Pollinators' Paradise

Adds equipment and mechanics that expand the progression and rewards of beekeeping. --- This description describes, in detail, what each item does - if you'd prefer to find out yourself using EMI and the hints provided in-game, feel free to skip or skim it! A pure-gameplay, 7-minute [video demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZtLSltqMKg) is also available if preferred. ---  **Chorus Honey** _A strange nectar brewed from honey with the forbidden chorus fruit of The End_. Teleports the player upwards through nearby ceilings. Great for caving!  **Chorus Honey Blocks** Retains the strange properties of chorus honey in a crystallised form, causing entities to slide upward into the air. ### Apiarist's Set *Beekeeping attire for the aspiring adventure-apiarist.* *These articles sport little in the way of protection, but are unbreakable.* Mostly made from _waxed wool_, a composite wool loosened with honey. When drizzled with a bit of honey from a bottle, it can be drained to perform **special abilities**. A water bottle can wash out the honey for reuse.  **Apiarist's Veil** *Honey | **Bee Calm***: Calms bees targeting the wearer. *Chorus | **Bee Allies***: Angers bees towards hostiles targeting you. *Bees will only be angered if it's safe for them to attack - see below!*  **Apiarist's Suit** *Honey | **Sticky Thorns***: Immobilizes attackers in honey. *Chorus | **Chorus Dodge***: Half of all projectiles simply miss.  **Apiarist's Leggings** *Honey | **Honey Climber***: Allows bounding up honey blocks, and being tossed away from chorus honey blocks. *Chorus | **Pollen Pants***: Allows pollinating crops - just like bees do!  **Apiarist's Wellies** *Milled from waxed copper, with honeycomb block soles.* *Empty | **Slippery When Dry***: The waxed soles cause slipping and sliding on all surfaces. *Honey | **Honey Block Crystallise***: Resist knocks and attacks by sneaking to crystallise against below honey blocks. Or build elastic energy from chorus honey blocks! *Chorus | **Faithwalking***: Slide far past the edge of cliffs, but don't look down!  **Apiarist's Shears** *Psst, are you with the bee union?* This hardy set of shears made from waxed copper blocks is familiar to bees, and **won't anger them.** *Honey | **Nest Harvesters***: Wild pollinators dwelling in nests provide you extra combs each harvest. *Chorus | **Nest Scavengers***: Scavenger drones operating from nests share local resources each harvest.  **Honeyed Wand** Instilled with pollen magic, this tool can't be honeyed itself, but drains honey drizzled on clothes and the off-hand. *Draining Honey*: Inflicts **magical honey damage** to hurt mobs and heal bees! *Draining Chorus*: Harnesses the strange power of chorus honey to **fling enemies** to the ground, dealing fall damage! ## Mechanics   **Beecons** Beacons with a honey block staining their beam become *beecons*, which affect both players and bees. **Bees are also now affected by more status effects!** *Haste*: Bees process honey in hives faster. *Strength*: Bees inflict Poison II, or Wither II at level II. *Resistance/Regeneration*: In addition to the base effects, bees will only take minor damage regrowing their stingers. *Speed*: Bees fly more erratically, and debatably faster. If you're extra worried about bee welfare, [feed the bees](https://modrinth.com/mod/feed-the-bees) allows bees to always regrow their stingers for minor damage, and adds direct healing via sugar. Beacon bases can also be made from copper blocks and waxed copper blocks - so get pollinating! --- ### Afterword A very special thank you to [@sisby-folk](https://modrinth.com/user/sisby-folk) who helped out a lot with teaching me to make minecraft mods.
