Variant Beehives
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Welcome to the world of bees, where buzzing gardens meet whimsical woodlands! Variant Beehives is a charming mod that sprinkles a touch of magic into the lives of Minecraft's pollinators. Immerse yourself in the sweetness of beekeeping with our delightful addition of beehive blocks, each inspired by the diverse wood types found in the game.
Variant Beehives adds a new Beehive for each vanilla Plank type.
- Fabric load conditions have been used to ensure your console is not full of errors when compatible mods are not installed.
- Un-crafting for all variants back to vanilla has been included in case of any issues.
- Vanilla beehive renamed to Oak and recoloured slightly to better fit the Oak wood type.
- All added beehives work with the vanilla bees/honey.
