Aura Belt, hive synergy and a guide book
Charms now work only in the Aura Belt, two at a time. Hives with the same aura widen each other's area, and the mod gets an in-game guide.
1.1.0 rebuilds the aura system around one new item and closes a few holes left from 1.0.
Charms need a belt
An Aura Charm used to pulse straight from the inventory, and nothing stopped you from carrying all five auras at once. Now a charm works only in the new Aura Belt, and the belt holds two. To socket a charm, hold the belt in one hand and the charm in the other and right-click. To take it out, empty the other hand, sneak and right-click.
When you update, the charms in your inventory stop working until you craft a belt: six Leather and an Iron Nugget.
The charms are crafted differently too: from the propolis of their metal and three nuggets, where it used to be a comb. The Harvest charm still takes a Carrot Comb.
Hives side by side
Hives with the same aura that stand within about 12 blocks of each other widen each other's pulse area, up to +60% with four neighbours. While you stand inside an aura, its name is shown above the hotbar in its colour.
With JEI, every aura has a page with its effect, radius and pulse interval.
Guide book
The mod now has a Patchouli book about the breeding order, the auras, the frames and the tools. It is crafted from a Book and a Reinforced Propolis.
Metal chain
- Bees give nuggets where they used to give ingots. Draconic and Witheria bees, which gave no metal at all, give nuggets too.
- Propolis can be obtained again: 10% from centrifuging Draconic, Legendary, Reinforced, Witheria and Mutated combs.
- Witheria Ingot and Witheria Block are new. Without the ingot there was nothing to make Witheria Sticks from, so the Witheria Frame could not be crafted at all. Now it can.
Frames and tools
- The top frames need the frames below them. The Reinforced Frame takes a Diamond Frame. The Draconic Frame takes a Witheria Frame and a Reinforced Frame. The Legendary Frame takes a Witheria Frame, a Draconic Frame and a Nether Star.
- The new Ranch Frame for the farm bees is made of Leather, White Wool, a Clay Ball and a Carrot.
- A grafter is now an ingot at the tip and two sticks. It used to be three sticks.
- Copper frames and sticks no longer require Thermal. Vanilla Copper Ingots were always enough for them.
Propolis, grafters, scoops, ingots, nuggets, storage blocks and the Aura Belt have hand-drawn textures in place of tinted placeholders.
