It's a crime this video isn't called Bee-utiful interiors.

I can’t beelieve the replies are also bad puns

[@justagirlwithautism4960]

We are a-bee-using our bee pun privileges

[@Valendr0s]

I think the secret to the bees is in the particles. Bee pollinates a flower, then gets stuck up in the vine. They're dropping pollen the whole time. When you tried to replicate it, they hadn't pollinated yet before being stuck.

[@timwoods2852]

Yeah, but then he added the flowering Azalea leaves and they were pollinating. So, maybe, there needs to be a berry growing on the vine already as well. 🤔

[@norbby42]

@@timwoods2852 Yeah, bees apply a bonemeal effect to growable blocks below them while traveling *after* having fed on a flower (works for any block that can be bonemeal'd). I don't think they can pollinate on leaf blocks though - but any flower or even the flowering azalea bush (actual bush, not leaves) would work

[@timwoods2852]

@@norbby42 I'm 98% certain they can do it with the flowering leaves too. I'm pretty sure they were in the video. It was a little hard to see though as X was on a bit of a swivel at that point.

[@someoneme7057]

Don't the bees also need to pathfind back to the hives?

[@timwoods2852]

@@someoneme7057 You'd think so, but nope. The devs probably didn't think that the bees would get trapped in a single spot and didn't give them the best pathfinding AI.

[@RedCocoon]

Add a pufferfish detector in the middle of False's stair and just yoink the whole staris out!

[@ender0998]

Or the actual player detector mojang added...

[@freekeefox]

That would require a whole lot of pistons. I'm sure Doc wouldn't mind if X "borrowed" some pistons. Especially if it's for murder.

[@rfresa]

Then drop her into a pit of dripstone and pufferfish.

[@Alice_Liddell_1865]

Yes False has been really careful it would be funny.

[@sq33z3r3]

Another cool episode X. Do the puffer sensor at the bottom, but up the top put a couple of obvious pressure plate TNT traps. This will make her extra cautious, so she will descend slowly. Which means you can predict exactly where she will be at puff up time. Use it to trigger a TNT minecart trap. Guaranteed obliteration. Make sure the blast radius of the traps avoid storage. Good luck Keep up the great content

[@diablos5955]

You could ask Doc about getting a load of bottles, he has a witch farm and is probably trashing alot of them. I believe he gave a load out to another hermit who needed a load

[@StefsEngineering]

Well tango did that already. he helped himself to I think 130 stacks at the moment. (If I'm not mistaken and it was someone else)

[@ptacraftgamer7528]

you can collect the glow berries automatically by using foxes, they eat glow berries similiar to how they do with sweet berries, so you could probably make a farm by having bees and foxes in a box

[@lasercraft32]

No, foxes can only take berries from Sweet Berry Bushes. They can _eat_ sweet berries or glow berries, but their ability to pick the berries from the plant only works for sweet berries (likely just an oversight, since the glow berries were added later... and probably to prevent foxes from pathfinding towards glow vines they can't reach).

[@ptacraftgamer7528]

@@lasercraft32 foxes can take berries from glow berries, just tested it, they just need to be on the same block as the vines

So they decided to prank beef and iskall was saying how it actually looked better and how the netherack looked good. And then the fact that you commented on it without knowing, is what made iskall so excited, because he was so happy that you agreed with him.

[@ninodv9839]

Your episodes are less dense with stuff compared to other hermits, and shows the more casual day to day on hermitcraft, which i really like. You get to know the world so much better through that approach. Keep up the great work! :D

[@gremmi7098]

The glow berries with Ren reminds me of the old etho single player where he'd just stare at stuff and work things out, what a nice surprise.

Speaking as an autistic person, that confusion X felt when people went insane about his Netherrack comment is a familiar yet ever uncomfortable feeling

[@TypicallyThomas]

@@lomiification Yeah this, X's explanation later on seemed very much post-explanation

[@AnimilesYT]

This is the source of so much of my trauma 🥲

[@Xigzagamer]

That bee thing seems to be the interaction of several intended mechanics interacting in an unexpected way. First the reason why the bees got stuck on the vines is due to mobs automatically climbing when they make contact with something they can climb. Meanwhile the super pollination is caused by the sheer number of bees that got stuck. Bees have that passive pollination ability after gathering pollen which can increase crop growth, its just usually significantly weaker. It might be possible to make a super farm for other crops using those exact same mechanics.

