📋 About This Mod
Adds beeswax from hives and wild nests. Coat wood pieces to keep rain and water off
Adds beeswax from player beehives and wild nests. Equip it and coat wood, hardwood, and wood iron pieces to keep rain and standing water from wearing them down.
What you get
-
[]Beeswax — a heavy lump of wax from the hive. Stacks to 30 by default.[/]
[]Player beehives — produce beeswax alongside honey, about 30% slower. Each cycle gives 2 wax (up to 10 stored in the hive).[/]
[]Wild nests — breaking a world-spawned bee nest drops 1 beeswax.[/]
[]Waterproofing — equip beeswax, look at a coatable piece, and left-click to apply. Costs 1 wax per piece. Works on wood, hardwood, and wood iron poles/beams.[/]
[]Waxed look — waxed pieces can show a warm glossy tint (on by default). Turn visuals off in config to use hover labels instead.[/]
No crafting recipe — wax only comes from bees.
