This mod rewrites Bee AI using Mojang's modern Brain system for more consistent and reliable behavior. Their homes are memorized more effectively and their pathing has been optimized for both performance and stability.
Bees will no longer arbitrarily fly away from their homes or get stuck in the sky.
This mod effectively fixes: \ MC-206401 \ MC-190261 \ MC-190042 \ MC-276167 \ MC-174348 \ MC-160394
It is only required on the server. Don't worry about getting it on your client unless you want it on singleplayer.

[1.10.3] 1.10.3
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- 26.3 support, no changes
[1.10.2] 1.10.2
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- lots of optimizations
- bees path randomly towards flowers
- report bugs on the [GitHub](https://github.com/dopadream/Brainier-Bees)
this is probably the final release for now for real this time. At some point I will explore fixing bees getting lost wandering oceans when they have no home, but it's low priority right now
[1.10.1] 1.10.1
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Fixed bees falling to the ground when bred/summoned
- Fixed bees trying to pathfind into doors?
- Pre Release 4 Son. This may be the final version for 26.2 for now. It will still work when the update comes out.
[1.10.0] 1.10.0
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- 26.2 port, report bugs and suggest features on [GitHub](https://github.com/dopadream/Brainier-Bees/issues)
[1.9.0] 1.9.0
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Updated to 1.21.11
- Updated bee pathfinding so they can't fly into the void in certain scenarios
- Bees no longer fly too close to the ground
- Bees will now retreat home after a (configurable) amount of failed flower search attempts
- Since this update adds a new config entry, you'll have to delete your existing config file if you want it to update.**
[1.8.0] 1.8.0
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- 1.21.9 port (it was crashing for me otherwise)
[1.7.4] 1.7.4
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Refactored and optimized a majority of the code
- Fixed hive blacklist not being functional
- After pollinating 10 crops, bees will lose their nectar instead of no longer being able to pollinate crops. This should allow for some more unique farm designs involving bees
[1.7.3] 1.7.3
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Bees will no longer try to path to unreachable flowers when on a leash
- Optimized icon filesize
[1.7.2] 1.7.2
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Removed spammy debug log I forgot to remove during development
[1.7.1] 1.7.1
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Updated internal icon, forgot to push this in the 1.7 release!
- Rewrote pathfinding a bit so that bees are even better at not getting lost from their hives
- Rewrote behavior on leads to be more natural and behave more like Allays
- Optimized configs internally
- Bees no longer ignore flowers held by the player
In this new version, bees will be very persistently stubborn about going back to their homes. If you want to relocate a bee to a new hive, leash them to a fence near the desired hive and wait overnight in-game or simply break their original hive.
A future update may feature a more streamlined way for relocating bees, possibly even the ability to put bees in bottles.
[1.6] Brainier Bees 1.6
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- Initial port to 1.21, report any bugs on github
- Increased time bees are allowed to wander home for
[1.5] Brainier Bees 1.5
by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
Hey! formalities aside, this one is a bit experimental! I've added a config file that auto generates (thanks to magistermaks for SimpleConfig!), and though I'm pretty sure it works well, I'd still say it needs more testing before I'm comfortable considering this a fully released update.
On top of this, I've also fixed hive memorization not registering properly, so behavior might be different. Let me know if you run into any issues.
- That being said, use with caution! Not saying anything will crash and burn, but back up your saves anyways!**

by dopadream on Oct 15, 2026
Download
