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.
