and expansion box are available if Buzzier Bees is installed along with the mods providing wood types for BB beehives.
The Bumblezone: Productive bees and their comb blocks has a chance to spawn in The Bumblezone dimension.
The One Probe: Displays extra information for nests and hives
JEI: Absolutely need to look up breeding recipes and bee requirements
Resourceful Bees: Inter-mod compatibility for version 1.6.3+
Special thanks to Bagel, author of Buzzier Bees, for permission to reuse beehive textures for advanced versions of the beehives introduced in BB.
I enjoy this mod very much! There are a few things I would like to suggest:
Add a Nether Star bee. For this, I would suggest a Netherite + Draconic, Withered + Draconic, or Netherite + Withered. I feel it would make more sense to use the Draconic bee for this breeding due to beating the End first.
Botania: I would suggest using blocks instead of ingots for the bee upgrades. I feel like it would make more sense. Also, Alfsteel is a new added ingot! Alfsteel bee!
Also, the Discord link is invalid?
In reply to itismetime123:
Thanks for the suggestions!
The discord link should work, but I've put a new one just to be sure.
I dont know why this is happening, idk if this is a bug from the mod or just the forge or minecraft itself, but im having unstackable items that should stack with eachother but they dont. it happens after the bees stop working at the hive, and let the combs, but the combs that should be stacked in one... Arent for some reason, they are separated in two stacks, and this isnt just happening with those items, it happened with others too, i removed every single mod besides jei, and this is still happening for some reason.
If this isnt a bug from your mod idk what to do anymore >-<
In reply to tiagosncruz12:
I saw the issue today, It will be fixed in the next version. If you drop the items on the ground they will stack.
In reply to LobsterJonn:
Dope, tks. Another question, Mushroom bees can be a thing or you dont have plans to for it?
In reply to tiagosncruz12:
They will be, just waiting for my artist to have time to make models and textures for them.
please can you port to 1.12.2
In reply to the_stable_glitchheart:
That would not be a port, it's a downgrade. And no, this mod builds on content added in 1.15, no point in downgrading.
Could we see some "Cosmic Bees" that produce "Cosmic Dust" when Productive Bees is installed alongside the "Pokecube AIO" mod?
Or perhaps some "Meteor Bees" that just produce ore(s) found in any "Meteor(s)" added by other mods in general? Maybe that suggestion is a bit much considering how rare it is for any mod outside of pokecube so far to actually add meteor strikes in minecraft 1.16.5 but i figured i'd put the idea out there to see if it was worth considering!
In reply to White_Blaze:
I can add them, no problem. You should already find bees for Ruby and Sapphire, but I will make some for Cosmic Dust and Spectrum as well. I haven't tried the mod, what would you say the relative rarity of the two resources are?
In reply to LobsterJonn:
From what I'm told, spectrum is rarer then iron, but more common then diamonds - so about the same rate as Gold or redstone ore presumably - but is only ever found in ultraspace dimensions underground.
and apparently cosmic ore is as common as coal or iron when mining in ultraspace dimensions. But If I had to guess, its about as rare as finding emerald ore in extreme hills biomes for its overworld appearances, and that's just based off my opinion with how little of luck i've had finding a meteor strike to begin with.
In reply to White_Blaze:
I put them in, let me know how they fit.
could you do 1.12.2?
hey did you add one of my ideas into the mod?
In reply to arandomguyoncurseforge:
I don't know. I keep a list of all suggestions for when the time is right.
also does the bee's despawn or always come back to the hive? as i want an open bee so they can fly around my house.
In reply to KirishTouka:
Bees do not despawn but they gladly fly away so keep them in a closed off area.
how do i power the bee incubator, i tried using energy from solar panels but does nothing even tho the solar has 100% light level
In reply to KirishTouka:
I don't know what solar panel you have, but anything generating FE/RF will work. The mod includes a honey generator you can use.
In reply to LobsterJonn:
i am using solar flux reborn, i have the latest version installed also and just nothing, also i keep getting lag whenever i make an area for the bees as i had about 10 in a 9 by 9, i'm playing single player and i have an i9 with a 2080ti so don't really see it being my end, but i am playing on 1.16.4.
