Bees Are Summons!

Summon the Swarm: Bees Are Summons! Mod for tModLoader

Are you a dedicated Summoner in tModLoader who feels the early and mid-game weapon choices are a little… stingy? While other classes boast an arsenal of powerful tools, Summoners often find themselves waiting for more potent options. The “Bees Are Summons!” mod aims to rectify this imbalance, finally giving Summoners the respect they deserve by integrating bee and wasp-themed weaponry into their core progression.

Leveling the Playing Field

The core philosophy behind “Bees Are Summons!” is simple: make the Queen Bee’s coveted loot truly beneficial for those who specialize in summoning minions. This mod ensures that the potent bee and wasp-based weapons, often overlooked by Summoner players, now scale appropriately with summoner gear. This creates a much smoother and more satisfying leveling curve, bridging the gap between early-game summons and the challenges of Hardmode.

Key Features to Enhance Your Swarm

This comprehensive mod doesn’t just make a few minor tweaks; it fundamentally reworks how bee and wasp-themed items function for Summoners. Key features include:

• Unified Damage Conversion: All weapons and projectiles associated with bees and wasps are converted to deal Summon Damage. This ensures they synergize perfectly with your existing summoner accessories and armor.
• Intelligent Bow Mechanics: The unique “The Bee’s Knees” bow dynamically adjusts its damage type. Fire standard Wooden Arrows, and it unleashes a swarm of summon-damaging bees. However, when using special arrows, it intelligently reverts to its Ranged Damage to maintain versatility.
• True Swarm Synergy: The mod goes beyond just equipped weapons. Projectiles fired by actual bees and wasps are modified to deal summon damage. This means even bees spawned dynamically from accessories like the Honey Comb or Stinger Necklace will benefit from your summoner build.
• Empowered Bee Armor: Donning the complete vanilla Bee Armor set now grants an enhanced set bonus. Both the Bee Gun and Wasp Gun will consume zero mana, and “The Bee’s Knees” will use zero Wooden Arrows, allowing for relentless swarm deployment.

Unleash the Power of the Hive

The “Bees Are Summons!” mod affects a variety of iconic weapons, including the Bee Keeper, Bee Gun, Wasp Gun, Hive-Five, The Bee’s Knees, and Beenades. By bringing these under the Summoner’s damage umbrella, the mod provides a much-needed power boost and a thematic expansion for those who command legions of creatures. Prepare to unleash a relentless swarm upon your foes and experience tModLoader as a true master of the hive!
