Botania Server Hosting

Botania is the definitive nature-magic mod for Minecraft, with over 157 million downloads making it one of the most beloved magic mods ever created. When you host a Botania server, you're offering players an elegantly designed magic system based on flowers, mana, and natural automation that stands in beautiful contrast to industrial tech mods.

Why Host a Botania Server?

Botania provides a unique magic experience that rewards creativity and understanding over simply following recipes. The mod's creator, Vazkii, designed it with a philosophy of discovery - players must experiment and observe to master its systems. This creates engaging gameplay that keeps players exploring and theorycrafting on your server for hundreds of hours.

Server Requirements for Botania

Botania is remarkably lightweight for its feature set. We recommend 4GB RAM for dedicated Botania servers, as the mod's flower-based systems are well-optimized. The mana network operates efficiently even with many players running extensive flower gardens. Server performance remains stable even during intensive mana generation.

The Mana System

Mana is Botania's core resource, generated by special flowers that consume items, experience, or even nearby cake. Mana spreaders transmit mana through your world as visible bursts, creating beautiful networks. Mana pools store the resource for crafting and powering devices. This visual, tangible magic system is uniquely satisfying.

Functional and Generating Flowers

Over 50 different flowers serve various purposes. Endoflames burn items for mana, Hydroangeas consume water, and the powerful Gourmaryllis eats food. Functional flowers consume mana to perform tasks - Hopperhocks pick up items, Bellethorne damages mobs, and Agricarnations accelerate plant growth.

Natural Automation

Unlike mechanical automation, Botania uses nature-themed systems. The Corporea network enables item requests across your base using sparks. Hovering Hourglasses provide redstone timing. The result is automation that looks beautiful integrated into gardens and natural builds.

Powerful Tools and Baubles

Terra Steel equipment rivals endgame gear from tech mods. The Ring of Magnetization, Sojourner's Sash for flight, and the powerful Terrasteel armor provide compelling progression goals. The Gaia Guardian bosses offer challenging fights for groups.

Integration with Magic Modpacks

Botania features prominently in Enigmatica, All The Mods, and most kitchen-sink packs. It complements other magic mods like Ars Nouveau and stands as an alternative progression path to tech mods.
