About this Mod

Adds 3 configurable options per-world (WORLDFOLDER/serverconfig/beefreeforge-server.toml):

wetsnow: Makes entities that take damage from rain also take damage from snow.
rainhurtsbees: Makes bees take damage from rain. wetsnow will also apply to bees due to this, if this is enabled.
ignorantbees: Makes bees ignore weather when entering or leaving the hive. If you are also using rainhurtsbees at the same time, bees will not exit the hive if the block above the hive can see the sky.

Frequently Asked Questions

BeeFree server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is BeeFree compatible with forge?

BeeFree officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.16.5, 1.16.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with BeeFree – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BeeFree consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
