Bindable Mana Pool
by YukkuriC
Bindable Mana Pool is a small addon for Botania that lets generator flowers output mana straight into a mana pool, without passing it through a spreader first.
What it does
Normally a generator flower sends its mana through a spreader before it reaches a pool. This addon links the generator flower to the pool directly, so the pool fills from the flower alone. The change is made with a mixin, which means the code alters Botania at runtime rather than replacing its files.
Botania is required. The addon is open source under the MIT License and runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.19 – 1.20.6, and the latest file is 1.1.0 for 1.20.6, released 2025-04-21.
The author notes that the addon reduces the pressure that mana particle rendering places on the client, and that the flowers it enables have mechanics built around mana buffers. The addon itself does not change how a player sees the world, so clients need nothing installed.
Key features
Direct generator output
Generator flowers can fill a mana pool directly, removing the spreader step from the chain.
Direct pool linking
A generator flower connects to a pool on its own, so the spreader is no longer needed between them.
Reduced particle load
Fewer mana particles are drawn on the client, which the author says lowers rendering pressure during mana transfer.
Buffer-based flower mechanics
The flowers the addon enables work with mana buffers, a mechanic the author describes as strong.

Use cases
Compact mana setups
A player can run a generator flower into a pool next to it, with no spreader in between.
Busy server bases
Server owners can keep many mana chains running while reducing the particle work on each client.
Who it’s for: Players of Botania on Fabric or Forge who want generator flowers to feed pools directly, and server owners running Botania for several players.
How it compares
Mana Visualizer is a Fabric-only client and server mod for 1.19.2 under the MIT License, so it covers a different part of the mana system than this addon. Mana Peeper is a Fabric and Forge client-side only mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so players install it and servers do not. Bindable Mana Pool is server-side only and changes how mana moves between flowers and pools.
