Little Botanics
by LeoBeliik
Little Botanics is a Forge addon for Botania that adds mana-carrying trains and barges, so mana can travel by rail and water across a world.
What it does
Little Botanics extends Little Logistics with Botania content. A Car mana pool and a Barge mana pool let mana move as cargo, and each pool can receive and send mana through a mana pump, much as the mana pool minecart in Botania does. A pump placed on top of a barge is needed for the barge to work with the docker.
A linked tug barge docks automatically once the same conditions that dock any other barge are met. Cars in a linked train dock the same way. The pump extracts and inserts mana on its own, independent of the docker mode, so only the side of the pump that touches the pool matters. A small version of the mana pool minecart works exactly as the Botania original does.
Botania is required, and Little Logistics provides the transport system the new vehicles use. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is published for Forge 1.19.2 only, with the 1.01 file dated 2023-08-10, and the source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Mana pool car
A Car mana pool carries mana along rails and can be linked into a train.
Mana pool barge
A Barge mana pool holds mana on water, with a pump on top controlling transfer.
Mana pumps
The pump moves mana into and out of a pool, and its side facing the pool is the one that matters.
Automatic docking
Linked tug barges and cars dock on their own once the same conditions as other barges and cars are met.
