Bee hotel

Bee Hotel

Bee Hotel adds a single wall-mounted block: the Bee Hotel. Hang it on a wall
near flowers and crops, and solitary bees move in. While they are there, they
quietly tend the farmland around them.

What it does

– Houses 0–3 solitary bees, shown by the block model.
– Counts vanilla flowers within 5 blocks. Two flowers support one bee, up to a
  maximum of three.
– During clear daytime, every 30 seconds it advances one random crop within
  5 blocks by one growth stage.
– Emits happy-villager particles at the crop it tends.
– Right-click to show the current occupancy in the action bar. If there are no
  flowers within 5 blocks, it shows a hint instead.
– Is mineable by hand; an axe is faster.

Why use it

A Bee Hotel turns a flower garden into a small, passive farming helper without
adding bee entities, honey production, or a GUI. It is deliberately simple: one
block, one recipe, and a visible 0–3 bee occupancy state that shows whether the
hotel is working.

What it does not do

– No honey, honeycomb, bee items, or new bee entities.
– No GUI, config, networking, or world generation.
– No bonemeal-style instant growth. It advances one crop stage every 30 seconds.
– Does not work at night, in rain, or during thunderstorms.
– Does not support custom crops that do not extend `CropBlock`; stems and nether
  wart are skipped.

Crafting

– 6x any planks
– 2x bamboo
– 1x honeycomb

Output: 1 Bee Hotel

Placement

Place the Bee Hotel within 5 blocks of flowers and crops. It faces the
direction you are looking, matching a furnace. The occupancy model updates every
30 seconds (600 ticks).
