Why isn’t my little aesthetically pleasing bee farm working, does smoke have to be touching the beehive all the time?

Why isn't my little aesthetically pleasing bee farm working, does smoke have to be touching the beehive all the time?


I'm gonna be real l'm not quite a fan of having a open campfire right under the beehive, i don't want the bees killing themselves on the fire

It doesn't look very nice either.With the smoke constantly there, i'm not a fan of that, so I put it two blocks underneath the beehive, with a trap door that I can open and close it so they aren't constantly being smoked out, but it seems even when the smoke particles physically touch the beehive, even when it passes through an open trap. Door it just doesn't count, and they still get mad.

    >…or a lit campfire within five blocks below, and the smoke is not obstructed. Smoke can pass through no more than one solid block, and only if that block is directly above the campfire.

    Try raising the campfire one block I think. It’s not clear where it’s at from the video.

    Like somebody else replied in the other comment thread, you could use sticky pistons that trigger through the pressure plate, just make sure the fire is still 5 blocks or less underneath

    My suggestion would be to use a redstone setup, with dispensers. One for lighting the campfire with flint & steel, and one for extinguishing the campfire with bucket of water. So you walk on the pressure plate, the dispenser lights the campfire, you harvest, and when you step off the pressure plate, the water dispenser extinguishes the campfire. That’s the best solution I have to handling it, to have the no smoke aesthetic, and have the lit campfire/smoke while harvesting. you will have to stock the lighter dispensers with several flint & steel, as they wear out, but should do the trick.

    I think you can put the lighter dispenser directly below the pressure plate, facing the campfire, and then the water dispenser below the campfire facing up. so the dispensers are almost completely hidden. I would have to do a little digging to see how to wire up the redstone to trigger the water dispenser when you step off, but it would likely be with an observer facing up at the lighter dispenser, with an inverted signal.

    Or maybe you just create a short timer setup, giving yourself enough time to harvest before it automatically extinguishes the campfire. so the pressure plate triggers the lighter, redstone timer starts, and after a few seconds, triggers the extinguisher dispenser.

    You’ll just need to play with these ideas and look at youtube tuts for how-to. but that would be my plan if I were trying to make it happen.
