Parasitic Bees
by ModdedWolf
Parasitic Bees adds hostile infected bees to three Overworld biomes, along with blightiron tools and armor and the items needed to handle the swarms.
What it does
Infected bees spawn in three Overworld biomes and attack players, villagers and animals. Their wild nests guard the area around them, and breaking a nest without Silk Touch releases angry bees. Each of the four strains is a variant of one entity type, and a bee variant spreads like a virus to nearby bees. Hits from a parasitic bee are harder on the easier difficulty settings, so the fight scales with the chosen difficulty.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and Forge Config API Port. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, and the latest Fabric build is 1.0.1 for 26.2, while the latest Forge build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11. Game versions covered are 1.21.10 – 26.2, and the code is released under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Bee-repellent candles
Candles fueled with infected honeycomb give off a light that keeps infected bees away, and a sleeping player can rest in infected biomes without masking.
Blightiron tools and armor
Blightiron is an iron-tier metal, mined from infected woods and smelted or crafted like iron, and its tools work like gold-tier tools with iron durability.
Curing trim
Smithing other armor with raw blightiron applies a blightiron-colored curing trim, and a cured blightiron piece can be switched to a sealed black look with black dye.
Hive sensor and containment
A hive sensor sends a redstone signal from 0 to 15 based on the honey bees in the hive in front of it, and a splash hive containment potion pacifies a nest for farming.
