Very good guide. All I have to add is when using the runic alter bind a mana spreader to the alter that is placed beside a mana pool. The spreader will pull from the pool to feed the alter. And will feeding much faster then trying to generate new mana.

[@devdogra7173]

The mana mirror does work in the vault dimension you just need to chunkload it you can do it with the mekanism anchor upgrade or use flux networks

[@maxonlp2756]

It would be cool if you could make a tier list for all the rooms in the vault like you did with the abilities

[@karp_4902]

Problem with that is the rooms also depend on modifiers. For example, if i have hoard, i dont even bother with dig sites because they take more time and i can find more gilded chests clearing another few rooms

At last!!!!! A tutorial that explains mana generation for noobs like me. Other channels seem to assume noobs know the basics but this channel assumes you know nothing... thank you so much, I have learned so much from this.

Your channel is always my one stop solution for all my vh questions/problems/suggestions. I really really love how every mod i am about to unlock and search for guide, and your video is always there.

This is really helpful as I’m just about to unlock botania. I’d love more guides like this for things like engineering and storage solutions etc

As always this is the best guide for botania. I had issues understanding many of them. Sometimes they had like 20 episodes... and nothing really useful told. This is very easy to understand, find all things that are needed. I built my elven portal and feed flowers with TNT - double or turn items from one to another. Thank you!

[@Hellfirem4ge]

I'm glad to hear it! There'll be many more on the way soon! 😃

[@Jonnyorlando7]

You forgot the dandelifion (the game of life) flower.. which creates a game with the cellular blocks that go towards the flower once placed.. the more combinations the cellular blocks create before reaching the flower the more mana it creates

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Oh I didn't forget it, I cut it for time because it requires a lot of explanation! It's also a terrible way of generating mana without a massive automated setup and it has a huge footprint. It is pretty cool though, I like watching them transform 😁

[@BLUEvers1ty]

you are so damb easy to follow ur guides

[@dinornis]

Do you have one for this mod in the most recent releases for vault hunters? My sister's reintroduced me to Minecraft with vault hunters, and admittedly I think botania is going to be one of my early unlocks once I run a few vaults because it's goooooorgeous, but she says they've removed some parts of the mod? Being a newbie, I have no idea what's been removed or how it affects the game 😭

[@Hellfirem4ge]

Honestly this one basically still works, the only things removed were the trinkets and terra shatterer ☺️

[@PrismaticPixie]

Can you do a video about traversing the vault for newbies? How modifiers May change your strategy, what rooms to skip because they aren’t worth the time, show the photos of how the vaults are setup based on level, etc. And then for the rooms worth looking maybe videos containing like 3 or so rooms per video on where all the secrets etc. are. This is info I’ve been searching for. Luckily the discord for VH is super welcoming and very helpful! Also, info about catalysts and how to build crystals that are best for certain objectives like soul shard farming, looting etc. And the different types crystals like cake vaults etc. Your guides are very thorough and have helped me a lot!

[@Hellfirem4ge]

There's a lot to cover there and some of it has been covered in guides I've already done. I'll most likely be revamping my beginners guide when 1.18 drops in a few weeks so that would probably be a good time for me to look at those sorts of topics ☺️ I do also have a plan for a more in-depth "what rooms are worth looting and where is the loot" video, but honestly, there's not a crazy amount of hidden loot in the vaults. Once you know the few rooms that have hidden loot, the rest are pretty straight forward ☺️

[@PrismaticPixie]

You should check out dimstorage next. It's probably the most underrated mod in the game. You can easily set up item transportation between your farms and your main storage. But if you are clever you can set up a system that pulls all the important loot you get while vaulting into your main storage. This happens while your in the vault effectively protecting all your loot from death. You can also send all your gear back to the overworld if your in a locked that can't be completed. I'm hesitant to write this as I don't want it to get patched but I also don't want to hoard the knowledge.

I thought they had already patched that out with the mega nerf patch but that's interesting 🤔 I've honestly never even used it so I'll give it a look for sure!

Absolutely epic guide! Wish I’d had this a month ago 🫠 As mentioned above, the mirror does work in the vault and other dimensions as long as the pool it’s linked to is chunk loaded.
