Lexica Botania

The Lexica Botania is an in-game book featured in Botania. It is a repository of all knowledge in Botania, and a large amount of information needed to progress through the mod is stored in this book.

If the player is looking directly at a block featured in Botania, if there is an entry for it the player can simply shift-right-click with the Lexica Botania held and it will automatically open up to the entry for it. For example, if a player were to look directly at the Daybloom flower, they could shift-right-click while holding the book and it will open up to the entry for the Daybloom. Additionally, if the player is looking directly at a block that is not featured in Botania and shift-right-clicks, a window or tab of their default web browser will open a link to that block either on the Official Minecraft Wiki or here, the Official FTB Wiki. Additionally, if a player is looking at their inventory, has a Lexica Botania in their inventory, and hovers their mouse over an item from Botania, an icon of the Lexica will appear below, and if the player holds the Ctrl key for two seconds, their inventory will close and the Lexica will open to the entry for that item.

The Lexica Botania's cover and name can also be customized. The player can rename it in an Anvil and not only will the item's name be changed, but the front cover of the Lexica Botania will display the new name.

The cover of the Lexica Botania will also show an "Edition" number. That edition is the current version of Botania the player's client is running.

The Lexica Botania also allows up to 10 bookmarks to be placed. The bookmarks can be added by clicking the plus symbol on the top-right corner of the book. When placed, it will save that exact page in the Lexica Botania, and when clicked on, will return to that exact page. To remove a bookmark, Shift left-click while hovering over the bookmark.

The Lexica Botania does not contain all of its information when a player first opens it. Certain knowledge, known as Elven Knowledge, will only be added to the Lexica when the player has thrown their Lexica through a Portal to the Alfheim. Once available, the titles of these entries will be shown in green. The tooltip for the Lexica shows what knowlege it contains.
