Botania Pylon Crystal

The mod overrides how the mana, natura and gaia pylons are drawn, swapping their default look for a crystal model. Each pylon type gets its own crystal variant, and the crystal shape comes in tall, short, tall-short and short-tall versions. Rotation of the crystal ring around a placed pylon can be set in speed as degrees per tick, and a display option can show only the crystal or only the ring.

The crystals can be dyed by right-clicking them with dye, and a crafting recipe can allow dyeing for the variants that accept it. Dye can tint the ring as well as the crystal. Rendering can be set to cutout, translucent or solid. Two-part model.json files ship inside the built-in resource pack and rotate on the client, while textures can be swapped by editing a resource pack. The model keeps compatibility with shaders and with earlier Minecraft versions using single-axis, limited rotation.

Botania Pylon Crystal is released for Fabric only, with a single file for 1.20.1 published on 2026-03-16. The server and every player need the mod installed.
