BeeHUD
Looking at a beehive or bee nest with BeeHUD open shows a small readout in the top-left corner with the honey level and the number of sheltering bees.
What it does
When the crosshair points at a hive, whether crafted or found in the world, a small HUD appears in the top-left of the screen. It shows the honey level as an exact fill from 0 to 5, notes when the hive is ready to harvest at level 5, and counts the bees sheltering inside against the hive capacity of 3. Bottling honey or shearing honeycomb is not part of the readout; the HUD only reports state.
BeeHUD is a clean information layer for beekeepers who want to check a hive without opening it. A toggle turns the readout on or off, and an action-bar message confirms the new state each time. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, published 2026-06-11.
Key features
Honey level readout
The honey level appears as an exact fill from 0 to 5, so a hive's progress is visible at a glance.
Harvest-ready note
At level 5 the HUD notes that the hive is ready, which signals when to shear for honeycomb or bottle honey.
Bee count
The readout counts the bees sheltering inside a hive and shows the number against its capacity of 3.
Toggle and confirmation
A key toggles the readout on or off, and an action-bar message confirms the change.
Crosshair targeting
The readout follows whatever beehive or bee nest the crosshair is pointing at, whether crafted or naturally generated.
