Mystian Apiary
by XeramGaming
Mystian Apiary is a multiblock apiary for Productive Bees, built as a 3x3x3 structure with upgrades that raise honey output.
What it does
A 3x3x3 structure forms the apiary: an outer shell surrounds a central core, and the core block can be changed through block tags. Upgrades stack inside the structure, and their effects show on a controller screen that reports the apiary's status, module counts and active upgrade effects, so the state of the machine can be read without guessing. A Patchouli-based guidebook included with the mod covers building the structure, the upgrades and recommended setups, and it can be opened in game.
The mod is meant for players who want to maximize honey resource output from Productive Bees. With 27 bee slots available, a player can fill the apiary with one bee type to maximize efforts, or mix up to 27 different bees. The simulation built into the apiary lets upgrades raise productivity without adding the tick load that roaming bees cause. Mystian Apiary requires Productive Bees, and the apiary is published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under All rights reserved; it is not open source.
