How to install Botania
Botania takes one of Forge, Fabric and NeoForge. It lists mana generation from functional flowers among its features. It shares Magic with 6 others. It belongs on both sides.
- 1Install Forge for the Minecraft version you want Botania on. It brings mana spreaders and pools for distribution. It spans 1.6.4 to 1.21.1. A profile on another version never starts Botania.
- 2Put patchouli in first: Botania will not load without. Patchouli carries its own version numbers, match them to Botania. 1 file go in before Botania. Patchouli is not optional for Botania.
- 3Drop the Botania jar into the mods folder. The jar goes in whole, Botania unpacks nothing. A pack with Botania already has that file in place. The server needs that same Botania file.
- 4Start the game and look for Botania in the mods list. A missing patchouli keeps Botania out too. No Botania entry means the loader or the version is off. 12 packs and 3 loaders carry Botania.
Botania runs on 13 game versions, 1.6.4 to 1.21.1. 26.2 is 14 releases past Botania. Each Botania jar is built per version. 1.6.4 is as far back as Botania goes.
