Bee Buddies

Tameable bees and pride bees!

This mod adds the ability to make friends with the Minecraft Bee. Simply offer one some sugar water to get it to become friends with you! They'll follow you around (though will head back to their hive at request) or just wander in your vicinity. If they find any flowers, they'll feed you some honey! Sometimes, you can even find them taking naps on your head.

Offer them more honey to heal them, or a special drop of nectar to make them a pride bee! Currently, the available pride bees are: asexual, agender, aromantic, bisexual, demiboy, demigirl, gay, genderfluid, genderqueer, lesbian, nonbinary, omni, pan, poly, trans, vincian, and xenogender.

If you have a pride bee texture you'd like included in the mod, feel free to send it or contribute it!

Compatability

Minecraft 1.18+: No known issues!
Minecraft 1.16 and 1.17: Incompatable with the Lithium tweak mixin.ai.nearby_entity_tracking. Disable it in the lithium.properties config file by adding the line mixin.ai.nearby_entity_tracking=false to the end.

Special Thanks

Thanks to LemmaEOF and reverie for the pride bee and nectar textures, models, and recipes! And thanks to byquanton for the 1.18.2 update!
