Apiary
Apiary is a small quality-of-life mod that makes harvesting honeycombs from bee nests and beehives less of a hassle.
Right-click a full bee nest or beehive with shears and the honeycombs get pulled straight into your inventory, with a little magnetic particle effect as they go. No more chasing dropped items around on the ground.
Features
- Magnetic honeycomb collection: honeycombs fly into your inventory instead of dropping on the ground
- Double helix particle trails: a spiral golden trail connects the block to you as you harvest
- Night and moon bonuses: harvesting at night gives +1 honeycomb, full moons give double
- Weather bonuses: rain gives +1 honeycomb and calms the bees on its own, no campfire needed (deserts excluded, since it doesn't rain there)
- Snow biome bonus: harvesting during snowfall in snowy biomes gives +1 honeycomb, with snowflake particles
- Flower bonus: keep 3+ flowers within 5 blocks of your hive for +1 honeycomb and heart particles
- Lucky drop: 1% chance of a bonus honey bottle, with a small firework to celebrate
- Thunderstorm effects: electric spark particles during storms
- Campfire and soul campfire support: both calm bees the normal way, with a cozy smoke ring effect
- Dynamic audio: shear sounds get slight pitch variation, and bonus harvests play an XP sound
- Vanilla honey bottles: collection works exactly as it always has
- Vanilla bee behavior preserved: bees still get angry if you harvest without rain or a campfire, same as usual
- Lightweight: no real overhead, no changes to core gameplay
- Multi-version support: works on Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, and 1.21.11 (single JAR), plus 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.1.2 (separate JAR) and 26.2
