Botania (Fabric/Quilt)
Warning: Botania requires Patchouli and Trinkets!
This version of Botania is designed for Fabric and Quilt. If you use Forge, a separate mod version is available.
Botania is a tech mod with elements of natural magic. The core gameplay revolves around creating magical flowers and devices powered by Mana—the energy of the earth. The mod is completely self-contained and balanced for solo play, but works excellently with other modifications.
A key feature of Botania is automation, but without boring and monotonous elements. Instead of blindly copying schematics from JEI or wikis, players are encouraged to think through and design their own systems.
Botania's Development Philosophy
- No pipes or wires—these elements are considered boring and overused
- No interfaces—all interactions occur directly in the game world
- Minimal numbers—developers are against excessive optimization of every aspect
- Resource renewability—most materials can be obtained infinitely
- Visual appeal—achieved with just two types of particles
Project's Main Goals
- Overcoming the "mods as means to an end" stereotype—gameplay should be engaging on its own
- Creating fun and balanced gameplay without forcing grinding
- Encouraging sandbox approach and enabling creation of interesting mechanisms
- Forming a deep and immersive gaming experience
