Description:
Villages Alive — The Apiary lets you summon a fully built, self-managing apiary with a single block placement. The build includes cherry trees, decorative flowers, copper lanterns, eight working beehives, and a dedicated humanoid beekeeper named Nectar Ned who harvests honey and manages on-site storage — all generated automatically and oriented to face the direction you choose.
| Content | Description |
|---|---|
| Apiary Placement Block | Craftable consumable block that triggers the apiary build when placed |
| The Apiary Structure | A 26×33×32 lot with four cherry trees, pink petals, wildflowers, copper lanterns, and eight beehives on oak plank bases |
| Nectar Ned | A passive, damage-immune humanoid beekeeper who harvests and stores honey |
When the placement block is used, the mod clears a large lot and builds a complete apiary oriented to match the direction you were facing:
Nectar Ned is a humanoid beekeeper who spawns in the apiary a few seconds after it is generated. He carries shears and runs the entire harvesting operation on his own.
The Apiary Placement Block is crafted at a crafting table. Having a honeycomb or a beehive in your inventory will unlock the recipe in the recipe book.
In Survival mode, breaking an Apiary Placement Block before placing it will drop the block back as an item. In Creative mode it drops nothing.
Download the mod and follow the step-by-step installation guide.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally a farmer that is useful! Seed Sack Seth will harvest and replant your farm with Sugarcane, Cactus, Potatoes, Carrots, and wheat. Just place the Farmhouse Block to auto-clear and flatten an 11×9 oak farmhouse 10 blocks ahead of you and instantly spawn a fully stocked, survival-ready farm—complete Five seconds after generation a persistent decorative NPC named Seed Sack Seth appears in the yard to be your farm worker that idles while waiting for the crops to grow and then harvest and places them in the chests surrounding the farm. When the chests are full he will begin composting the overflow and putting the Bone Meal in the chest by the composter.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally Woodsman Wade is here! The Woodsman adds a craftable Woodsman's Lodge Marker block that, when placed, clears and levels a 35×35 area (up to 20 blocks tall), reinforces the subsoil, lays grass and constructs a ready-to-use rustic 7×9 lumberjack hut with a stocked chest filled with diamond axes, interior and exterior lanterns, a stone-brick apron and walkway, and an oak-fence perimeter with a birch gate. Five seconds after placement Woodsman Wade appears on the front walkway with a diamond axe and follows a fixed clockwise circuit two blocks beyond his spawn, running a repeating three-pass routine that plants a fixed sequence of saplings, bone-meals them to full trees, then fells and collects wood, 5% of leaf blocks, sticks and apples and deposits his haul into the exterior chests, idling if all chests are full. Wade is non-hostile, completely immune to all sources of damage (including fire and knockback) and is ignored by other mobs, so he will never be hurt or targeted while continuing his planting, growing and harvesting cycle; simply craft and place the marker to start.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally a villager that is useful! Meet Pickaxe Pete, the miner with one sole purpose... dig, dig, dig! As long as you are within the chunk he is, he will be mining and bringing you the mats you need for crafting, building, and decorating. Everything he mines will be placed in chests beside the house and as he gets one full, he will place another. Place the Creative-only Miner marker to clear a large squared work zone (ground level up to 20 blocks high) centered on the chosen house footprint and instantly spawn a Miner’s house facing the player's direction with foundation, walls, torches, a stocked chest, and a usable red bed; the addon also prebuilds eight identical 14×14 quarries arranged in a balanced square ring around the house with a continuous cobblestone compound path connecting the house to every mine. Five seconds after the house finishes building Pickaxe Pete appears with an indestructible diamond pickaxe and begins automated quarrying, depositing mined resources into the chests beside the house. Pete is invulnerable, works one mine at a time in a fixed clockwise order locked to the house rotation, stops each quarry at y = -58, and only seals immediate exposed openings or hazards so he behaves like a quarry worker rather than a cave explorer. Only after a mine is truly complete will he move on to the next one.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally Fishfry Fritz is here! This mod adds a craftable Fisherman Village Anchor block that, when placed, clears a 35×35×20 area and instantly generates a detailed fisherman’s courtyard: a stone-brick patio with a centered 9×9 pool six blocks deep lit by sea lanterns and planted with seagrass, raised borders, barrels, fences, a birch gate with spruce hedges, interior spruce trees with hidden lanterns, storage chests and recoverable Anchor loot. The pond is visually stocked with decorative cod, salmon and pufferfish that behave like normal Bedrock fish and respawn per structure. Five seconds after the build Fishfry Fritz spawns to fish for you, he stands and fishes at a fixed spot, follows a waypoint loop to deposit exactly one catch per trip into chests (right-to-left chest priority), idles when storage is full, wields a best‑enchanted rod, is invulnerable and ignored by hostile mobs. To use, craft and place the Fisherman Village Anchor to generate the courtyard and watch Fritz maintain the pond and store his catches.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally, Courier Carl is here to make pickups from the other workers in the Villages Alive series! Place the block to instantly spawn a 40×20 stone‑brick Storage House ten blocks in front of you. Five seconds after the house finishes building, Courier Carl appears five blocks in front of the door. There is also an completely empty attic if you need more room so you can fill it with chests to expand Carl's workspace. A Chest Pickup Marker item (available in the Creative inventory) lets you squat and mark any supported chest by using the tool on it; each marked chest is added to a first-in, first-out pickup queue (duplicate marks are prevented) so marked locations are saved and serviced in the exact order they were marked. When Carl services a marked chest he teleports instantly to the chest, waits exactly two seconds while collecting all its contents, then teleports back inside the Storage House and deposits items into the storage chests using stable category grouping (stone with stone, logs with logs, planks with planks, food with food, decoration with decoration, tools, redstone, plants, etc.), always filling the far back-right chest first and preferring to merge into existing matching stacks before opening new chests—sorting and chest selection are deterministic, repeatable, and robust so no marked chest is skipped, duplicated, or loses items.
