Create: Buzzy Bees

by StaticFX

Create: Buzzy Bees adds bees that move items and build schematics for players using the Create mod on Forge and NeoForge.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Bees are the main workers of the mod. A Mechanical Beehive houses them, and a Portable Beehive lets a player carry them along. Mechanical Bees and Mechanical Bumble Bees fetch materials from storage linked through Logistics Ports, and Bumble Bees shuttle items between Cargo Ports on routes set by configurable settings.

Schematics can be placed in the world with the help of these bees, so a build is assembled from items gathered out of attached inventories. A construction planner and a schematic manager keep the active builds visible, which suits large projects that draw on several storage points. Create, Geckolib and Kotlin for Forge are required, and Curios API and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional. Both sides must run the mod, since it is client and server. Buzzy Bees is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.

Use cases

Automated large builds

Players who place big schematics can let bees collect items from several inventories instead of carrying them by hand.

Remote storage supply

Logistics Ports and Cargo Ports let items move between storage areas across a base.

Who it’s for: Players who already use Create and want bees to handle item logistics and schematic building. Server owners can add it to a Create modpack, provided Geckolib and Kotlin for Forge are installed alongside it.
