First release for 1.21.1, with a hive you wear

1.2.0 is the first Bee Mastery for Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge. It has everything from 1.1.0, that is the 11 bees, the auras with the Aura Belt, the frames and the guide book, and one new thing: the Portable Hive.

Portable Hive

A Bee House on straps. You wear it in the chestplate slot, and the bees inside keep working while you walk. Biome, weather and light are taken from where you stand. The recipe is a Bee House, four Leather, two String and an Iron Nugget.

• Sneak and right-click puts the hive on, B opens a worn hive, a right-click opens it from the hand.
• A flower in the flower slot replaces the flowers around you.
• A panel in the top left corner shows the queen and the status, with nothing to open.
• A hive crafted together with a chestplate takes its armour. Crafted alone, it gives the chestplate back.

The details are on Wearing a hive.

Upgrades and modules

A Basic hive works at a Bee House's pace, 25% of the bees' own speed, and has one module slot. Seven ingots and a propolis of the next metal upgrade it: Reinforced has 35% and two slots, Draconic 50% and three, Legendary 75% and four. Nothing inside is lost in the upgrade.

There are nine modules: Lantern, Canopy, Artificial Sun, Climate Stabilizer, Booster, Longevity, Mutagen, Gene Stabilizer and Collector.

The bees in your own hive no longer hurt you, whatever their effect is. Other hives hurt as before.

Config

The server file serverconfig/beemastery-server.toml sets the speed of each tier, the strength of the modules, the Collector's interval, the lantern's light and the protection from your own hive. It is sent to the clients. On the client you set the panel, its corner and the bees around worn hives. The mod list has a Config button.

Coming from 1.20.1

• Potato and Carrot bees now mutate from Cultivated: Potato with Meadows, Carrot with Forest. Before, both came from Forest and Meadows.
• The Tin, Silver, Lead, Bronze, Steel, Invar and Electrum frames are craftable when any mod in the pack adds the ingot. On 1.20.1 they needed Thermal, and there is no Thermal for 1.21.1.
• The guide book is translated into all the mod's languages and is crafted with a plain recipe: a Book and a Reinforced Propolis.
• The Aura Belt page of the guide book described the wrong gesture for checking the belt. Fixed.

Before you install

You need Forestry: Community Edition 3.0.0-alpha6 or newer and NeoForge 21.1.251 or newer. Older NeoForge 21.1 builds crash on world creation because of Forestry. The release is marked as a beta, because Forestry itself is still in alpha on 1.21.1.
