_A strange nectar brewed from honey with the forbidden chorus fruit of The End_. Teleports the player upwards through nearby ceilings. Great for caving! ![chorus_honey_block_bottom](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/d80ebbb3-4c88-4662-acfb-93c816e4fd5e) **Chorus Honey Blocks**
Retains the strange properties of chorus honey in a crystallised form, causing entities to slide upward into the air. ### Apiarist's Set *Beekeeping attire for the aspiring adventure-apiarist.*
*These articles sport little in the way of protection, but are unbreakable.*
Mostly made from _waxed wool_, a composite wool loosened with honey. When drizzled with a bit of honey from a bottle, it can be drained to perform **special abilities**.
A water bottle can wash out the honey for reuse. ![apiarist_veil](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/797fbfc8-ea98-4037-b433-9a38adafd7aa) **Apiarist's Veil**
*Honey | **Bee Calm***: Calms bees targeting the wearer.
*Chorus | **Bee Allies***: Angers bees towards hostiles targeting you.
*Bees will only be angered if it's safe for them to attack - see below!* ![apiarist_suit](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/ca34907f-7066-4f87-bfa4-f0ed96442da3) **Apiarist's Suit**
*Honey | **Sticky Thorns***: Immobilizes attackers in honey.
*Chorus | **Chorus Dodge***: Half of all projectiles simply miss.
![apiarist_leggings](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/562c95b7-ad6b-44d2-a662-90e60f649539) **Apiarist's Leggings**
*Honey | **Honey Climber***: Allows bounding up honey blocks, and being tossed away from chorus honey blocks.
*Chorus | **Pollen Pants***: Allows pollinating crops - just like bees do!
![apiarist_wellies](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/9bfd4619-c4b2-4de0-a58c-dc270a512517) **Apiarist's Wellies**
*Milled from waxed copper, with honeycomb block soles.*
*Empty | **Slippery When Dry***: The waxed soles cause slipping and sliding on all surfaces.
*Honey | **Honey Block Crystallise***: Resist knocks and attacks by sneaking to crystallise against below honey blocks. Or build elastic energy from chorus honey blocks!
*Chorus | **Faithwalking***: Slide far past the edge of cliffs, but don't look down! ![apiarist_shears](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/f24a9d1c-ab14-458b-9afd-033e39c2e906) **Apiarist's Shears**
*Psst, are you with the bee union?* This hardy set of shears made from waxed copper blocks is familiar to bees, and **won't anger them.**
*Honey | **Nest Harvesters***: Wild pollinators dwelling in nests provide you extra combs each harvest.
*Chorus | **Nest Scavengers***: Scavenger drones operating from nests share local resources each harvest. ![apiarist_wand-1](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/94884a94-26b0-4ace-8c15-f5d5c28feb53) **Honeyed Wand**
Instilled with pollen magic, this tool can't be honeyed itself, but drains honey drizzled on clothes and the off-hand. *Draining Honey*: Inflicts **magical honey damage** to hurt mobs and heal bees!
*Draining Chorus*: Harnesses the strange power of chorus honey to **fling enemies** to the ground, dealing fall damage! ## Mechanics ![honey_block_bottom](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/0577e49c-045e-4a87-aaca-ba4d3fa651d0) ![beacon](https://github.com/HestiMae/pollinators-paradise/assets/62225435/4558b370-c3b0-4d07-8981-fe5ec66e2741) **Beecons**
Beacons with a honey block staining their beam become *beecons*, which affect both players and bees. **Bees are also now affected by more status effects!**
*Haste*: Bees process honey in hives faster.
*Strength*: Bees inflict Poison II, or Wither II at level II.
*Resistance/Regeneration*: In addition to the base effects, bees will only take minor damage regrowing their stingers.
*Speed*: Bees fly more erratically, and debatably faster.
If you're extra worried about bee welfare, [feed the bees](https://modrinth.com/mod/feed-the-bees) allows bees to always regrow their stingers for minor damage, and adds direct healing via sugar. Beacon bases can also be made from copper blocks and waxed copper blocks - so get pollinating! --- ### Afterword A very special thank you to [@sisby-folk](https://modrinth.com/user/sisby-folk) who helped out a lot with teaching me to make minecraft mods.
