Complicated Bees Unofficial¶
Bee breeding in the style of the old Forestry bees. Catch a princess from a wild nest with a Scoop, pair her with a drone in an Apiary, and the queen you get carries both parents' genes. Breed the right pairs and new species turn up: 59 species and 23 kinds of comb, each bee with genes for lifespan, speed, fertility, temperature, humidity, flowers, territory and more. A bee that wants hot, dry air sulks in a jungle, a night bee sleeps through the day, and some mutations only happen over a certain block, in one biome or in the rain.
This is an unofficial port of Complicated Bees by ACCBDD to Minecraft 26.1.2 and 26.2 on NeoForge. It is not made or supported by ACCBDD, so report problems with the port to the port's repository, not to them. The original's ids, recipes and bees are all kept, so packs and scripts written for it still line up. The bee and comb item art is new, drawn for this port.
Requires nothing but NeoForge. Optional: JEI (mutation and centrifuge recipes) and Jade (a housing's state on the block).
Versions: NeoForge for Minecraft 26.1.2 and 26.2, both at 3.6.2-port.5. On CurseForge. The original's EMI plugin is kept in the source but left out of this build, because EMI has no 26.x release yet.

For pack makers¶
Species, combs and flowers are datapack files under data/<namespace>/complicated_bees/species, comb and flower;
mutations and centrifuge outputs are recipes (recipe/mutation/..., recipe/centrifuge/...). The formats are the
original mod's and are explained on its GitHub wiki. Ids are
complicated_bees:<name>. Biomes O' Plenty nest spawns that pointed at BoP biomes which no longer exist were removed.
