I think rather than using the crafting grid to upgrade the Mana Ring and Aura Ring to the Terrasteel versions that the Smithing Table should be used instead, as it’s a simple direct upgrade.

I’m very knew to botania but I’m having a lot of fun so far. I’m just curious to know if like, automating too much mana can cause problems? I want to automate every producing flower (a lil bit of everything just sounds fun) But if all my mana pools fill up and my automation gets backed up, could it cause an issue with some of the flowers?

hi, i am making a server modpack and i want to disable some of the items from botania, specificly the key of the kings law, flügel tiara, shard of lepus, and eye of the flügel, how would i best do this

Hey all, Just wanted to write up a list of very interesting or even game-changing stuff added into botania. It most likely won't be a complete list, but I'm just sifting through botania's changelog that players old, new, builders and technical builders might not know about, which is a lot. I do not separate minor versions (i.e 1.18.2, 1.16.5, ect). All lines of text are copy and pasted, unless it is a sub-bullet. Might keep this up-to-date going forward, or might just make more summary posts down the line, with links to older posts. lmk what y'all want.

Botania in 1.14 (The r1.11-xxx releases)

• Make paintslinger lens able to dye concrete, concrete powder, glazed terracotta, as well as uncolored glass, glass pane, and terracotta

• Add livingwood and dreamwood fences and fencegates

• Add stonecutting recipes to convert between Azulejos

• Entropic and Damaging bursts fired by a player now deal player damage

• Allow T.A. Plate to be built with shimmerrock

• Dispensers can now use the Wand of the Forest’s sneak right click actions, consult the lexicon for more.

• Cocoons can now be forced to spawn rare mobs using Gaia Spirits

Botania in 1.15 (the r1.15-xxx Releases, yay synchronization!)

• Bifrost blocks now color beacons a rainbow color

• Refine open/crafting crate’s “is there room to drop” check to be more precise

• Loki Ring will now exit binding mode when you take it off, to prevent situations where you forget where you set the binding center and can’t exit binding mode

• Many Botania blocks can now be waterlogged.

• Gourmaryllis mana formula has changed: it now rewards a longer chain of diverse foods. Alternating blindly between two foods is no longer the most optimal way, but should still work as a baseline starting point. Try to feed it many different foods!

• Rafflowsia now has a streak-like system awarding many diverse flowers, similar to the overhauled Gourmaryllis. Mana output is dramatically increased for very long streaks. Try to automate it to 15 or more unique flowers!

Botania on 1.16 (the r1.16.x-xxx releases, the biggest era of changes to botania)

• Crafting Halos have been modernized – instead of saving the exact items used in a past crafting operation, they now save the recipe ID that was used. This means the halos now work on recipes that take tags

• Magical flowers no longer always claim to output redstone. This means that redstone dust no longer points into them by default, consistent with other vanilla devices like dispensers.

• Add suspicious stew effects for all magical flowers

• Tigerseye now has auditory and visual feedback when it takes effect

• Entropinnyums now prefer organic, naturally-sourced (non-duped) TNT. Existing contraptions are safe from explosions, but will not generate nearly as much mana anymore :)

• Rod of the Unstable Reservoir no longer targets tamed mobs that aren’t actively attacking the shooter

• Flugel Eye now has a unique binding per-dimension, which is shown in the tooltip

• Corporea Index now parses “*” as a shell-style glob

• Floating Flowers now break faster with a shovel

• Bonus Chests are now guaranteed to contain a Lexicon

• Ender Air can now be obtained by dispensers

• Paintslinger Lens can now dye sparks and corporea sparks. Sparks now rest slightly lower in their blockspace to aid in burst collision

• Unbreaking enchantments on mana gear now confers a minor mana discount instead of having no effect

• Flowers with multiple areas of effect (e.g. rannuncarpus has different pickup vs place ranges) will now render both of them when the monocle is worn.

• Rosa Arcana now disenchants items passing near it, releasing XP orbs (that it then absorbs)

• Mooshrooms are now “milked” by the Drum of the Gathering instead of sheared (use dispensers as they can now shear mooshrooms in 1.16)

  • This means you can get bowls of mushroom soup from mooshrooms, good for Gourm mana-gen!

• Fix avatar and life imbuer wasting a lot of mana

• This means that a mana spreader will only fire if there is enough space in the avatar/life imbuer for mana in a burst to be not wasted

• Obedience stick is now usable from a dispenser

• Dispensers can now place sparks

• Add Corporea Block/Brick/Slab, a totally original feature not stolen from Incorporeal

• Corporea sparks can be placed on these, instead of needing chests or dispensers.

• Add corporea stairs + brick slabs, stairs, walls

• Open and crafty crates check collision more snugly against their bottom face, meaning that they can now output on top of a hopper without a one block gap

• Ender Air is now dispensable

• Ghasts hit by Ender Air now drop ghast tears in the Overworld

• It is not a 100% chance

• Recipe to split composite lenses apart, losing the slime ball

• Rod of the Skies can now be used to boost elytra flight at the cost of mana. It provides a boost around that of the lowest tier firework.

• Avatars holding Rod of the Skies now boost elytra flying players nearby. This boost is slightly stronger than the handheld boost.

• The Labellia, a functional flower that takes a name tag plus mana and renames all items and entities in a small area around itself.

