Minecraft Username: HyruleanHero Description: In version 1.15.2, this was added: "Oak and Birch trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any flower have 5% chance to grow with bee nest and 2 Bees in it." according to the Bee page on the official wiki: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Bee However, when I finally managed to grow an Oak tree with a nest attached, no bees spawned with it. If necessary, I can try again and record this time, but with such a low spawn rate, it was a bit unpredictable and I had no idea when I'd get one.
can also confirm. 6 successfully spawned bee nests in rising, and 3 successfully spawned bee nests in mining. no bees spawned.
Collecting the honey from bee nests is the vanilla way of getting honey bottles to then craft honey blocks. On ECC /kit mobs2 gives 4 honey bottles (enough for 1 honey block).
The current running theory on the server is that the reason they don't spawn in Rising is because they are technically a hostile mob even though they are only hostile if provoked. If there was a way to set them as always passive, that would be lovely. At least in rising. It was pointed out to me that we might not be allowed to have such a thing in the end, but we can have lots of sheep and chicken within reason. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, correct. Bees only spawn via oak/birch trees that can either be naturally generated or grown by a player. And yes, as said above, they consistently spawn in such an environment in mining.
