In the Minecraft: Java Edition, a new update has been released that introduces not only bees but also honeycomb blocks, honey, honey bottles, and beehives. Additionally, there will be achievements related to honey and bees, the ability for iron golems to regenerate, new features from other versions of Minecraft, changes to dispensers, and loot will now drop at the location where a mob was defeated.
Bees
- Bees are adorable, slightly fuzzy creatures that constantly buzz around.
- If you don’t provoke them, they won’t bother you.
- Similar to real life, when a bee is attacked, it loses its stinger and dies, yielding no loot.
- Throughout their lives, bees work diligently to collect pollen from flowers.
- They take off to gather, collecting the necessary amount of pollen before returning to the hive.
- If a bee lacks a hive, it will fly back and forth until it finds a suitable location.
- During rain and at night, bees head back to their hives.
- You can cultivate bees by planting flowers.
- If a bee fails to locate nectar, it will return home and then set out again in search.
- They are not fond of water.
- Bees make their way home even if it’s raining elsewhere.
- A bee searches for a new home within a 10-block radius.
Hives
- They are found in flower forests Minecraft, plains, and sunflower fields.
- When a bee returns home, honey supplies are replenished.
- There are 5 levels of honey available.
- Beehives enable bees to share locations of flowers.
- Beehives are crafted using honeycombs and wooden planks.
- To collect a honey block, silk touch is required; otherwise, the beehive will break.
- Smoke reduces bee activity.
Honey Block
- It is difficult to jump or walk on these blocks.
- If pushed by a piston, you move along with it.
- You can slide down walls made of these blocks, which slow your movement speed.
- These blocks cushion falls.
- When pushed by a piston, a honey block sticks to adjacent blocks and pushes them as well.
- Slime and honey blocks do not stick to each other.
- Mobs tend to avoid walking on honey blocks.
- Crafting one block requires four bottles of honey.
