About this project

What does Parasitic Bees add?

Parasitic Bees adds hostile infected bees, three infected Overworld biomes, blightiron armor, and brewing recipes for masking, containing, infecting, and luring swarms.

Works on Fabric Coming Soon ---> Forge, and NeoForge

Bees

Four strains, one entity type. They attack players, villagers, and animals, chew their diet blocks, and spread nests.

Strain Nest Where Sting / extras
Moss Moss Bee Nest Overworld Poison. Sometimes leaves hive infection. Eats leaves, dirt, grass, overworld wood.
Crimson Crimson Bee Nest Nether (crimson areas) Wither damage. Can set you on fire(10% Chance). Eats crimson stems / nylium / nether wart.
Warped Warped Bee Nest Nether (warped areas) Wither damage. Can add nausea and weakness(10% Chance). Eats warped stems / nylium / wart. Fights crimson bees.
Void Void Bee Nest End Dragon-breath damage. Teleports. Can levitate you or blink you a few blocks. Eats stone / end stone.

Wild nests guard their area. Splash Hive Containment to pacify them for farming. Breaking a nest without Silk Touch dumps angry bees.

Honey bottles

Honey Effect
Infected Honey Clears poison, then short hunger + pheromone masking
Crimson Honey Fire resistance, then hunger
Warped Honey Speed, then nausea
Void Honey Slow falling + invisibility, then weakness

Any infected honey crafts Infected Sugar (shapeless, 3 sugar).

Biomes

Biome What you’ll find
Infected Grove Edge of the outbreak. Blightiron ore. Pink trees, infected moths, early labs.
Infected Woods Main infected forest. Blightiron ore. Roaming parasitic bees. Infected villages and abandoned apiary cottages. Infected plants hurt you unless you have blightiron / cured blightiron boots.
Infected Core Darker, denser bees and moths. Blightiron ore. Hive Queen dungeon under a sinkhole. A Core Compass points to the nearest core. Craft the compass with Infected Honeycomb to skip to a farther one. /locate biome parasiticbees:infected_core also works.

Structures

Structure Biome / dimension What’s in it
Ruined Apiary House Infected Woods Abandoned cottage, chests, Keeper Maren’s ledger
Infected Village Infected Woods, Infected Core Overrun plains-style village
Overworld Lab Lots of Overworld biomes (including infected ones) Rundown stone-brick field lab
Breakout Lab Underground, anywhere in the Overworld Deep containment site. Containment Notes for the beacon purge
Hive Queen Dungeon Infected Core Honeycomb dungeon + Hive Queen. After the fight: Infected Honeycomb with gold on top, bottom, left, and right → Queen Comb, then smith the Curing Trim
Nether Quarantine Nether Blackstone pen with a crimson or warped nest + strain chests
End Research Annex End highlands / midlands / barrens / small islands End-brick pad with a void nest + strain chests

Armor

Blightiron is iron-tier. Mine it in Infected Woods, smelt it, craft it like iron.

Blightiron tools works like Gold tier but with the durability like Iron.

Blightiron Cured Blightiron
Craft / upgrade Blightiron ingots Smithing: Curing Trim + blightiron piece + Diamond
Per piece −1 heart No health penalty
Full set +20% damage, +10% speed +10% damage, +5% speed
Full set immunity Poison, wither, Infected Venom Same
Boots Walk through infected plants Same
Durability Iron-like A bit higher

Using a Curing Trim on other armor (not raw blightiron) just applies a blightiron-colored Curing trim. It does not convert that armor into blightiron.

Dyeing Cured Blightiron

Smithing gives the default diamond Curing trim.

To switch it to the sealed black look: put one Cured Blightiron piece and Black Dye in the crafting grid (shapeless). Damage and enchantments stay on the piece.

Potions

Start with an Awkward Potion (Water Bottle + Nether Wart).

Potion Brew Duration / extra What it does
Pheromone Masking Awkward + Infected Sugar +Redstone → 8:00 (base is 3:00) Bees ignore you. Drink this one.
Hive Containment Awkward + Infected / Crimson / Warped / Void Honeycomb +Redstone → extended. +Glowstone → strong Splash a wild nest to pacify it. Also turns nearby parasitic bees back into normal bees. Splash a valid containment beacon to purge loaded chunks.
Hive Infection Hive Containment + Fermented Spider Eye — Splash a normal bee nest to infect it. Splash a beacon to put the dimension back on infection rules.
Swarm Lure Pheromone Masking + Fermented Spider Eye (base or extended masking both work) +Redstone → extended. +Glowstone → strong Splash to pull parasitic bees to the impact.

Gunpowder / dragon’s breath work as usual for splash and lingering.

Drink Masking. Throw Containment, Infection, and Swarm Lure.

Beacon containment (from the Breakout Lab notes)

Four full diamond layers under the beacon (3x3 through 9x9). Bottom 9x9 corners are one each of Parasitic, Crimson, Warped, and Void nests. Everything else on that layer is diamond. Splash Hive Containment on the beacon. Only loaded chunks get purged.

Splash water on the beacon to clear the mode.

Extra tools

  • Bee-repellent candles — fuel with Infected Honeycomb, then light. You can’t sleep in infected biomes without a candle or masking.
  • Blightiron Shears — harvest comb without angering bees.
  • Hive Sensor — redstone 0–15 from the hive in front (honey or bees mode).
  • Salt Gun — reload with Infected Salt (R). Hits parasitic bees harder on easier difficulty.
