Realistic Bees is a mod which attempts to make bee behaviour more realistic without adding new items or objects to the game. Bees are 25% of their normal size. To make bees a little less uncommon, the mod also adds a config value (by default 4) which defines the extra amount of bees that spawn after each natural bee spawn. The bee hive can also hold more bees than Minecraft's default, changed from 3 to 20.
All available config options:
beeSizeModifier default 0.25, min 0.01, max 5.0
This value determines the size of a bee. By default 0.25, which means they are 1/4th of their vanilla size. Set to 1.0 to disable the different bee size feature.
extraBeeSpawnsPerBee default 9, min 0, max 50
In order to make bees a little more common. Whenever a bee naturally spawns, the mod spawns an additional 'extraBeeSpawnsPerBee' bees.
beeHiveBeeSpace default 20, min 0, max 50
How many bees should be able to enter the hive in total. Minecraft's default is 3, but bees are a lot smaller so there should be more space.
preventBeeSuffocationDamage default true
