# About
Warning: Botania **Requires [Patchouli](https://modrinth.com/mod/patchouli) and [Curios (Forge)](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/curios) or [Trinkets (Fabric/Quilt)](https://modrinth.com/mod/trinkets)!**
**Botania** is a tech mod themed around natural magic. Gameplay is centered around creating magical flowers and devices using Mana, the power of the earth. Botania is fully playable as a standalone mod (and is designed as such), but it functions just well in conjunction with other mods.
The mod focuses on automation, but without elements that make it feel grindy-- systems can be thought out and designed, rather than built blindly from blueprints in JEI or a wiki.
**Botania's design philosophy**
* No pipes, wires, etc-- they're boring and overdone;
* No GUIs-- interact with everything in-world;
* No numbers-- players shouldn't try to minmax everything;
* Keep all resources as renewable as possible;
* Provide pleasing visuals, despite using only two different particle effects.
**Botania's goals**
* Break the mold of mods being means to ends-- be engaging in gameplay as well as in rewards;
* Deliver fun and balanced gameplay without forcing players to grind;
* Incentivize sandbox gameplay and allow players to create fun contraptions;
* Create an overall immersive experience.
