Items and machines

Every item, block and machine in Complicated Bees Unofficial, with how to get it. Ids are complicated_bees:<name>. JEI shows every recipe, mutation and centrifuge output in game.

Bees and nests

Wild Bee Nests generate in the world, each with its own species inside. Break one with a Scoop to get its princess out safely.

Nest	Where it generates
Forest	forest, birch forest, old growth birch forest
Plains	plains, meadow
Desert	desert and every badlands
Jungle	jungle, sparse jungle, bamboo jungle
Rocky	lush caves
Crimson	crimson forest
Warped	warped forest
Ender	end highlands

With Biomes O' Plenty, Terralith or Oh The Biomes We've Gone installed, nests also generate in their biomes.

A bee is a Princess, a Drone or a Queen. Put a princess and a drone in an Apiary and she becomes a queen carrying both parents' genes. While she lives she makes combs; when she dies she leaves a new princess and drones, some of them a new species if the parents can mutate. Mutations can need a block under the housing, a biome, rain or night. The Apid Library lists what each species can turn into.

Frames

Frames go in an Apiary or a Mellarium Frame Housing and wear out as the bees work. Numbers multiply the bee's own: productivity is how fast it makes combs, lifespan how long the queen lives, mutation how likely her offspring mutate. A temperature or humidity step moves the housing one step warmer, colder, wetter or drier. Each frame can be switched off in the config.
