Bees - cadaverous-eris/Rustic GitHub Wiki
Bees can be found in beehives throughout the world, and can be used to produce honeycomb. Honeycomb can be smelted into beeswax, used in alchemy to make Elixers of Regeneration, or crushed into honey, which can be drank or brewed into mead.
Beehives
Beehives generate under leaves in the overworld. When broken, they drop 0-4 honeycomb and 1-2 bees. Their frequency can be changed in the mod's config file.
Apiaries
Apiaries are wooden constructions that house bees. Their inventories have two slots; one for bees, and another for honeycomb.
When one or more bees are placed in the top slot of the apiary, the bees will do three things:
- Reproduce
- Produce honeycomb
- Speed up nearby crop growth
By default, bees reproduce at half the rate at which they produce honeycomb, and the rate at which they do both of those things depends on the number of bees in the apiary. More bees means faster bee reproduction and faster honeycomb production.
The crop growth boost's effect is also reliant on the number of bees in the apiary. The range of the effect is four blocks
in each direction horizontally, as well as 1 block in each direction vertically.
The rates at which bees reproduce, produce honeycomb, and boost crop growth can all be changed separately in the mod's config file.
