Bee Mastery

 Master the art of beekeeping. Bee Mastery is a big expansion for **Forestry: Community Edition** — 11 new bees, living auras, top-tier tools and frames, and a **hive you wear on your back** that keeps working wherever you go. It's the spiritual successor to the beloved **ForestryExtras**, rebuilt from scratch for modern Minecraft, with an in-game guide book in 10 languages so you're never lost.  A Bee House you wear in the chestplate slot. Put in a queen (or a princess and a drone), and the bees keep working **wherever you walk** — biome, weather, light and flowers all come from where you're standing. It runs Forestry's own beekeeping logic, so breeding, ageing and production work exactly as in a normal hive. \- 🌼 **Flower slot** — carry a flower your bees like and they stop needing flowers around you. The empty slot shows which one the current bee wants. \- 🎒 **A real 3D hive on your back** — bottom board, landing board, brood box, honey super and roof — with bees buzzing out of it while it works. Other players see them too. \- 🛡️ **Built-in armour** — craft the hive together with any chestplate to get its protection. If the chestplate breaks, the hive and its bees stay. \- 📊 **Always know what your bees are doing** — a small panel on screen shows the queen, her remaining life and the hive status, and the hive window tells you exactly why the bees stopped (too hot, raining, no flowers…). \- 🐝 **Your own hive never stings you** — aggressive or radioactive bees on your back won't hurt their owner. Other hives still will. \- ⌨️ Press **B** to open the hive on your back (rebindable).   Upgrade the hive with the mod's metals — **Reinforced -> Draconic -> Legendary**. Every tier adds speed and a module slot, and everything inside the hive is kept. Each tier looks the part, in your inventory and on your back. Modules plug into a side panel of the hive window and switch on Forestry's own mechanics — the same ones its big machinery uses:  The **Lantern** even lights up the area around you and hangs a glowing lantern on the hive's roof. One module of each kind per hive; the Mutagen and the Gene Stabilizer don't mix.  | Tier | Bees | |---|---| | 🥕 Agricultural | Potato, Carrot | | 🐄 Livestock | Pig, Cow, Sheep | | 🧱 Resource | Clayious | | ⚙️ Advanced | Reinforced, Mutated | | 👑 Elite | Witheria, Draconic, Legendary | The elite line is a **breeding tandem**: every bee mutates from the ones before it, all the way up to Legendary. **Five living auras** pulse from the hives of their bees while they work: \- 🔥 **Draconic** — damages nearby hostiles and grants Strength \- 💙 **Legendary** — Regeneration and Absorption for nearby players \- 💀 **Withering** (Witheria) — withers nearby hostiles \- 🧪 **Mutagenic** (Mutated) — a random buff every pulse \- 🌾 **Harvest** (Carrot) — fertilizes nearby crops like bone meal Bottle an aura 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 — they amplify each other.  \- **Nets (Scoops)** — catch vanilla bees and turn them into Forestry drones. Reinforced, Draconic and Legendary tiers, 300 to 10,000 durability. \- **Grafters** — 3× to 10× sapling drops, forged from their tier's ingot. \- **19 Bee Frames** — from Coal up to a tandem chain where every top frame is built from the frames below it, ending in the Legendary Frame (5× production) and the Frame of Mutation (10× mutation chance). \- **Five material lines** — Draconic, Legendary, Reinforced, Witheria and Mutated Iron, each with combs, nuggets, ingots, storage blocks and propolis.   A Patchouli guide book (Book + Reinforced Propolis) covers the breeding order, what each aura does, frame progression, tools and the Portable Hive. It opens in your game language: **English, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, Dutch, Polish and Chinese** (Simplified, Taiwan, Hong Kong). **JEI integration:** bee breeding, frame and hive recipes, and a page for every aura show up automatically. **For modpack makers:** a server config sets the hive speed per tier, module strengths, the lantern's light and more; clients can hide or move the hive panel.  | | Minecraft 1.20.1 | Minecraft 1.21.1 | |---|---|---| | Loader | Forge 47.3.5+ | NeoForge 21.1.251+ | | Forestry: Community Edition | 2.5.0+ | 3.0.0-alpha6+ | | Patchouli | required | required (by Forestry) | | JEI | optional | optional | The 1.21.1 version is marked **beta** while Forestry itself is in alpha on 1.21.1. \--- **Credits:** original **ForestryExtras** by wasliebob.