[@eloquentornot]

Yeah, the red prank on Beef's house actually looks quite good! And your floor texturing is brilliant! Texturing is such an interesting art!

[@yusaki8064]

That is an insane glow berry farm. I never realised you could stack the pollination effect to such a degree.

[@lasercraft32]

Makes me wonder if that could potentially be used for other farms too... Like one of those auto wheat farms but it uses bee pollen instead of bone meal.

[@yusaki8064]

@@lasercraft32 Yeah. After a quick Google they can apparently pollinate vines. So maybe a vine farm could be made with them. But I definitely think Glow Berries is the best thing you can get out of them. Since other farming methods are likely better.

[@lasercraft32]

@@yusaki8064 I dunno how other farming methods can be better than literal infinite bone meal (and you don't even need a complex moss machine to do it).

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

​@@lasercraft32 this may not be the fastest, but it is extremely starter friendly. I am just imagining a starter wheat/carrot/potato/glow berry/sweet berry Farm, where you have 10+ bees leashed into a block space above the crop, and AFK at it.

[@chacehawkins4708]

The original bees with the glowberries had azalea leaves around them that I believe were giving the bees the pollen to fertilize the berries.

[@jonahcraven8669]

I don't think that's actually necessary. As I understand it, the way it works is that once a bee is carrying pollen, it effectively just continuously rains bonemeal down onto any plants underneath it. It doesn't lose the pollen when it does that, though, that only happens once they enter a hive. The key is that before they get stuck up the vine, they already need to have pollen.

[@brickbot2.038]

@@jonahcraven8669 The wiki says a bee can make up to 10 pollination attempts. This isn't a mechanic I've paid much attention to, it would be so cool to see a farm made from it!

[@lasercraft32]

The bee-powered Glow Berry farm is a PHENOMINAL discovery! Not only is it efficient, but the particle effect could make for a _very_ interesting build hack! :D I wonder if a similar method could be used to farm other crops as well, like wheat... Would save a _ton_ of bonemeal!

[@DanYami]

did X forget that you can use shears on vines/glowberries to stop them from growing downwards?

[@Ironsight_Army]

Looks like it

[@disturbed_puppy]

Bees need a flower to get pollen on them before they can pollinate, right? In the original room you had flowers on the ground.

[@GothBoyUK]

Yep, they need to be 'dripping pollen' to pollenate crops. It works great if you combine a wheat farm with an apiary.

[@noobelia]

I enjoyed the formation of the storage room on stream a lot and I think you done a very good job completing the details afterwards. It looks really good.

[@blobmaestro]

7:16 "So that is, no longer going to BEE a problem..." Nice

[@Taolan8472]

The bee pollen trick also works with crops! You can make bonemeal free crop farm using bees. Combined with a minecart to rock back and forth you can AFK farm quite a lot of crops quite quickly. IIRC you need 8+ bees per tile for "instant" growth staging, and they have to be dripping with pollen and they must be able to pathfind to "return" to a beehive/nest, even if they can't actually make it.

[@mydave6880]

I'm in love with this season mood

[@raaz1210]

yeah everyone is interacting

[@ForeverLaxx]

I've decided "using string to stop glow berries from growing" is engagement bait.

[@LunealSky]

Idk I think he genuinely forgot based on his later interaction with Ren

[@entomoid]

You can use shears to stop vines(all plants that you can climb, like warped and crimson vines) from growing. Now you don’t need string.

[@jasonreed7522]

Its all of them except the original vines, those still annoying need string.

[@entomoid]

@@jasonreed7522 not last time I checked, they can just spread horizontally, so you need to snip all of them.

[@JacksonOwex]

13:55(I should probably timestamp this!) Wow X, I have never seen so many Balls... of Friendship!!!

