More Beehive Variants
More Beehive Variants gives beehives in the wood types of other variant mods, so bees can nest in more kinds of wood.
What it does
Vanilla beehives are made from one recipe, and that recipe overrides the crafting variants that other mods add for each wood type. Because of this conflict, a beehive from a wood-variant mod can fail to craft as expected. The mod adds beehive blocks in additional wood styles, and bees use them like the standard hive, filling them with honey as usual.
The mod is meant to work alongside other More X Variants mods. Compatibility add-ons, such as More Compatibility Variants, are referenced by the author as the way to resolve the crafting overlap across those packs, including recipes that craft beehives from other vanilla items. Players who want a broader set of variant recipes can install the add-on alongside this mod.
This is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 26.2, with 20 release versions and files published for 26.2 most recently, dated 2026-06-25. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is available publicly and the mod is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so it is not open source.

What the author says
Bees enjoying their variety of Beehive blocks. Unfortunately, the vanilla Beehive crafting recipe has to be overridden for the crafting of the variants to function.
