Bzzz.. Bzz.. 🐝

A spectacular stinger combined with a stockier body makes these insects something to behold... but you should probably keep your distance!

This mod transforms the basic bees into a livelier and more visually appealing version.

It does not change the yellow cube models around natural hives and skeps. Only "swarming" bees.

 

Planned:

- Replacing the cube particles that spawn around skeps with actual entities and maybe even adding AI tasks to them like flying to flowers near the hive and returning to the skep(if I can learn how to code 😅).

Brun OMG DUDE !! If you manage to make the new 1.20 insects look "real" like your bees that would be BEAUTIFUL because that my dream for this game lol !

I had completely forgotten they even existed since I took a long break from the game. Thanks for the idea! If I ever figure out the coding part of mod making I'll be sure to add it, maybe even a config to toggle them too.

💬 GodzillaFan_13, May 8th at 10:31 PM

have you tought of expanding this to also include things like the newer grasshoppers and water skaters?

I believe the only way for me to do that is if I set the mod to be both "client" and "sever" which wouldn't make much sense for a theme pack that should only be used by the client. I can however make the change you're requesting and send that file over discord. My discord name is "brun1621".

💬 Vari_Ares, May 5th at 6:38 PM

OMG TY SO MUCH !! <3

💬 WickedSchnitzel, May 4th at 9:37 PM

Could you change the modinfo.json so, that this will auto-download when connecting to a server?

💬 Brun , May 4th at 3:24 PM

Vari_Ares
I've updated the mod for the newest versions!

💬 Vari_Ares, Apr 22nd at 9:13 AM

Ah... this mod is sadly discontinued... 😅😭

💬 Ijkdenem, Jan 19th at 12:38 AM

oh darn. i was hoping it changed all bees. it would have made the hives a crapton easier to spot.

💬 Vari_Ares, Nov 5th 2024 at 12:28 AM

Hi ! The mod will be updated for 1.20 ? Pleaseeee ! :c <3

💬 BraniyaKz, Dec 9th 2023 at 10:48 AM

@Brun - does this mod work if changed to client-sided?

💬 DanaCraluminum, Sep 2nd 2023 at 3:22 PM

Mod is not client side, modinfo doesn't have any `side: "Client" text

Thank you!

I changed the description to better reflect what the mod actually does. For now the wild hive and skeps will still retain their yellow cubes but in the future I may add an option for the bee models to replace them.

I don't know about that lol but thank you!

I was perplexed as well. When I discovered them I just assumed they were already being used for the "swarming" bees since I have never actually encountered them. Maybe in a futre update there will be a more unique way to delevop your apiculture.

I have thought about this and tried looking for where the "bees" are coming from. I believe they are particles being made somewhere in the code for the hive/skep. I have yet to dive into coding with this game but if I ever figure it out I will surely add an option for that! Thank you for the suggestion!

*It does not change the yellow cube models in natural hives and skeps. Only "swarming" bees.*
I would love to se it change though, it would add such realism when doing appiculture and seeing them fly around their skep :D
Maybe add a config file to enabble or disable this option. I love the mod by the way! 

💬 RealNerdguin, Aug 28th 2023 at 1:43 PM

Nicely done I look forward to more mods from you!

💬 IKira, Aug 28th 2023 at 9:58 AM

Congrats, you did better than Minecraft and a entire multi-billionaire company could ever dream to do!

💬 Scarady, Aug 28th 2023 at 9:21 AM

i love them! i don't know about others but i usually use the yellow boxes to give me a hint of where the hive is

💬 znatik, Aug 28th 2023 at 8:34 AM

Very, very like it. Certainly better than flying cubes.

💬 Rythillian, Aug 28th 2023 at 3:31 AM

I always thought it was odd that hose bee models have been in the game for awhile now and yet never actually used, I assume it was gonna be for an actual entity like the butterflies
