Infested: Swarms and Spiders

What's the Buzz?

This update adds some content relating to bees, as well as a new set of tools, the Swarm Cells.

New Items

• Bee Eggs - Obtainable occasionally by killing bees, breaking beehives or bee nests, or by harvesting honeycombs. Also obtainable by brewing Silverfish Eggs with a honeycomb. When used, they will spawn 1-2 bee minions that will last for a short time.

• Swarm Cell - Obtainable by crafting bee eggs, honeycomb, and a bee nest. This item acts as a reusable source of minion mobs from this mod. Using it normally will spawn a number of minion mobs that will last until they die, or until you dismiss them by using the Swarm Cell on one of them. By crouch-using the item, you can set it to an 'automatic' mode that will slowly replenish your minions. The default Swarm Cell will produce bees, but you can craft it with other items to get variations that will produce spiders or silverfish. In the future, this may be expanded to some entities from other mods.

Each variation of swarm cell has a maximum number of minions you can have summoned at a time. If you try to use it to summon more while at your maximum, it will fail to activate, even if the minions you currently have out are from another type of swarm cell item.

New Enchantment

Conjured Swarm - A unique enchantment for the Swarm Cell items, that can be obtained through an enchanting table (if it doesn't show up, try enchanting something else and then returning.) Causes a Swarm Cell to use your experience points to spawn entities, rather than its own durability, so long as you have more than one level of experience.

New Mobs

Bee Minions - Their attacks deal more damage than spider minions, and they inflict poison II for a short time on attack, but they die immediately after attacking.

Attack Bees - Obtainable by dispensing bee eggs from a dispenser. They will target anything they perceive as a threat, including players. They die upon attacking, and inflict poison II for a short time.

Other Additions

• Added a crafting recipe for the Bee Nest using bee eggs.
• Added a new crafting recipe for Bug Stew using bee eggs.
• Spider minions dying should no longer occasionally create glitched cobweb traps.
