Forestry Bees Inspired Addon for Slimefun 4

SlimyBees

SlimyBees is a Slimefun4 addon heavily inspired by the bee portion of the famous MC mod, Forestry. It adds many bee species which can be discovered, bred and used to produce various materials. The productivity of each bee is also determined by its allele values, which can be improved by selective breeding, offering a fun mini-game for the endgame stages.

Features

Features currently include:

• Bee Hive world generation
• The ability to breed bees to discover new species
• Basic set of species (mainly honey production for now)

slimybees's Issues

Bees in the Bee Atlas are not correctly sorted (insertion order)

Because I used a Hashmap the bees are not sorted correctly

Update README

Create release README

Update README & maybe also create a few wiki pages

CheatSheetSlimefunGuide Bee Atlas

BeeAtlas category is not shown when the Slimefun guide is in "cheatsheet" mode.

Effect chromosome

Works in the bounding box determined by the bee's range chromosome.
Can do stuff like add potion effect or start fires on blocks in the range.

Add Princesses and Drones

Use Dependency Injection instead of static methods in the plugin class

Update to Java 16

Display nesting and a few base bees in the BeeAtlas without the need to be discovered first

This allows newer players to easily get into the basics of SlimyBees without having to search around the internet

• Mark all nesting bees as discovered (or add a condition if a bee is considered nesting)
• Add ways to obtain common and probably also cultivated species to the BeeAtlas as well

Add sounds (and maybe effects) to BeeHives

block.beehive.enter when a breeding process starts
block.beehive.exit when a breeding process ends successfully
block.beehive.work sometimes when a breeding process is underway

definitely add a config option to turn this off

brainstorm ideas for effects/particles (also configurable because of performance)

Add colorful bees

With the increasing number of species, it would be preferable if the CustomSkulls of bees weren't all the same.
At the very least, add an extra skull for Princess (with a crown possibly).
The next step would be having a skull for each ChatColor.
The ideal solution would be to have a model for every species.

Since min api version is 1.16 now, use RGB for names as well (gradient support too)

Range and Plant chromosomes

Plant chromosome defines what plant needs to be within range of the hive for the bee to be able to breed/work.
Range chromosome defines the number of blocks in each direction from the hive (excluding top/bottom) where the bee will look for the plant.

Obtaining bees in pre-generated worlds

Probably a chance to spawn a bee when a tree is grown

Seems simple for forest/meadows. BUT would it make sense for Stone/Sandy/other species?
Or just make it biome-dependent...

Prefix all SlimefunItemStacks with "sb_" to prevent ID conflicts

Add a non-electric Beealyzer

Intended for the early game.

Option 1: crafted using a comb and has only a few uses
Option 2: must be "charged" using honey

Clicking on the error item in BeeHive GUI should reset the WaitingOperation

Players should have the option to manually restart the breeding process check.

Lime border in the IndustrialBeeHive is clickable

Frame border glass panes are missing the empty click handler

Bees obtained from /sf give are neither unknown nor analyzed

Bees obtained by using /sf give should be analyzed already

BeeAtlas shows wrong product chance

If the chance for a product is less than 1%, the BeeAtlas detail page will always show 1%.
The same goes for other decimal percentages (such as 1.3, 66.6, etc)

The solution probably is to show extra decimal places IF they're necessary (as little as needed) if that is easy and nice to implement, otherwise probably ignore decimals when percentage > 1 and when percentage < 1 show "<1%"

Bees can be removed mid-crafting in a BeeBreeder

Bees can be removed mid-crafting and the process will still finish but not consume anything

Bee Atlas Category should actually be called "Bee Atlas"

The Bee Atlas category in the Slimefun guide is currently called "Slimy Bees - Bees"

Tome of Discovery Sharing

Because some things are (and will be) locked behind having discovered certain species, it would make sense to have a way to share discoveries between players.

Should be decently expensive, probably using pollen / royal jelly in the crafting recipe.

Update to Slimefun version RC-27

A lot of breaking changes

BeeAtlas shows no product chance for specific products

If a bee produces a product, which has no item meta, no product chance will be displayed in the BeeAtlas detail page.

Custom genes per species

Each species should be a little different from other species (meaning different chromosome values)
End-game species should carry more important genes such as low/very_high fertility / very good productivity / etc.

Add sonarcloud integration

SlimyBees category does not need to be multi-level

There is only one category, it doesn't make sense to have to click one more times than is necessary.
Remove the top-level category and just rename this "general" one to "SlimyBees"

Bee Storage

Could be like a terminal where you can filter all bees by chromosome and its value, probably multiple at once
Should be quite expensive because of the convenience

Add SlimyBees to Cookie's builds

Stop/Restart the process when a princess/drone slot is clicked

Currently, the beehive removes the ingredients at the end and if some are missing, no outputs are produced.
As Sefi pointed out, this is quite weird.
A better way would be to reset the progress when the ingredients are clicked.

Make sure that there is no way to remove the items without the progress resetting, that would be really bad. (collect to cursor and all the other options)

Auto Updater

Figure out how it works and implement (for both dev and release branches in the future)

Skulls of enchanted bee species do not have the enchanted glow

Add advanced hive / alveary and frames

Secret species

Will be broadcasted as obfuscated text in #40 if the player hasn't discovered the species yet
Either not visible in the bee atlas before discovering or shown as an unknown skull item with text like "Secret" or something

Bee Production

Add a centrifuge
Finish implementing Hives and the production of Bee items

Mutation Frames

Add frames that increase the chance for a mutation to happen

Add BeeAtlas and Discoveries

When analyzing a bee it is marked as discovered

A book containing all of the bee species
On click shows information about that species if discovered
Barrier or something if not discovered

Includes info about how to breed (parents and chance) and items it produces

Make alleles configurable & extendable by other addons

Add an ongoing cost to AutoHive and IndustrialHive

Add a broadcast message when someone discovers a species for the first time

"The player {p} is the first to discover the {species} species!" (+ some fancy colors)
make sure to not include discoveries made by a command, only natural ones

Different colored blocks for bee nests

All bee nests currently look similar, it would be nice if they could be somehow differentiated
Possibly glazed terracotta or shulkers

Add Metrics (bStats)

Extra Bees

Vanilla materials
Slimefun materials

Lifespan chromosome

The duration of the breeding process will be dependent on the lifespan chromosome value.
Can be further shortened/lengthened by frames.
