BeeRider — Ride bees, master the skies, and become a legend of the hive.

A lightweight Spigot/Paper plugin that turns Minecraft bees into rideable mounts with a full progression system, GUI management, and flight mechanics. What is BeeRider?

BeeRider lets players mount and steer bees using look-to-fly controls. Open a Bee Panel on right-click to inspect, heal, poison, harvest nectar, or saddle up. Gain XP, level up, and unlock perks as you ride.

Features

- Ride any bee — Look where you want to fly. The bee follows your gaze.

- Bee Panel GUI — 9-slot inventory to inspect stats, heal, poison, harvest nectar, toggle awareness, or mount.

- XP & Leveling — Earn XP by feeding flowers, healing bees, and flying. Levels unlock titles and perks.

- Flight Experience Tracking — Total ride time, number of rides, bees healed, and bees removed are all persisted per-player.

- Bee Panel Lore — Fully configurable item lore with placeholders like {health}, {nectar}, {anger}, etc.

- Player Profile GUI — /beerider opens a 5-slot hopper showing your stats, XP bar, and title.

- BeeRider's Bible — In-game written book with all instructions (/beerider help).

- Auto-save — Profiles saved to YAML on change and on shutdown.

- Fully configurable — Messages, sounds, XP values, level requirements, flower types, and flight physics via config.yml.

Commands

- /beerider :: Opens your rider profile GUI.

- /beerider help :: Opens the BeeRider's Bible (written book).

Permissions

- beerider.use :: false by default

Note: Server owners must explicitly grant this permission. It is not given by default.

How to Use

  • Find a bee in the wild.
  • Right-click the bee to open the Bee Panel.
  • Use the panel to inspect stats, heal, harvest nectar, toggle awareness, or click the saddle to mount.
  • Look around while riding — the bee flies where you look.
  • Shift to dismount. Your flight time and XP are saved automatically.
  • Type /beerider anytime to view your profile and level progress.

Level Progression

Levels require XP, total rides, and flight minutes together.

Bee Rider Perks

All gates are configurable in config.yml. Configuration Highlights

Everything lives in config.yml:

  • mechanics.flight.speed — How fast the bee flies.
  • mechanics.flight.y-bias — Gentle upward lift while looking forward.
  • mechanics.xp.on-flower / on-heal / on-poison — XP tuning.
  • progression.levels — Full level requirement table (XP, rides, minutes).
  • progression.broadcast — Broadcast level-ups server-wide or keep private.
  • gui.inventory-title / gui.lore.* / gui.slots.* — Customize the Bee Panel appearance and lore.
  • sounds.* — Per-action sound effects with volume, pitch, and target (player/bee/both).

Installation

  • Drop BeeRider-1.0.jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
  • Start the server once to generate config.yml and riders.yml.
  • Edit config.yml to taste and /reload or restart.
