Honey

See also: Guide:Making Liquid

Honey is a liquid found at the bottom of Bee Hives within the Underground Jungle. It is also sometimes created when players mine Hive blocks. Honey flows even more slowly than Lava, and it also greatly slows the movement speed of submerged players (items like the Fishron Wings can counter this effect). Like other liquids, Honey can be transported via Buckets or Pumps.

Honey has the unique effect of granting submerged players the Honey life regeneration buff, which lasts for as long as they remain submerged, plus 30 seconds after leaving. The buff increases the rate at which player Health regenerates.

Crafting

An example of honey (together with water and lava) placed to be used as a crafting station. Notice the Crystal Ball above them.

Like Water and Lava, honey can be used as a minor crafting station. It works just like those two; in order to use it the player only has to stand nearby. Creation of items from a body of honey does not lower the honey level at all.

Notes

• Unlike water, Honey can exist in The Underworld.
• Honey greatly reduces visibility compared to water, even when lit with multiple Torches.
• Honey makes you visible to all enemies on the screen.

Tips

• Honey is subject to all the infinite replication methods
• Since Honey can exist in The Underworld, a player could use an infinite replication method to flood The Underworld and provide safe (albeit slow without water-walking or something like Fishron Wings) passage without having to worry about falling into lava or spending extra time and effort building bridges over lava pools. This also makes a pool of honey a viable solution for a permanent safe landing zone at the bottom of a Hellevator.
• Honey can be invaluable while fighting the Queen Bee as the regeneration boost can protect weaker players. In conjunction with Heart Lanterns (if obtained) and campfires the resulting regeneration boost can negate the need for the Band of regeneration freeing up an accessory slot.
