Minecraft keeps improving even when players think the game developers have done enough. The latest of these improvements is the java 1.18 update. Among other things, it comes with honeycombs and honey blocks added to make exploration more fun. You might be wondering what pragmatic benefit the honeycomb addon is. Well, Minecraft honeycomb material can be used in a number of ways, from using it to wax on copper materials to prevent oxidation, creating blocks for building, and candle production, to treating poisons. You can obtain honeycombs from bee nests or beehives from level 5. You obviously can’t do any of these without harvesting the honeycomb from the beehive, which is what we intend to show in this article.
To get a honeycomb in Minecraft, you first have to locate a wild beehive. Do not begin till you have shears and a campfire with you. The main obstacles you will be facing are the bees, who tend to get aggressive when their hive is messed with. To prevent getting life-threatening stings, place the campfire under the hive before anything else. Bee stings in Minecraft are known to kill players in 20 to 30 seconds, so we do not need to remind you of how important safety is in the entire honeycomb harvesting process. Other characters to avoid are animals, monster mobs, and Minecraft village dwellers who wouldn’t appreciate their village being exposed to invasion by bees from your honey extraction exploits.
Minecraft honeycombs: How to harvest
Simply position your campfire under the hive and wait for a few moments before getting to work with your shears. The smoke from the campfire naturally sedates the bees, or at least, most of them. You can use a dispenser to make things faster by quickly dropping the honeycomb from the shears into them. You can also create your beehive by the way. All you will need is to get 6 wooden planks and three pieces of honeycomb. Using flower pollen, you will have to lure the bees to your artificial hive. You can also get them to breed and produce more honey using the same flower pollens. That shouldn’t be too difficult we hope.
Honeycombs are handy materials in Minecraft and every player should have some. We believe more uses for the material, in addition to the many available ones, will be added with new upgrades. Share this info with friends and keep in touch for more tips on Minecraft honeycombs.
