How to install Minecraft Data Packs

I think we all hate having to place down our bee nests and beehives and simply wait for a bee to pop out in order to determine if it even has any bees in the first place. I always wished there was a way to know how many bees are in a bee nest or beehive at any given time.

I made this datapack to solve that problem. Now, someone else already made a datapack that does this. However, their datapack, while useful, only tells you how many bees there are when you're holding the item in your hand. If it's anywhere else in your inventory, there's no way to tell.

As you can see from the screenshots above, my datapack instead adds Lore text to the item so that you can see how many bees are currently in the nest or hive just by mousing over it. On top of that, it also shows how much honey is in the hive.


Now, I've seen a few people who think that you should be able to see how many bees are in a player-made beehive, but not how many bees are in a naturally generated bee nest, for balance. If you want that, you can open up "data/hmb/functions/main.mcfunction" in a text editor and delete this line:
execute as @e[type=minecraft:item, tag=!counted, nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:bee_nest"}}] store result score @s beeCount run data get entity @s Item.tag.BlockEntityTag.Bees

Anyway, that's about it. Once again, it's a very simple datapack, but it adds a feature that I consider essential.

No. Are you sure you installed it correctly?

Also try typing /function and checking the autofill list. Does it contain "hmb:main"?

I just found an issue with it where it wouldn't show the correct amount of honey and fixed it. I don't know if it was the exact same problem you were having, but try it now.

i tried this data pack and it works great, does what its supposed too. if i can make a suggestion... i would love to be able to see how many bees there are using the F3 screen, as in where its says what block im looking at (on the right side). not sure if this is possible as i believe your using the "lore tag"
I think this would be a great addition, and probably would be helpful to those who use the mod WAILA or similar mods that tell you what your looking at (i personally cant use mods since i cant get forge to work on linux)

Yeah, it's not possible to edit the information shown on the F3 screen with a datapack. I believe it already tells you how much honey is in the hive, cause that's part of the BlockStateTag, but it can't show any info from the BlockEntityTag, which is what stores the bees.

Can you add the amount of honey information just like the data pack present in Voodoo Packs?

So, if I open the zip file in windows explorer it shows empty, but with 7zip it's ok. Sorry for the misunderstood