[@timwoods2852]

It might be a game data thing. Because Glow Berries grow in odd, sporadic ways, there might be a check in the code for whether or not the vine actually has berries. If there are no berries then the game might count that as unable to be grown at all. Try bone mealing the topmost vine to get the berries started and see if they spread down from there.

[@TheEmeraldWeirdo]

Okay, bees being able to essentially auto-bone meal Glow Berry vines is an amazing discovery. That would make for an awesome early-game food source if you get a decent world spawn.

[@hackticdev]

I love this early season period where everyone is super active and posting a lot

[@wil0514]

I’m enjoying the extended opening clips before the intro. Throws me off every time but it’s just really fresh and new

[@StuartdeHaro]

Trap idea for you that could target False. Her job with the neighborhood is to make the roads, right? And she's been marking them out with path blocks, so what if you buried an observer under a block within the marked path that triggers a bunch of TNT mine carts? If she mines that block or turns it into a path block in the course of her road-making duties it should update the observer and BOOM!!! Land mine! Hedge your bets and place, ohhh.... a dozen or so around the area. That should work.

[@BlueBananVR]

You should try putting drip stone in the water at the bottom of a mining shaft. I don’t know for sure if it can be water logged or not. If it can you should try to incorporate your idea of pufferfish into it and put a fish under it is poison them too.

[@SweetSunnyDream1]

I didnt even realize you said it wrong "bree beeding" sounds so natural 😂

[@qocket]

Fascinating bee mechanic you uncovered, but it makes sense as bees pollinate other growing plants.

[@shawnholbrook7278]

cool find about the bee pollen. make sure that one or two of the surrounding blocks are flowering azalea . oh, and I like the storage.

[@colinrobinson9858]

Hey X- have you considered using a skulk sensor to drop the floor out from false’s mineshaft? In that 2x2 corner she has in the mineshaft staircase you could have the floor turn into a pit

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

you should infest Etho's base with bees since all of his floors are beehives

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

X, that bee pollination stacking discovery opens doors for extremely cheap starter farms. You can leash the flower-fed bees into a block space above wheat/carrot/potato, sweet berry/glow berry and basically have infinite bonemeal without a source for it. Maybe not the fastest, but really efficient.

[@tacitakoe5004]

For the glowberry bee things - the bees definitely do all need to be stuffed full of pollen first, so giving them flowering bushes was needed to start with. Once they're all dripping with particle again, it should result in the same insta-glowberry setup. You might need to double check just how many bees were actually clustered in that one spot you farmed, though - there were A LOT of particles dripping in that space, eight might even be too few for the full effect. But now I'm super curious if you could abuse this feature for bonemeal-less mini crop farms of all types. Imagine being able to just rapid plant carrots and seeds for wheat and get them instantly ready to pick up without needing that clunky triple dispenser and piston setup.

[@penelope_skye]

You can sheer the bottom block of the glow berries to stop them growing any further than you want, to stop you having to punch the bottom out :D

[@goldenmeerkat2166]

[@Adrianito4747]

No string on glowberrys Xisuma, they can be stopped growing with shears !

[@ion0057]

common thing i do in any minecraft world is i place dirt blocks on the front of bee nests early on so that when i eventually do get silk touch, the bees have not gotten lost or died on me. yes, bees only come out of the nest from the front, so just one solid block stops them.

[@MrBodoFraggins]

[@SnoFitzroy]

7:57 you can actually right click a Shears on the bottom-most vine block, for iirc literally any type of vine, and it will stop growing. I think the same applies to kelp. I might be remembering wrong but I heard this was a feature added in 1.20

[@Isaak1]

This has been one of my favorite series so far

[@cravdraa]

OOH! It's the bees! the bees pollen is making berries grow on the vines when they fly through them! I was wondering how they could all be full of berries, since they don't grow that way typically. the bees are basically bonemealing them everytime they fly through them. I feel like I just learned a new mechanic.

[@cravdraa]

and you just figured it out with Ren like a few minutes later. =p

[@Yasser-444]

dude, bees supposed to remember crops they fertilized to not fertilize them again until they pollinate a new flower, but because harvest glow berries reset it from the bee's memory, they can fertilize them again and again.

[@PGJVids]

The bees probably need a home hive to pathfind towards to pollinate the vines.

