What is it?

To quote the official Botania Page,

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.
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 [EMI] or a wiki.

Okay, but what about this version?

Botania: BTW edition is a port of the 1.7 version of botania to 1.6.4 BTW:CE, with (planned) tight integration with BTW's core progression, with recipes tweaked to prevent sequence breaking everything. Furthermore, custom content is planned, so even those with prior exprience to Botania will see something new!

Here be dragons!

Please note that this addon is still in alpha! There might be bugs, things that are not implemented, and crashes! Please don't use this in a world that you care about (yet!)! Report any issues you discover on the issue tracker or discord. In addition, this addon will have more dependencies in the future! Be prepared. Or don't, I can't exactly stop you.

  • The Forge team: This mod (currently, its planned to seperate that out) utilizes and shims a sizable chunk of the MinecraftForge API. Thanks to all the contributors of Forge (around 1.7 especially)!
