Magic Bees & Thaumcraft 4

[lady2beetle]

Good morning!

Short question: Do the MagicBees species work for modpacks with Thaumcraft 4?

Longer version: The public server I am playing on is using Thaumcraft 4 and MagicBees (2.1.11), among many other mods. I have been working on trying to get all of the bee species and have been using Gendustry's Advanced Mutatron. The mutatron was even able to give me the Easter Bee, so I assumed it was able to breed all bees, including the special requirements bees, but it has no recipe for Vis bees or anything after that.

I'm even more confused to find that there are several different 'recipes' for breeding the Vis bee on different wiki sites, which I'm assuming is because it changed with different versions of the mod, but all information on the thaumcraft bees that I have been able to find are in relation to Thaumcraft 3. Thus my question - can you breed the vis and other thaumcraft bees if you are using Thaumcraft 4?

In the longterm, I was hoping to breed the rejuvenating bee to restore the vis in my nodes... but maybe that's not possible? Does anyone have experience with this?

As a sidenote, I have researched everything that I can find in the MagicBees tab of my thaumonomicon.

Vis and Flux are concepts from Thaumcraft 3. Thaumcraft 4 uses similar, but different mechanics called Essence and - roughly - Taint. I don't know of a way to cause Thaumcraft 4 nodes to recharge faster. I just get/collect more nodes. They don't merge in TC4 the way they did in TC3.

I miss reju bee's, and also flux bees had so much fun with them.

Actually vis and flux both still exist, flux is the gas/goo that comes from infusion/crucibles while taint is the buildup of flux. Vis is inside the aura nodes while Essentia is used for Infusion Crafting and/or crucible crafting.
