## Features

#### Honey Wand

A wooden wand shaped to hold the same amount of honey as a bottle, only obtainable by trading with a Villager of the new Apiarist profession. Honey wands can be used to extract honey from Beehives, as a device for delivering honey to your mouth, or as a weapon that will briefly slow any mob to a near stop shall you strike them with it.

#### Honey-Covered Food Items

Honey can be added to Apples, Bread, or Porkchops to make Honey Apples, Honey Bread, or Honey-Glazed Porkchops respectively, which, in addition to being slightly more nutritious than their honey less counterparts, can also be used to cure certain harmful status effects. Honey Apples will cure Levitation, Honey Bread will cure Bad Omen, and Honey-Glazed Porkchops will cure Mining Fatigue, while all three will cure Poison.

#### Honey Pot

A pot that stores up to four bottles worth of honey, which can be extracted by filling up empty bottles, coating a dry Honey Wand, or taking all of it out as a single Honey Block. Honey Pots are also an easy way to craft honey-covered food items.

#### Candles

Candles can be crafted out of a Honeycomb and a piece of string, can be dyed any color, and can be placed in bunches of up to four per block. The more candles in a bunch, the brighter they collectively shine. Candles also contribute to Enchanting Tables the same way Bookshelves do, with ten candles being the equivalent of one Bookshelf. Special Soul and Ender candles have slightly more expensive recipes but have twice the enchantment value of a regular candle.

#### Scented Candles

Combining a Candle with any type of vanilla flower (or supported modded flower), gives you a Scented Candle, which applies a status effect to any mob standing close enough to it. The specific effect depends on the type of flower used, and the distance a mob needs to be to a bunch of scented candles to receive its effect depends on how many candles there are in it. Additionally, Scented Candles have 2.5 times the enchantment value of a regular candle, meaning it only takes four of them to equal one Bookshelf.

#### Apiarist Villagers

Villagers acquainted with a Honey Pot can be inspired to become an Apiarist. Apiarist Villagers are able to trade bee-related blocks and items including Honey Wands, Bee Nests, and Candles.

#### Honeycomb Bricks

Decorative honey-coloured bricks with stair, slab, and wall variants. Honeycomb Bricks can also be crafted into Honeycomb Tiles, which have a hexagonal pattern, or Chiseled Honeycomb Bricks, which are cut to resemble the face of a bee.

#### Honeycomb Door and Trapdoor

Honeycombs can be used to craft a unique-looking door or trapdoor.

#### Honey Lamp

A simple decorative light source, crafted by coating an End Rod in honey and attaching it to a gold base.

#### Beehive Variants

Different-looking beehives can be crafted out of all vanilla wood type.

#### Honeycomb Banner Pattern

A honeycomb-looking banner pattern can be made by combining a Honeycomb with a piece of Paper in a crafting grid.

#### Crystallized Honey Block

A fragile honey crystal that shatters if anything lands on it from above (or if it receives a redstone signal).

#### Buttercup

A sparkly yellow flower, native to Flower Forests and Sunflower Plains, that emits golden particles into the sky. A Scented Candle made with a Buttercup flower will have the same effect on nearby mobs as standing in direct sunlight, meaning hostile monsters that catch fire under sunlight will also catch fire if they stand near a Buttercup Scented Candle.

#### White Clover and Pink Clover

Naturally occurring in Forests and Birch Forests respectively, White and Pink Clovers are mainly useful for making Scented Candles that inflict Bad Luck on nearby entities (perhaps not really that useful).

#### Four Leaf Clover

Only obtainable through a trade with an Apiarist Villager, Four Leaf Clovers can be used to brew Potions of Luck, which can then be turned into a Potion of Bad Luck by adding a Fermented Spider Eye. Luck primarily affects the quality of loot that a player finds in naturally generated chests.

#### Mooblooms

Mooblooms are a special kind of cow that only spawn in Flower Forests, and grow Buttercup flowers on their backs. Mooblooms are like Buttercup Scented Candles in that they apply the Sunny status effect to mobs standing near them, however Zombies and Zombie-like monsters caught in the radiance of a Moobloom will defend themselves by trying to attack it.

#### Bottleable Bugs

Bees, Silverfish, and Endermites can be stuffed into a Bottle, where they will stay until released by either a player or a Dispenser.

#### Short Flower Duplication

Using Bone Meal on any type of flower duplicates it, instead of just two-high flowers.
