Master the art of beekeeping with Bee Mastery, a comprehensive expansion for Forestry: Community Edition!
What is Bee Mastery? Bee Mastery is the spiritual successor to the beloved ForestryExtras mod, completely rebuilt for Minecraft 1.20.1+ while preserving the original vision. This mod adds 11 unique bee species, a living aura system, advanced equipment, and a complete progression system from basic apiculture to legendary mastery — plus an in-game guide book so you're never lost.
Key Features:
- 🐝 11 Unique Bee Species - Agricultural, Livestock, Advanced, and Elite tiers
- ✨ 5 Living Auras - Draconic, Legendary, Withering, Mutagenic, and Harvest auras pulse from your hives or ride along in an Aura Charm
- 🔗 Aura Belt & Hive Synergy - carry two auras at once, and cluster same-aura hives together to amplify their reach
- 🔧 Legendary Tools - Nets (Scoops) and Grafters with enhanced durability and abilities, in Reinforced/Draconic/Legendary tiers
- 🖼️ 19 Bee Frames - from basic Coal all the way to a tandem chain ending in the Legendary Frame, forged from its own predecessors and a Nether Star
- 💎 Complete Material Lines - Draconic, Legendary, Reinforced, Witheria, and Mutated Iron, each with combs, nuggets, ingots, storage blocks, and propolis
- 📖 In-Game Guide Book - a Patchouli book covering the breeding tandem, the aura system, and frame progression
- 🔍 JEI Integration - breeding recipes, frame recipes, and aura info all show up automatically
- 🎨 Freshly Illustrated - hand-drawn item art across propolis, tools, ingots, nuggets, and storage blocks
Bee Species:
- Agricultural: Potato, Carrot (produce crops)
- Livestock: Pig, Cow, Sheep (produce animal products)
- Resource: Clayious (produces clay)
- Advanced: Reinforced, Mutated (enhanced materials)
- Elite: Witheria, Draconic, Legendary (ultimate tier, each carrying its own aura)
The Aura System: Draconic, Legendary, Witheria, Mutated, and Carrot bees each carry a living aura that pulses from their hive while they work — damaging hostiles, healing allies, withering enemies, handing out random buffs, or fertilizing crops. Bottle one into an Aura Charm to carry it with you, socket up to two charms into an Aura Belt, and cluster hives of the same aura together to make them stronger as a group.
Advanced Equipment:
- Nets (Scoops): catch vanilla bees, break hives faster, 300-10,000 durability
- Grafters: 3x-10x sapling drop rates, long-lasting
- Frames: up to 10x mutation chance and 5x production boost, with the top tiers built from the frames below them
