Entropinnyum

The Entropinnyum is a generating flower added by Botania. It generates Mana by absorbing the explosion of a block of TNT.

Usage
The Entropinnyum generates Mana by absorbing primed TNT entities in a 12 block range immediately before they explode, producing 6,500 Mana per explosion. It is limited to primed TNT and can't interact with other forms of explosions such as an exploding Creeper. It cannot function if it has any Mana stored in its buffer, and cannot absorb TNT entities in liquids. An Entropinnyum can be bound to a Mana Spreader within 6 blocks of itself to transfer its Mana.

Tips
While the Entropinnyum will not interact with primed TNT exploding in liquids, it will do so with primed TNT kept out of harms reach with blast proof blocks such as Obsidian. Dispenser may even dispense primed TNT inside the boundary of a blast proof block if it occupies the space in front of the dispenser output.

The Entropinnyum generates only a minimum amount of mana if the player tries to exploit the vanilla TNT duplication glitch. The mod will detect if there is any detector rail, moving piston, and slime / honey block in a 7x7x7 area centered around the TNT entity when it is primed. If all three are present, then the TNT will be considered “unethical” and the Entropinnyum will generate only about 1/2000 of the normal amount of mana, making this exploit rather useless.
