Quick answer
Which Not The Bees release should I use?
Latest stable file Not The Bees 2.3.0
Game version 1.12.2
Loader Not required
Not The Bees 2.3.0 is a complete pack release for 1.12.2. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. Could not safely read this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Not The Bees for players and a server?
Use Not The Bees 2.3.0 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.
Client instance Install Not The Bees 2.3.0
Dedicated server setup Match Not The Bees 2.3.0
Pack loader No loader listed
A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.
What are the server requirements for Not The Bees?
Not The Bees 2.3.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Not The Bees 2.3.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.12.2. We could not safely count the mods in this release. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.
About this project
What kind of pack is Not The Bees?
Not the bees is a skyblock/overworld quest pack. With custom island generation or custom hexlands world options and quests you will be guided through bee breeding and learn all the finer details of mods like forestry, gendustry, binnie's and career bees. Unlike most skyblock packs there is no ex nihilo or similar mods. Even in the overworld mode you will find no ores. Instead you will have to breed bees in order to produce basic resources and your first stages of automation will also require career bees.
With many different mods there is plenty for even the experienced player to do. There is a bee store included in the quest book where you can trade honey and other bee related items to obtain special rewards and an "Easy mode" option intended for newer players who just want to learn how bee breeding works.
As of version 2.0 Not The Bees also integrates magic mods such as botania, thaumcraft, blood magic and astral sorcery. These mods round out the offerings and give you many options to progress late game. There is also quest lines to introduce you to each of these mods.
Can you breed your way to victory and unlock the power of ProjectE?
Or will you succumb and say "Not the Bees!"
