Fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
honeycomb	honeycombRegistryData	No	---	Honeycomb item/block registration data. The name field is read separately by HoneycombSetup to override the filename-derived honeycomb name; RegistryData itself receives that name as a codec point.
variations	array	No	[]	Output variations registered from this honeycomb file.

Runtime notes

tradeData has an important omitted-vs-explicit distinction: omitting the entire field uses the serializer's non-tradable zero-valued default, while an explicit empty object uses the TradeData codec's normal field defaults.

For output variations, identifier should be treated as required. Hive comb mappings are normalized at runtime, and some apiary defaults depend on configuration rather than JSON alone.

Schema and template

The source files used for this page are included in the reference/ directory:

• resourcefulbees-honeycomb-template.json

• resourcefulbees-honeycomb.schema.json

The schema is the machine-readable reference. Runtime notes document codec or game behavior that JSON Schema cannot fully express.
