Resourceful Bees

Pack developers can create a near unlimited number of bee types through configuration. For each bee they choose which item it breeds with, which flower it collects pollen from, and what resources its pollen and hives produce. Pollen gathered from flowers is turned into honeycombs, and those combs can then be put through a centrifuge or used in crafting recipes. Resources can also be generated through mutations, where a set block, fluid or entity mutates into another block.

The mod is meant for packs that need many bee species without a large number of separate blocks and mods. Instead of mass-producing bees, players upgrade hives to a higher tier of apiary. Output amounts can be tuned so the mod competes with other resource mods without causing much lag. A config option named Set Generate Default Bees, when set to false, overrides the default bees. Resourceful Bees runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5, 1.19.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It requires Geckolib, Resourceful Config and Resourceful Lib.
