Botania

[](https://violetmoon.org)[](https://patreon.com/vazkii)[](https://twitter.com/vazkiimods)[](https://discord.gg/vm)  --- # About Warning: Botania **Requires [Patchouli](https://modrinth.com/mod/patchouli) and [Curios (Forge)](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/curios) or [Trinkets (Fabric/Quilt)](https://modrinth.com/mod/trinkets)!** **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. --- # Learn more about Botania today ### Visit the **[Official Website](https://botaniamod.net/index.html)** ---  [](https://patreon.com/vazkii)[](https://store.vazkii.net) [](https://violetmoon.org/creeperhost) [](https://essential.gg)
