Mechanical Botania

This modification offers an innovative solution for integrating the magical system of Botania with the mechanical technologies of Create. The core concept involves transforming magical mana energy into mechanical Rotational Power Mechanics (RPM).

The key integration elements are two devices: the mana motor and spinerettes. Spinerettes function as a type of transformers that consume mana to generate rotational power. The connection between these elements is established using the Wand of the Forest from Botania.

System performance directly depends on the quality of the surface where spinerettes are placed. In the standard configuration, ordinary dirt provides the lowest efficiency, followed in increasing power by rooted dirt, grass block, podzol, and finally enchanted soil, obtainable using overgrowth seeds. It's important to note that this list can be configured through configuration files, as the system uses block tags.

When designing a power plant, an important feature should be considered: each added spinerette reduces the maximum load capacity of the mana motor. Therefore, to achieve maximum efficiency, it's recommended to use highest-quality spinerettes on the most productive surfaces.

System flexibility allows for detailed configuration of key parameters through configuration files: produced RPM amount, output voltage in stress units, and spinerette energy consumption in mana units.

Important information: the developer states that this modification is not planned for porting to Fabric versions of Create and Botania, nor to newer versions of Minecraft.
