Reforested

The mod reimagines the bee and tree systems in its own code, as a love letter to the original. Bees make combs, and some combs yield items that open new paths. Players find new bee species and hives, and breeding can mutate them. Starting from a few tree types, breeding produces more trees, and saplings placed next to one another can yield different planks and wood products. Tree Canes grow on some trees and serve as a farm element.

Peat is the other chain: a Block O Bog eventually turns into peat, and peat can fuel an engine that generates power. Two backpacks help with collecting. The Digger's Backpack picks up loot from mining so it does not clog the inventory, and the Botanist's Backpack collects seeds and flowers. Both deposit their contents when the player shift-uses them. A chest with multiple tabs and a search bar sits alongside the tools.

Reforested is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, across 1.21 and 1.21.1. It needs both the server and players, since the environment is client and server. The author notes that the mod was written from scratch and takes its inspiration from similar automation and factory mods.
