Warning: Botania Requires Patchouli and Curios!
This is the Forge version of Botania. You can also get it for Fabric/Quilt here.
Botania is a tech mod themed around natural magic. Gameplay is centered around creating magical flowers and devices using Mana, the power of the earth. Botania is fully playable as a standalone mod (and is designed as such), but it functions just well in conjunction with other mods.
The mod focuses on automation, but without elements that make it feel grindy– systems can be thought out and designed, rather than built blindly from blueprints in JEI or a wiki.
Botania’s design philosophy
No pipes, wires, etc– they’re boring and overdone;
No GUIs– interact with everything in-world;
No numbers– players shouldn’t try to minmax everything;
Keep all resources as renewable as possible;
Provide pleasing visuals, despite using only two different particle effects.
Botania’s goals
Break the mold of mods being means to ends– be engaging in gameplay as well as in rewards;
Deliver fun and balanced gameplay without forcing players to grind;
Incentivize sandbox gameplay and allow players to create fun contraptions;
Create an overall immersive experience.