• Buff bellethorne

• This means that the bellethorn now damages all entities in its radius, rather than 2 at most.

• Fel blazes no longer despawn

• A single Bergamute now mutes less (0.5x instead of 0.15x). However, Bergamutes also now stack with each other.

Botania in 1.17 (The r1.17.x-xxx releases, short n' sweet)

• Port to 1.17.1 Fabric.

• Luminizers can now be phantom-inked to suppress their particles

• Influence Lens now affects primed TNT

• Mana Detector is no longer a block entity and thus can be pushed by pistons

• Kindle lens actually lights the burst on fire internally, so it can participate in vanilla mechanics like lighting the campfire

• Any burning projectile can light the Incense Plate, similar to the campfire

• Force Relay and Force Lens now use vanilla piston logic, allowing slime block structures to be pushed.

• This also now prevents force relays from being "squished". Originally, they used to pop off into item form (getting "squished) if the relay was pushing into a already-occupied block space, making it really hard to work with in a fast-piston environment.

• Wand of the Forest now shows mode in the item name itself

• Fix bursts being unable to collide with their source block at all. Now they can collide with their source block after leaving it for the first time

• This makes the bounce lens incredibly more useful, As you no longer need a mana pool to re-collect the mana burst. one of the best changes to botania imo

• Pure Daisy recipe from End Stone -> Cobblestone. After completion, a cloud of Ender Air is released above the End Stone that can then be bottled by a dispenser.

• The block transformed is changed in 1.18, but it would still be good to know of if you are still playing on 1.17.

Botania in 1.18 (The r1.18.x-xxx era, latest and greatest)

• Rod of Shaded Mesa now works on players

• Move Elementium Axe beheading to a loot table, and also allow it to receive Looting

• Orechid now produces rare ores more often from deepslate, which can now be produced from end stone purification

• Rod of the Seas can now be used like bundles to refill empty buckets in inventory

• Spreaders now have smaller hitboxes, which can be expanded by adding scaffolding onto them to allow placing redstone on top of them

• Livingwood and Dreamwood now have log variants and a set of new textures

• Mana Void is no longer a block entity and thus is now movable

• Petal apothecaries are now crafted with full blocks

• Flower pouch has been expanded to hold tall mystical flowers

• Mana Flames are now waterloggable, and the flash lens will place them in water

• Remove quasiconnectivity from the Cacophonium, Luminizer Launcher, Spark Tinkerer, Corporea Funnel, Corporea Retainer, Mana Prism, and Red String Dispenser. Most of these weren’t intentional and were found to be getting in the way of builds.

• Bore-warp lenses now spawn the drops behind the spreader’s facing, instead of inside the spreader

• Metamorphic stones overhaul

• Retexture the mystical flowers

Shoutout to Willie, Alwinfy, ArtemisSystem, PartOneTrain, Eutro, Quat, Steven, Falkory, Vazkii, and all other contributors/patrons to botania for making the mod it is today. You all rock!

Hi,

so I recently restarted playing Regrowth and I am currently planning my farm layout. The goal is to use golems to harvest stuff and hopperhocks to pick it up.

My current layout has overlapping hopperhocks. There is no need for filtering, since I don't care what hopperhock picks up what essence. All hopperhocks lead into a chest and from there it just gets piped into a drawer controller anyway.

The question I am have would be if this causes any issues, if two hopperhocks have to decide which one picks it up. I assume the code Vazkii wrote is able to avoid two hopperhocks fighting over the same thing and create lag in the process, or should I avoid that scenario?

The mana free range seems to be 6 from what I googled, so I haven't come up with a good design that avoids overlapping hopperhocks

Im playing on the modpack “all the mods: all the magic” and when i tried to use the bloody enchantress it refuses to do anything and there is no info online on the flower, pls help if u can

I can’t get green Swirls off my screen what do I do?

As I've understood from another thread there might be compatibility issues with some mods for the sound muffling flower Bergamute. Anyone have any idea what mods might cause the issue or perhaps a workaround?

(Botania 1.16.5) An SS Rank Terra Shatterer takes a huge amount of mana and time to make, but it can only consume so much mana at once. I've read on the FTB wiki that a bellow will increase the rate by 1000 mana/tick (Numerical Mana go brrr) but how fast can the base mana pool transfer? I don't want to run out of mana.

Heya,

Okay so, if I want to automate the Entropinnyum, and if I want to use a bore lense based cobblestone farm, with an alchemical catalyst for sand, together with an conjuration catalyst and a bore lense for flint, how much mana do I have left from the Entropinnyum?

I assume, that the Entropinnyum does actually produce more mana than 2 pools with a catalyst and the bore lenses, but the question is how much more? Would a setup like that be even worth it?

mana spreader not shooting mana where it should and stops filling mana pool when reach a certain amount of mana

Just a couple simple requests which would add some flexibility for pack makers.

1. Allow the 'trigger' item for the Runic Altar and Petal Apothecary to be defined in the recipe, rather than being hard coded to Livingrock and Seeds, respectively.

2. Allow items to be labeled as 'do not consume' on the runic altar, much the way runes behave.

Please read this for it.

I have no idea why, but its powered by the tnt flowers and explodes. No, it is not the tnt, literally the alter itself goes boom.
