Killer Bees

Creator notes

# Killer Bees **Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge · by GestSe** Vanilla bees sting you for a few hearts and buzz off. These ones call the rest of the hive, chase you down, and leave something in you that keeps working long after the swarm is dead. Killer Bees is a standalone mob with its own model, its own sounds, and a venom simulation that runs on the server as a real gameplay system rather than a stack of potion effects. --- ## The swarm A Killer Bee that spots you, gets hurt, or lands a sting **tells every other bee nearby**. They share the target and come as a group. Break or punch a nest and the whole colony enters a rage state: faster, harder hitting, and a few more come boiling out of the hive to join in. Nests generate in warm biomes — savanna, jungle, sparse jungle, plains — and quietly maintain a capped population around themselves. They will never breed without bound. The danger is the swarm, not the individual. One bee is an annoyance. Six is a problem you need a plan for. ## Venom is a state, not a debuff Every player tracks four values from 0 to 100: | | | |---|---| | **Venom** | how much is in you. Drains slowly. Enough of it kills you. | | **Pain** | drives the screen ef
