## Create: Buzzy Bees 1.4.0

The biggest update so far: new planners, a much stronger Schematic Zapper, fluids, Create logistics integration, undo/redo and fully reworked ponders.

### New

• Copy Planner**: select an area, then copy or cut it and paste it somewhere else with bees. The clipboard is placed like a schematic and stays for more pastes (#56, #8)
• Master-Planner**: one item that acts as every planner, now including the Copy Planner and Create's Schematic and Quill (#58, #10)
• Undo / redo for bee jobs**: press Z / Y while holding a planner or the zapper. Bees carry out the undo themselves (#55)
• Schematic Zapper**: a survival Worldshaper whose work is done by bees (#50). It now has its own shapes, including Ellipsoid, Dome, Capsule, Cone and Torus, a hollow mode for balloon envelopes and airship hulls, and configurable size limits (#60)
• Fluid support**: the new **Dock Port** connects bees to fluid tanks. Bees place fluids from schematics and pick them up when deconstructing (#11)
• Waggle Port**: orders whatever bee jobs are missing from Create's logistics network and has it delivered to an address. Items kept in stock by Factory Gauges get crafted automatically (#61)
• Mechanical Apiary**: turns bone meal and flowers into honey. Honey and sugar compact into honeycomb (#54)
• Clipboard checklist**: right-click a schematic ghost with a Clipboard to write the missing items onto it (#51)
• Sable (Create Aeronautics) compatibility**: bees work on and around ships (#22)

### Changes

• Bee springs matter now**: when a bee's spring runs out it flies home, rewinds and continues where it stopped. Faster hive rotation makes springs last longer; Portable Beehive rewinds cost honey (#62)
• Planner toolbar**: the Deconstruction, Pickup and Copy Planners share a Create-style toolbar (hold Alt and scroll) (#57)
• Planner reset and sounds**: shift-right-click clears a schematic, clipboard or selection, with new sounds for setting corners, clearing and programming (#59)
• Custom GUI textures** for the Waggle Port, Schematic Zapper, Schematic Deployer and the job detail panel, which now shows missing materials as item slots (#63)
• Shorter tooltips** and goggle titles for the Logistics and Dock Ports; the Dock Port got a new look (#65)

### Ponders

• Every ponder rebuilt in Create's style: Mechanical Beehive, bees and their spring, Logistics, Cargo, Dock and Waggle Port, and the Schematic Deployer, in new ponder categories (#64)
• The Cargo Port ponder now explains requester priority and what happens when a requester is full (#53)

### Fixes

• Crash at startup when a config value was read too early (#3)
• Server crash every time a Bumble Bee finished a transport job (#47)
• Crash with bees and Cargo Ports (#2)
• Bumble Bees weren't counted by their hive and could exceed the bee limit (#48)
• Bumble Bees turned into Mechanical Bees after Pickup Planner jobs with a Portable Beehive (#46)
• Bees kept retrying forever when the

# The performance release!!!

> This release was mainly focus around performance, that why is significantly increased the release cycle

## Performance upgrades

• Rewritting Bee job calculation
• Bees are no longer entities, but client side particles
• Large jobs are now processed over multiple ticks when calculating how bees need to fly for them, to not cause a huge spike in tps drop
• Bees only check if they are correct once they reach a checkpoint
• Bees actually only exist on the client side, the server side only keep tracks of where the be is, without any entity actually existing

## The Schematic Deployer

• New block which can be used to automatically trigger a programed schematic via. redstone
• Use the relative or absolute mode to move set exactly where to place the schematic

## The pickup planer

• A new tool to pickup any items in the area and insert them into your system

## New upgrade system:

• Upgrades in the portable beehive are now a bit more unique and different to use than before, giving you more customizability to your likins ;)

## New upgrades!

• Drone view, get a birds eye view over your builds and easily place schematics
• Honey Tank, increase storage of your portable beehive
• Inventory Access: Access shulker boxes in your inventory for items

## New performance configs

• New options to match performance with your server, the mod set quiete defensive default values, increase them to your liking

# Bug Fixes

• Fixed broken schematic online browser
• Fixed undeployable blueprints

# New Features

• Spout Honey Filling — The Portable Beehive can now be filled with honey using a Create Spout. 250mB of honey refills 100 fuel. Visible in JEI under the Spout category.

