Better Beehives

Rewarding your beekeeping efforts in Valheim!

This mod is a very simple expansion to the beehive system in Valheim. It gives player-made beehives a configurable chance to drop a queen bee when the honey is harvested. Additionally, if a queen bee is harvested, you may also find some royal jelly in the hive as well.

Why would this mod be useful?

  • There are a finite number of beehives in a Valheim world, and these are the only source of queen bees.
  • Servers with a lot of players have no way to generate additional queen bees, meaning all players may not have enough.
  • This mod fixes this issue and allows you to get queen bees from your beekeeping activities.

Configuration

Configuration is extremely simple.

Queen Bee Drop Chance

The value set is the chance that a queen bee will drop when the hive is at its maximum honey level.

Example: Setting the value to 0.2 (20%) means that a queen bee has a 20% chance to drop when you harvest 4 honey. If there is less honey in the hive, the probability will be scaled down based on how much honey is in the hive.

Chance of Queen Bee when harvesting = (Amount of Honey / Maximum Honey Level) x Chance of Queen Bee when hive is full

So in our above example, if the beehive had 3 honey in when harvested, the probability of getting a queen would be 15%.

Royal Jelly Drop Chance

Whenever a queen bee is harvested, this value sets the chance that you will also receive royal jelly.

Royal Jelly Drop Attempts

This is how many times the royal jelly will be attempted to spawn, with equal probability of success depending on Royal Jelly Drop Chance.
