Better Beekeeping

A mod to add some small tweaks to improve the beekeeping experience, including non-damaging hive smoking and a variety of hives based on materials.

Currently Supported: 1.18.2, 1.19.2+

NOTE: This repo is a mirror, not active development.

Features

A new "Bee Smoker" block. Place it under your hive to smoke it like you would a campfire - but without the open flames! Additionally, turn the smoke on or off simply by interacting with the block.
A full complement of hives for all the vanilla wood planks!
An alternate recipe for crafting a lead using honey instead of slime, for more peaceful farming play-styles.
Multiple flavors of honey, each with an extra bit of restorative power!
Hibernating bees, for that extra bit of realism when playing with seasons and weather mods.

Mods can add their flowers to the BBK custom flower tags to allow them to produce flavored honey.
- The tag format is betterbeekeeping:spicy_flower (replace spicy with whichever of the honey flavors you wish)
- It does NOT currently support multiple tags per flower and I don't have plans for changing that.
Vanilla hives can be converted to BBK hives by placing four planks of the same wood around a vanilla hive.
Bee hibernation is OFF by default. If you have a seasons mod, turn it on for extra wintry fun!