# Bug Fixes

• Blocks now drop when broken — All blocks (Mechanical Beehive, Logistics Port, Cargo Port) were missing mineable tool tags, causing them to not drop as items. They now require a stone pickaxe or better.
• Mechanical Beehive preserves bees — Breaking a Mechanical Beehive now drops all stored mechanical bee items instead of destroying them.
• Ponder index fixed — The "Buzzy Bees" Ponder category now correctly lists all blocks and items in the index.

# Balancing

• Reduced Bee recipe to only 1 Loop
• Reduced SU impact of Mechanical Beehive to x128 instead of x256

# New Features

• Spout Honey Filling — The Portable Beehive can now be filled with honey using a Create Spout. 250mB of honey refills 100 fuel. Visible in JEI under the Spout category.

# Bug Fixes

• Blocks now drop when broken — All blocks (Mechanical Beehive, Logistics Port, Cargo Port) were missing mineable tool tags, causing them to not drop as items. They now require a stone pickaxe or better.
• Mechanical Beehive preserves bees — Breaking a Mechanical Beehive now drops all stored mechanical bee items instead of destroying them.
• Ponder index fixed — The "Buzzy Bees" Ponder category now correctly lists all blocks and items in the index.

# Other

• Added client-side rendering config options (showConstructionGhosts, showSchematicPreview, showBeehiveRange, showBeeTargetLines, ghostBlockOpacity, etc.)
• Added server config options (enableExternalBrowser, minActiveRobotsAtRpm)

## New configs
### Server side config

• The server side config has been reworked to enable new settings, and also make the external schematic browser disablable.

### Client side config

• New performance and visual options have been added on the client side config, which can be used to tweak the mod to your likings.

### CICD

• New fully automated cicd releases to curseforge and modrinth.

Experimental forge release

# Bug Fixes

• Fixed bumble bees dying after getting stuck near machinery
• Fixed bees flying in straight lines instead of navigating around obstacles
• Fixed portable beehive bees ignoring network logistics ports and always using the player's inventory

# Improvements

• Bumble bees now retry entering full hives and can adopt into alternate hives
• Bumble bees now detect when their hive is destroyed and attempt to find a new one
• Improved visual overload when looking at networks, only displaying outlines when holding a wrench.

# Bug Fixes

• Fixed items dropping on the ground during deconstruction — Bees now extract container contents and copycat panel materials before breaking blocks, preventing onRemove from scattering items
• Fixed item duplication in drop-off — Player inventory fallback no longer duplicates partial stacks when inventory.add() partially succeeds
• Fixed bees drifting away during spring recharge — Flight separation offset is now disabled while the bee is stationary and recharging
• Fixed portable beehive filling to 100% fuel when placed in the Curios back slot (creative auto-fill removed)
• Fixed client-side network desync — One of 4 chained beehives would always appear in a separate network on the client. Beehives now register with the client network manager on load regardless of power state, and the periodic sync recovers orphaned components

# Improvements

• Phase-gated deconstruction — Dependent/brittle blocks (torches, buttons, rails, belts, etc.) are now removed in a separate phase before solid support blocks, preventing drops from broken attachments even with parallel bees
• Bees spawn and return above the player's head instead of at eye level, no longer blocking the player's vision
• Bee entities refactored to PathfinderMob for improved navigation and aerial movement

v1.1.0

New Features

• External Schematic Browser — Browse, search, and download schematics from createmod.com directly in-game. Includes detailed schematic viewer with WebP thumbnail previews.
• Job Detail Screen — Right-click a construction job's bounding box to view live progress, status, batch info, and cancel the job.
• Crafting Recipes & Advancements — Added recipes for Construction Planner, Deconstruction Planner, and Drop Items. Added corresponding advancements.
• Portable Beehive Integration — Bees can now work from portable beehives carried in a backpack, tracking the player's position.

Improvements

• Schematic Ghost Preview — Refactored ghost block rendering for better performance and scalability when previewing large schematics.
• Beehive Range Rendering — Improved mechanical beehive range visualization.
• Bee Task Behaviors — Enhanced drop-off logic and item gathering. Bees handle edge cases more gracefully (stuck detection, orphan recovery, hive entry retries).
• Stale Component Purging — Bee networks now detect and clean up ghost components that weren't properly unregistered.
• Performance Improvements — Optimized rendering paths and network operations.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed construction rotation/mirror being lost when using Create's rotate/mirror tools before clicking Construct.
• Fixed cancel button in Job Detail Screen sometimes not responding to clicks.
• Fixed browser keybind (B) queuing up presses and instantly opening the UI when switching to the Construction Planner.
• Fixed Logistics Port ponder scene: resolved warning on last instruction and fixed text/icon clipping.
