Since the introduction of bees in Minecraft, they likely consider themselves the finest builders within the game. Evidence? Bees collect pollen, transform it into honey, and then create hives. Pfft, just because we reside among a pile of granite doesn’t mean they are superior builders to us!
To be honest, if it came down to a competition between me and the bees, they would probably just squash me. However, fortunately, there are more accomplished builders in Minecraft, and this time they’ve opted to construct machines using honey blocks. This allows players to exceed the 12-block piston limit, unlocking new creative possibilities.
This device demonstrates the functionality of the new block. We can alternate between simple blocks and honey blocks, resulting in an even distribution of load, allowing us to construct larger assemblies with pistons.
Conveyor Belt
The second method for utilizing the honey block is by creating a conveyor belt. Unlike other types, this block can attach items to itself, enabling you to transport them over long distances without worrying about their safety. For instance, this is ideal for building industrial structures.
Another application of the honey conveyor belt is an automated sushi bar. You sit at your table while food travels around, making its way to you. Hopefully, we won’t have to eat food soaked in honey…
Lifts
If you haven’t yet experimented with honey blocks, you might not realize the delightful sounds they produce. It’s hard to convey this in words, so give it a listen yourself. Scroll down a bit and look for this:
In continuation of the original builds, I present to you the honey elevator!
Elevators are not a new feature in Minecraft Bedrock, but honey elevators are something that players have yet to experience. They are quite easy to construct, and riding them is much more enjoyable than using standard elevators, although you will need to press your body against the honey blocks. But don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.
Honey blocks are slightly thinner than regular ones, allowing you to fit into the space between them.
On the opposite side, there are water blocks. To ensure the water flows upwards, place soul sand at the very bottom.
The final step involves the honey blocks. Step on them, and the water current will carry you upward.
Why limit yourself to creating elevators for just one person when you can design them for multiple users? One participant decided to construct a massive elevator based on a system of honey blocks. By utilizing existing designs from flying machines, he simply combined them into one large aerial vehicle.
Harvester
Previously, harvesters were made solely with the use of rods from The End, which destroyed all farmland during crop collection—an obviously unwise approach. However, in Minecraft version 1.15, these rods were modified, and now they do not cause damage, allowing us to create new machinery without concern. We can further streamline the harvesting process by incorporating honey blocks into the harvester.
Now, prepare to witness something truly magical. One participant constructed a sliding floor that, upon pressing a button, begins to move apart, revealing a passageway downwards. Just look at this!
