Bee Queen and Gigantic Beehive

Ports the Bee Queen[dontstarve.wiki.gg] boss and the Gigantic Beehive[dontstarve.wiki.gg] world mechanic from Don’t Starve Together into Don’t Starve single-player.

The encounter, loot flow, and overall behaviour closely follow DST, with balance adjustments tailored for single-player.

---

• After the first world load, a Gigantic Beehive (Bee Queen hive) is spawned near an existing Beehive. It has its own minimap icon.
• Spawn selection prefers regions with a higher density of beehives (clustered hive areas).

---

• The Gigantic Beehive can be hammered repeatedly for honey.
• Occasionally drops Honeycomb.
• Pushing your luck too far will awaken the Bee Queen and start the fight.

---

• Summons Grumble Bees as defensive minions.
• Uses kite-style melee combat similar to bees.
• Leaves splurts of sticky honey on the ground while moving.
• Balanced for single-player: reduced health compared to DST (2250 HP)

---

• Drops Honeycomb and Royal Jelly.
• Royal Jelly can be cooked into Jellybeans.
• Drops the Bee Queen Crown, a powerful head item.

• With SHIP (Shipwrecked) or HAM (Hamlet) enabled:
  • While worn, it converts any Sanity drain auras into half as much sanity gain (DST behaviour)
• Without SHIP/HAM:
  • Sanity-aura reversal is replaced with simple sanity regeneration.

---

• Optional setting to add a custom minimap icon for the Bee Queen.
• Can be enabled or disabled in the mod options. Disabled by default.

---

• Required: at least Reign of Giants (RoG)
• Recommended: Shipwrecked (SHIP) or Hamlet (HAM) for full crown functionality

The Jellybeans recipe supports the Craft Pot mod, which you can see in the screenshots

---

• The mod aims to replicate DST behaviour while keeping the encounter fair in DS single-player.
• Tested extensively, but if you encounter crashes or bugs, please report them with a log.txt pastebin link.
