Better Bees

Better Bees overhauls vanilla bee behavior while keeping the familiar Minecraft experience. Install on BOTH Server and Clients.

✨ Features

• Smarter, more reliable bee AI
• Shared flower searching for better beekeeping performance
• Improved hive navigation and pathfinding
• Up to 20 bees configurable per beehive or bee nest
• Autonomous breeding inside hives
• Up to 10 stored honey configurable
• Incremental harvesting:
  • Bottles consume 1 honey
  • Shears consume 1 honey and drop 1–3 honeycomb
• Exact honey and bee counts with optional Jade integration
• Existing worlds and vanilla hives are supported

⚙️ Configurable

Hive capacity, honey capacity, breeding, harvesting, flower scanning, and several AI settings can be adjusted through the server configuration.

💾 World Safety

Existing beehives and bee nests are upgraded in place. Better Bees does not replace them with custom blocks, and stored bees or excess honey are not deleted when configuration limits are lowered.

Yes, you can use this in your modpack.
