Bee Nest — block.

Obtaining

Loot tableBee NestDetailed drops are not published yet.

Breaking

The nest is in the axe mineable family. Its block loot requires Silk Touch and

copies the stored bees and current honey level into the dropped item; without

Silk Touch the nest does not drop itself.

Data: Breaking
Hardness	0.3
Blast resistance	0.3
Tool	AxeTool
Recommended tool	Axe
Drop condition	Silk Touch
Preserved state	Bees and honey level

Natural generation

Bee nests generate as tree decorations near flowers and serve as homes for

bees. The Java tree presets use a 100% decorator in meadows, 5% presets for

plains and cherry trees, 2% presets in flower forests, and 0.2% presets for

some birch and forest trees.

Data: Natural generation
Meadow trees	100% bee-nest decorator
Plains/cherry trees	5% decorator
Flower forest trees	2% decorator
Birch/forest trees	0.2% decorator

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

A nest yields honey bottles or honeycombs when its honey level reaches five.

Campfire smoke below the nest allows harvesting without angering the bees.

Silk Touch moves the nest together with its stored bees and honey state.

Data: Usage
Shape	Full cube
Rendering	Isometric preview
Honey bottle	Use an empty bottle at honey level 5
Honeycomb	Use shears at honey level 5
Safe harvest	Campfire smoke below the nest

Sounds

The nest uses the wood sound group for ordinary block events. Honey-filled

states and bee interactions use the beehive-specific events.

Data: Sounds

Sound group	Wood
State	Empty or honey-filled

Behavior

Bees enter the nest with nectar, leave after their internal stay, and increase

the honey level when they return. The block stores up to three occupants and

uses a horizontal facing plus a honey level from zero to five.

Data: Behavior
Stack size	64
Solid block	Yes
Map color	color_yellow
Note block instrument	bass
State count	24
Occupants	Up to 3 bees
Honey level	0–5
Nectar cycle	Bees return with nectar
Smoke	Campfire prevents anger during harvest

The same beehive implementation owns both the natural nest and the crafted

hive. These paths expose the state, stored bees, decorator rates and loot.
