Mana Display (Mana Visual)
by bukachy
Mana Display, by bukachy, shows Botania mana levels as numbers, bars and holograms above the mana blocks, pools and spreaders.
What it does
The mod adds a readout for Botania's mana network. A mana pool, spreader or generating flower can show its current mana amount in numeric form and a bar, along with the rate at which mana is added or drained. Values also appear on mana rings in the inventory and on the amounts shown by Tablet Dominance, so the readout does not depend on one screen.
Visual holograms can be drawn above Botania blocks. Defaults are set in the client config, and in-game commands switch the display for pools, spreaders and flowers on or off. Holograms are disabled by default for mana pools only when the config says so. The display is meant for checking mana networks, debugging transfer setups and tuning how mana moves between blocks.
Installation requires Forge with Botania. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files target the 1.16.5 – 1.20.1 range, with 1.20.1-2.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License, making the mod open source.
