Botania Slots
A Quality-of-Life mod that adds dedicated Curios slots for your Mana Tablets and Rings, decluttering your inventory and reducing server lag.
About this Mod
Botania Slot is a Quality-of-Life (QoL) and utility mod for Minecraft Forge that changes how you carry your mana. Instead of keeping Mana Tablets and Mana Rings taking up space in your main inventory, you can now equip them in dedicated curios slots!
Overview
If you play with Botania, you know the struggle of keeping Mana Tablets, Bands of Aura, or Mana Rings in your inventory at all times just to keep your tools working.
This mod integrates directly with the Curios API to give you specific slots meant only for your mana items. It declutters your inventory, keeps your mana sources organized, and as a great bonus, makes the game run smoother.
Features
- Dedicated Mana Slots: Adds two exclusive "Botania Mana" accessory slots to your Curios menu (identified by the Charm icon).
- Equip Your Tablets: You can now safely equip your Mana Tablets and Mana Rings directly into these new slots, freeing up your main inventory for loot and blocks.
- Smart Filtering: The custom slots are strictly filtered. Only valid mana-bearing items can be placed inside them, preventing you from accidentally storing the wrong items.
- Performance Bonus: Normally, Botania scans all 36 slots of your inventory every tick to find mana. By forcing the game to only check these two specific Curios slots, it drastically reduces CPU usage and server lag, making it a must-have for large modpacks.