[@The3gg]

People being shocked that netherrack works in palettes is insane like ofc it does! Every block can work if utilized well!

[@Aenyn]

No String Required to stop the Glow Berries, just snip the tip with some shears.

[@just_caitlin]

You can trim the glow berry vines with shears (right click which shifting on the end of them when they're the length you want, it's a different snip sound to went you harvest the berries) and then they won't grow any more, no need for string 👌🏻

[@AnimilesYT]

X, do the bees make the vines also grow down way faster? You could use a piston to break the vines so the glow berries drop. This way you could hopefully make an automatic glow berry farm

[@Sock-Monster-Simian]

I'm glad that glowberries are finally growing properly. It was really annoying when you had to bonemeal them to grow the length or berries at all.

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

Use the crafter to craft honey blocks from the automatic farm, that way you can recycle the bottles back into the farm automatically

[@pomodoko]

False is really cautious! Perhaps trapping other parts of her base might work?

[@lordthunderpork]

The bee house (I think you called it an Apiary?) is beeautiful, love the birch + bamboo!

[@Tyrus-jq8qk]

If you wanted to trap that staircase I'd imagine a spruce pressure plate would blend right in, then the rest is simple.

[@Ronanelm]

The storage room looks great! The base is coming along really nicely! 😁

[@AlexanderTome]

I may be wrong, but i believe i remember reading a while back that bees need to be pathfinding (or attempting to pathfind) back to a home base to actively pollinate. Perhaps that was the issue in the glowberry farm?

[@alphaviki7987]

An idea on how to get False: With her minechaft, you could trap one of the corners, have 4 piston remove the corner itself and then two others pushing up the stairs that lead downward to prevent her to just move over the trap with momentum. You could connect this to a Skulk sensor and dig a pit with crafting tables / redstone ore (to prevent water clutching) or stalagmites at the bottom. Tbf you might've gotten your kill at this point or the game might be over, but I wanted to share this idea I had.

[@yug1445]

loving the cold opens

[@nickclarke1307]

The bees need flowers first so the bees can get dirty bums (white colour bits), and then they can pollinate crops. You also could try adding crops under the glow Berry's and see if they also grow quicker might be a got carrot/wheat farm as well saves you needing to bonemeal crops. You may of accidentally revolutionised bee powered villager crop farms, if you can get the bees to pollinate crops under the glow Berry's or keep them up there some other way you could get villager to havest /plant the crops for you. With enough bees if the crops grow quick the villager could just stand still and work saving space and speeding up the farm

[@mbalrog6]

I bet you could trap a/multiple pollenated bee/s over a single farm block and then use the block to darn near insta grow any crop. Like those single block sugar farms, except you have to plant it yourself then harvest it, but interesting. Could even see if you can double duty the glow berry idea, trap 3 or 4 above the glow berry, then sear the vine two blocks above the farm tile. Then you could see if you get the pollination ticks on both farm tile and the glow berry.

[@genericname9024]

X is so adorable even when he's not trying to bee 😅

[@otyugsdisplacerbeasts7943]

X, btw, you don't have to use string to keep glowberry vines from growing too long; you can trim them by right clicking with shears!

[@edtuckerartist]

Glowing find that Mojang will probably Bee fixing now.

[@on_certainty]

i can't stop thinking about all the farms possible with bees at the root of something

[@Ctrn_C3]

You can actually use the bees pollinating mechanic for all crops. Just trap some bees one block above the crop with a trapdoor in between so they can't escape. The bees need to have the {HasNectar:1} tag and a free hive nearby for them to pollinate the crops. If you have the maximum of 24 bees in one block this makes for quite a fast bonemealless cropfarm. It was however a bit unreliable with them for some reason not always pollinating the crops properly. If someone wants to try to improve, feel free.

[@thomasfplm]

Put a bunch of puffer fish in a single water block and push a top slab into the same space with a piston. Do it somewhere one of your targets would pass.

[@mikekelly1771]

If you bone meal that glowberry vine just once, it will fruit. Then harvest, and that vine block will then continue to fruit.

[@thenopequeen]

Good ol Beesuma, back at it again
