A honey-and-gold hive-fire that calms bees and hastens pollination. Each remaining Tier on the ring fuels duration; the secondary Tier under the campfire sets its reach. Opposite BeeSplosion's combat swarm.

How it works

The Beekeeper's Lattice is a honey-and-gold hive-fire. While it burns, bees within reach stay calm, crops ripen faster, and hives fill with honey sooner. Beekeeper's Lattice raised (radius 24, 900s, pollination +75%). Bees stay calm while crops and hives quicken.

Two kinds of Tier block play separate roles:

• The fuel sits on the gold base and sets how long the lattice burns: five minutes per Tier, per block.
• The standing block under the campfire sets the reach and the pace, and it is never spent.

Standing block Tier	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Radius	8	16	24	32	40	48	64
Pollination	+25%	+50%	+75%	+100%	+125%	+150%	+200%

Right-click the campfire to raise it, and sneak and right-click it to lower it.

Fuel

When time runs low, the lattice draws a Qixsilver Reservoir in your Domain, then an Aether Chest on the base, then the next Tier block on the base, clockwise.

advance-chance-divisor	200	Each pulse, eligible crops/hives advance with probability speedPercent / this.
pulse-ticks	40	Game ticks between pollination pulses.
max-advances-per-pulse	48	Cap on crop/hive advances in one pulse (lag guard).
max-hive-advances-per-pulse	8	Cap on beehive/nest honey-level advances counted within the crop budget.
