Mana is the energy system of Botania. It is generated by Generating Flora, stored in Mana Pools, and moved by Mana Spreaders.

Mana Storage & Transport

Block Description
Mana Pool Stores Mana. Comes in Diluted (low capacity), Normal, and Fabulous (decorative) variants.
Mana Spreader Fires Mana Bursts toward a target. Must be bound using a Wand of the Forest.
Mana Tablet A portable battery that stores Mana in your inventory to power tools and rods.
Mana Mirror A late-game item that allows you to access a specific Mana Pool's storage from anywhere in the world.

The Wand of the Forest

Crafted with two petals and three twigs, this tool has two modes:

  1. Function Mode: Allows you to rotate blocks or check Mana levels
  2. Bind Mode: Shift-right-click a Spreader, then shift-right-click a Pool (or another receiver) to link them

Mana Lenses

Lenses can be attached to Mana Spreaders to modify the properties of the Mana Burst:

  • Velocity: Increases speed but reduces range
  • Potency: Increases Mana carried per burst but slows it down
  • Resistance: Prevents Mana loss over distance
  • Messenger: Carries very little Mana but travels extremely fast (useful for Redstone signals)
  • Weight: Causes blocks hit by the burst to fall like sand
