Overview

Bee Nest is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Bee Nest.

On the hardness scale Bee Nest sits at 0.3. Explosives face the same figure, which is why Bee Nest is not a wall you rely on. An axe is the right tool for Bee Nest, and any tier of it collects the block.

How to Obtain

  • Natural generation

Notes

Cannot be crafted. Generates on trees in plains, flower forests, cherry groves and similar biomes; only drops itself when mined with a Silk Touch tool.
