by otectus

What it does

Iron's Botany lets Botania's natural mana power spells cast through Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, so spells can draw on and reshape the flower-based mana network. The two systems are merged closely, so the spells interact with Botania machinery and the arcane power of the spell mod meets natural mana. Both Botania and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks are required, and the mod is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.

The mod adds a new magic school, new spells and a set of armor. A Botanical Ring gives bonus max mana, spell power and stat boosts applied through the Curios attribute system. A Gaia Spirit Wand serves as a top-tier casting implement, and a Terra Rod trades burst damage for a longer cooldown. The armor is repairable with Manasteel Ingots and grants a four-piece set bonus, and its Mana Shield absorbs half of incoming damage while drawing on Botania mana.

Six synergy stages control how deeply the two systems combine, and all of them are configurable. A bare-bones mode turns off the mana conversion for players who want only part of the integration. The mod is built for Forge in client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover Minecraft 1.20.1 only.
