About this Mod

Buzzy Bee Drones

Minecraft 1.20.1 Fabric Port

Bee GIF

This is an unofficial port of Buzzy Drones to Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric).

The original mod adds bee-like drones that move items between stations automatically — no configuration needed.
Drones figure out what to do on their own, making them a fun alternative to conveyor belts or item pipes.

Changes in this port

Ported from 1.19.2 multiloader to 1.20.1 Fabric using Architectury
Migrated removed APIs: Material, Vector3f (JOML), Entity.level field, ItemStack.sameItem, passEvents, MenuType constructor
Fixed idle drone flying too high (Y-offset was always positive)
Verified drone anti-despawn behaviour (removeWhenFarAway returns false)
DataFixer warning suppressed for drone entity type
