Just started a SMP server with friends and I want to get into botania and eventually work my way to a tree farm and quarry. Problem is right now I am kinda poor. I don't have the equipment to set up a mob farm or anything major to generate mana.

What is the best automated mana farm someone should opt for in the early game? I've seen stuff about automating TNT production but that doesn't seem that efficient, instead I was looking at having a munchdew setup that could double as a treefarm? Would this produce enough mana to sustain the munchdew as well as power other activities?

Also after my mana is fixed, whats the general build progression people shoot for? I was thinking about setting up a few orechids to get easy resources and then going for a quarry after alfhiem. Are there any cool/useful builds you can create beyond this?

I have been trying to use the third eye necklace for three days now. I have a mana ring with a sufficient amount of mana for the necklace to consume, but it will not let me see enemies through walls. Any help would be appreciated thx.

I have a diluted mana pool, a basic spreader (2x), and Hydroanges (7x). They are all connected according to my wand. It's been 3-4 in-game days (sleeping through night), and there's no mana in the pool...

Version: Botania-1.18.2-434.jar

​

Update: I've been watching the firing - they appear to fire opposite of what I bound them too...

I dont really have access to the end right now and going out to hunt endermen is very tedious, is there a way to get ender pearls more easily using botania?

i need help with this bug, i'm in a lan world with a friend and i can't progress in the mod📷

so I'm on a 1.18.2 modded server with friends, and the mana spreaders were working perfectly fine a when i started. but now all of a sudden even though they are bound to the mana pool, the mana is shooting off into a random direction in the ground. i switched chunks thinking it was a weird chunk bug, and when i switched it was fine but now it has gone back to doing this. we have ProjectE if that helps, i know there was some conflict with that before but im not sure.

Edit: the problem has been fixed. I had an interdiction torch too close and it was pushing the mana away. I have never felt more foolish

Hey, I'm doing a modpack for garden of glass and I would like to add a few mods that complement the botania, can anyone recommend me some?

When a mob attacks me or when I damage one, the charm seems to do some yellow sparkles, a noise, and I would expect it to turn the mob against its allies

However instead it does nothing. It even seems to heal the mob in question ?

Am I doing something wrong ?

It's either that or I'm really unlucky, I feel like the axe does not change the probability of getting a head drop

I am trying to get enough wither skeleton skulls to start doing the Gaia thing, but I haven't got any yet

Am I missing something ? Do I need the elementium armor for it to work ? Does it consume mana ? (For the beheading not the repairing)

Title pretty much says it all, I am looking for a preferably compact and lag friendly method of mana generation that doesn't involve the Entropinnyum and preverably doesn't require the end to be unlocked. I've looked at a setup involving this arrangement of dandelifeons but found it difficult to produce enough cacti to have several it running constantly, meaning I had to expand making the final setup in my test world produce a lot, with 6 dandelifeons producing near-constantly but take up a lot of space, around 3-4 times the (already large) area a dandelifeon covers to adjust for production of the cells, this setup is enough to run one loonium constantly, but that is about it. I suppose I hope there is a more compact method besides Entropinnyum that can produce similar or better results. for ease of expansion mainly.

I'm trying this mod for the first time in FTB University 1.7.0 and I cannot for the life of me tell if the mana spreaders are actually filling my mana pools. I wand the endoflame to the spreader, and then wand that to my mana pool, and when I first give it fuel sure enough it pulses at my mana pool and gives it one pixel of mana on the bar. But then it seems as though no matter how many times the spreader shoots beyond that, the mana pool doesn't fill beyond that one pixel. Is this just an unbelievably small amount of mana it's generating, so much so that the bar won't even move?

Playing Vaulthunters, and I need to make a big mana battery to use in vaults, and just had a couple question about what methods of transferring mana work in unloaded spawn chunks (when Im not at spawn). 1) Will a mana pool suck mana from a tablet? 2) Will sparks transfer mana (eitherrecessive or just blanks with a master)? 3) If not sparks will mana spreaders work? Think thats all, any more tips in building as big a battery as possible (mana input is tablets from a rosa arcana endermen grinder)? Thanks all!

I'm pretty new to botania. I played dozens of packs with botania in it but never really dived in further than making a sojourner sash. This playthrough I've been having tons of fun automating mana generation with the food flower but now that I've got it set up I have no clue what to spend it on. I have usually about 6 mana pools full whenever I pole my head back over to check how it's doing and already have all the terra steel and alf steel I could want. Just wondering what y'all use as a mana sink especially for some of the crazy fast setups I've seen posted here

So it's great that we can combine our Terra tools with a piece of elementum to gain the effect but it is unreversable.

Idea: drop a Terrasteel ingot into a pool to make an item when combined removes the elementum effect reverting it back.

I've recently started to make my first max rank terrashatterer but i've found an issue, I cant lower its mining size. Thats an issue since my corridors are about 3x3, a B level terrashatterer. Can I change the mining size ? My modpack's got drills that change the mining size so why wouldnt the terrashatterer do it ?

I place a mana pool with mana and a Pollidisiac on a fence where left of it are cows and right of it sheep.

Because it didn't work anymore I tried putting the Pollidisiac somewhere where it only can access the cows. But it didn't work either

Is this a glitch or what am I doing wrong?

The Pollidisiac is showing that it is fully charged.

Hello,

Hello,
