About this Mod

A natural magic datapack
Florcraft is a datapack that adds a Thaumcraft-inspired magic system centered around the essences of the natural world. Explore the world, collecting the essences of nature for your own employment - then utilize them to wield powerful staves and tools!
Gather essence, a mystical substance that can be used in many ways, from the spirits of nature. Explore the world to discover the three varieties of essence: Arid, Aqueous, and Verdant!
Once you’ve collected some essence, explore the Nature’s Oculus and its deep knowledge tree to discover and craft over 60 new items, including spellcasting rods and scepters, elementally charged tools and armor with unique essence-fueled powers, and useful constructs like the Mystical Furnace and the Mineroot tree!
Ready to take it a step further? To craft and use the most powerful items, you will need vast amounts of essence. Use Pylons to automate essence collection, then transport that essence to wherever it needs to go using magical… flowers?!
Fight the three Essence Guardians, powerful minibosses you may encounter after dabbling in the power of essence, for additional resources!
Are you ready to begin? Hit any of the spirits that can occasionally be found flitting around to collect your first essence and start your journey!
A custom resource pack is required to use this datapack.
This pack already has enough content to be worthwhile in a playthrough setting. However, it will receive additional content updates in the future, including more uses for essence and more challenging endgame content. If you're interested in hearing about future updates, perhaps follow the project or join my Discord server!
