    About

    Productive Bees expands Minecraft’s bee system into an automated way to produce resources, adding bees that gather materials in advanced hives and turn them into combs for processing. Its bees cover familiar resources such as iron, gold, diamonds, redstone, and emeralds, as well as modded materials including copper, lead, silver, and resources from integrations such as Mystical Agriculture, Tinkers’ Construct, Thermal, and Powah; with relevant mods installed, the collection can exceed 200 bees. Bees are acquired through breeding or by finding nests in the world, and their housing and production depend on bee-specific needs such as flowers, habitat, and, for some kinds, whether a hive is dark or unlit. Resource combs are processed in a centrifuge into their outputs, such as diamond combs yielding diamonds and ender combs yielding ender pearls, while specialized bees can add distinctive behaviors: explosive bees detonate when provoked, and magmatic bees can retaliate by vomiting lava. The mod also includes tools for handling honey and bee genetics: a bottler fills bottles and can be used with a piston to extract genetic material, which the centrifuge separates into genes that can be transferred to other bees with honey treats. Advanced beehives come in up to 32 variants, and most aspects of the mod can be customized through configuration or data packs, including adding or disabling bees and adjusting their resource production.

    Written from Modrinth and the GitHub README . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes the game's code in 1 area: Mobs and their behaviorChanges 2 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act..

    A library packed inside it changes 1 more game code file: Productive Lib.

    Adds 304 blocks, 82 items, 475 entities, 1,713 recipes, 22 advancements and 1 loot table.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 23 latest files checked, last on 18 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      23 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 4 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 4 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 4 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
