Nightshade

The Nightshade is a flower from Botania. It is a dark counterpart to the Daybloom. It generates Mana from darkness.

Usage
The Nightshade generates 1 Mana every 12 ticks and stores 20 Mana internally. It can be bound to a Mana Spreader within 6 blocks of itself to transfer its Mana. The Nightshade will operate if it cannot see sunlight, either if it is underground, or during nighttime or if it is raining.

The Nightshade will wither and die after 72,000 ticks (1 hour, 3 Minecraft days). If a Nightshade is planted on Enchanted Soil (from Overgrowth Seeds), it will not die out.

Prior to Botania R1.8 build 238, Nightshades would generate 1 Mana every 25 sticks, and would suffer from diminishing returns when placed adjacent to other Nightshades (+7.5 ticks per Mana per flower adjacent, rounded down).

Prior to Botania R1.7 build 222, the 3-day lifespan could be configured, and Enchanted Soil would increase Nightshades' Mana production.

Nightshade Prime
The Nightshade Prime is a rare form of Nightshade created in clusters of 4-5 (alongside 4-5 Daybloom Primes) during world generation. Unlike the normal Nightshade, it does not expire after three days, and it generates Mana 17% faster (1 Mana every 10 ticks rather than every 12 ticks), but it cannot be moved.
