# About<\/p>\n
Warning: Botania **Requires Patchouli and Curios (Forge) or Trinkets (Fabric\/Quilt)!** <\/p>\n
**Botania** is a tech mod themed around natural magic. Gameplay is centered around creating magical flowers and devices using Mana, the power of the earth. Botania is fully playable as a standalone mod (and is designed as such), but it functions just well in conjunction with other mods.<\/p>\n
The mod focuses on automation, but without elements that make it feel grindy– systems can be thought out and designed, rather than built blindly from blueprints in JEI or a wiki.<\/p>\n
**Botania’s design philosophy**<\/p>\n
* No pipes, wires, etc– they’re boring and overdone;
\n* No GUIs– interact with everything in-world;
\n* No numbers– players shouldn’t try to minmax everything;
\n* Keep all resources as renewable as possible;
\n* Provide pleasing visuals, despite using only two different particle effects.<\/p>\n
**Botania’s goals**<\/p>\n
* Break the mold of mods being means to ends– be engaging in gameplay as well as in rewards;
\n* Deliver fun and balanced gameplay without forcing players to grind;
\n* Incentivize sandbox gameplay and allow players to create fun contraptions;
\n* Create an overall immersive experience.<\/p>\n
