🐝 Resource Bees

Tired of endless grinding in dark mines? It's time to delegate that job to the professionals! Resource Bees is a lightweight and balanced mod that introduces unique resource-producing bees to your Minecraft world. Say goodbye to tedious grinding, automate your material gathering, and build your very own buzzing factory!

✨ Key Features

9 Unique Bees: From basic Coal to endgame Netherite, collect bees that passively generate valuable resources over time.
The Resource Hive: A heavy-duty, iron-reinforced hive designed specifically for your hardworking bees. It safely stores all generated loot and supports full automation (connect hoppers or pipes directly to it!).
Bee Jars: Catch wild bees using Empty Bee Jars, transport them safely in your inventory, and release them wherever you need.
Endgame Crafting: Craft high-tier bees (like the Netherite Bee) in the late game for ultimate automation.

📖 Mini-Guide: How It Works

Catch a Bee: Craft an Empty Bee Jar, find a resource bee spawning naturally in its specific biome, and right-click it with the jar to capture it.
Set Up the Hive: Place your Resource Hive at your base and insert your filled Bee Jars into the top input slots.
The Ore Requirement: For a bee to work, the matching ore block must be placed nearby! The ore block (normal or Deepslate) must be located within 6 blocks horizontally and between -1 to 5 blocks vertically from the hive. Example: To produce Iron Ingots, place an Iron Ore block near the hive.
Automation: Collect the loot manually, or place a hopper underneath the hive for 100% automated extraction!
