...Anyway. I've been coaxed out of my "oh no, I messed up" avoidance spiral of the past few days by this new video from Hyundai buying Boston Dynamics, it's great.

The bees are great! 8) I actually just started with "I don't want my bees to get angry but an open flame campfire might HURT them, can I just... make a new bee smoker block...??" and figured since I'm making a mod anyway, I'd add in wood variant hives and ~bee hibernation~ ('cause I like to play with a mod that adds seasons)
I got a few other ideas I wanna put in*, but I think I'm gonna release a v1.0 with just those three features. So probably within the next day or two, since the hibernation is the only one of those three main points I haven't done yet. Which is pretty exciting??
* I want to make a portable tool that you can use on a hive to temporarily smoke it, letting you harvest from wild bee nests on the go or have a nicer-looking farm hive layout without needing smoker blocks. But that idea is proving to be Basically Impossible. I also am toying with the idea of having flavoured honey - crafting honey with a flower is the easy way to implement it, but what I really wanna do is have the variety of honey be determined by the flowers the bees gather nectar from, which is substantially trickier but probably doable?

Honestly I almost exclusively play vanilla Minecraft when I play so the way I deal with bees (since I don't want to burn them) is to steal the honey and run like hell because if they sting me they die. I would describe this as less than ideal.

I play with minimal mods 'cause I like farming too much lmao and also my fave seasons mod finally made the conversion to post-1.13 - so it's really kinda like vanilla++ more than most people's modded MC. If you're curious, here's my current mod list!
- AppleSkin - shows you your saturation and hunger and also adds tooltips to food items
- Cooking For Blockheads - adds kitchen stuff and a recipe book
- Genetic Animals - adds animal breeding genetics and makes husbandry slightly more realistic, still in dev
- Hunger Mechanics - lets me get hungry faster so food is still meaningful when not playing combat
- HWYLA - shows info on blocks you're looking at
- InControl - lets you define the rules for mobs spawning, e.g. stop any hostile mobs from spawning
- Serene Seasons - adds SEASONS!!!
- Simple Farming - adds new foods and brewing, but like, in a manageable way, just enough new things to make it an interesting degree of variety instead of the "oh god why is there so much of everything" effect I get from the cornerstone food mod, Pam's Harvestcraft, lol
The other half of the mods I use are just UI enhancements or back-end rules tweaking because I have a very specific way I like to play minecraft re: hunger and combat

Stumbled back across Puddle's Pity Party again this weekend with this wonderful gem.
I feel like Ellie in particular would enjoy this if she's around.
