Bomber Bee

Quickstart

1. Install the .mcaddon file and enable both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack for your world.
2. Bomber Bees spawn naturally in most overworld biomes (plains, forests, jungles, deserts, savannas, taiga, and more) during the day, in groups of 1–3.
3. To spawn one immediately, use the Bomber Bee Spawn Egg (dark grey with gold spots) from the Creative inventory, or run /summon com_bomber_bee_wz42cjq2:mybee.
4. Place the bee near hostile mobs and watch it patrol the skies — when it detects a monster, it will rise high above and begin bombing it.

Overview

The Bomber Bee is a mechanical flying mob that acts as an aerial guardian against hostile mobs. It cruises the skies on patrol, and the moment it spots a monster within range it switches into combat mode: climbing high overhead and raining down explosive charges that hurt mobs without damaging any blocks or terrain. Once the threat is gone, it returns to its calm patrol.

How To Use

Natural Spawning

Bomber Bees spawn automatically in the following biomes during daylight hours on Easy through Hard difficulty:

• Plains, Forest, Birch Forest, Dark Forest (Roofed)
• Jungle, Desert, Savanna, Taiga

They appear in small groups of 1 to 3. Because they use the monster population pool, they won't overcrowd passive mob spawning.

Manual Spawning

Use the Bomber Bee Spawn Egg from the Creative inventory, or run:

/summon com_bomber_bee_wz42cjq2:mybee

Abilities And Mechanics

Patrol Mode

When no threats are detected, the Bomber Bee hovers and drifts randomly at heights of 6–12 blocks above the ground, slowly scanning the area within a 24-block radius.

Combat Mode

Once a hostile mob enters detection range (up to 24 blocks), the Bomber Bee:

1. Locks on to the target and transitions into combat.
2. Circles high above the enemy, positioning itself 8–14 blocks directly overhead.
3. Drops explosive charges every 3–5 seconds — these projectiles damage mobs on impact but are non-destructive: they deal no block damage to the terrain, structures, or the environment.
4. If the threat escapes or is defeated, the Bomber Bee returns to patrol.

Self-Defense

If attacked, the Bomber Bee will prioritise its attacker. It panics and flees when set on fire, resuming normal behavior after a short time.

Drops And Loot

Bomber Bees drop mechanical scrap and salvage when killed. Looting enchantments improve most drop quantities.

Progression And Strategy

• Use Bomber Bees as natural defenders. Build near biomes where they spawn and let them patrol around hostile mob spawners or dark areas — they'll engage zombies, skeletons, creepers, and other monsters automatically.
• Don't worry about collateral damage. The Bomber Bee's explosive charges are block-safe, so you can let them fight next to your builds without fear.
• Farm them for materials. With a Looting sword you can collect a solid supply of iron, copper, gunpowder, redstone, and the rarer observer or gold ingot drops. Honeycomb and gold ingots are exclusive to player kills, so it's worth fighting them yourself rather than letting other mobs finish them off.
• Leash them. Bomber Bees can be leashed, letting you anchor one near your base as a stationary air-defense unit.
• Watch your fire. They panic and scatter when burning, so fire-based strategies will disrupt their targeting temporarily.
