Passive Ability icons which can be seen above the hotbar, or bottom right next to the hotbar on mobile. These icons are for Haste Pulser, Coconut Haste Surge, Ignite, X-Flame, and Emergency Coconut Shield.
Passive Abilities, or simply passives are effects found on some accessories, amulets, or bees. These abilities are active all the time or only activate when specific actions are done, as an additional effect of those actions.
Passive abilities granted by an accessory or an amulet are displayed near the hotbar. Some passive abilities require the player to do the same action multiple times, as shown by the number displayed on the passive's icon, indicating how close it is to activating the ability. When the ability is activated, the number will reset to 0.
Some passive abilities have a cooldown. When in cooldown, the number of seconds left will be displayed on the passive's icon in pale red. No trigger will activate the ability, nor will the trigger counter be increased. These passive abilities also have an initial cooldown when the player equips items that have those passives to prevent bypassing the cooldown.

Trivia
- There is a visual glitch where, if the player has the Fire, Honey, Bubble, Demon, Gummy, or Diamond Mask equipped, looking at it through the coconut shield will make the front of the mask disappear. This is caused by glass textures overriding particles and transparent parts.
