Mana Spreader

The Mana Spreader is used to transport Mana in Botania. The direction of the Mana beam can be manipulated by shift-right clicking on it with the Wand of the Forest, do note that this was initially supposed to be complicated to perform.

There is an alternative method of orientating the Mana Spreader, and that is to bind it to another block. To do so, the player must simply shift-right-click the Mana Spreader, then whilst still holding shift the player can shift-right-click another block to automatically orientate the Mana Spreader to direct its Mana bursts to that block. It should be noted that this method is not perfect.

By holding the Wand of the Forest the player shall be able to see probes a distance a way from the Mana Spreader in the direction it is orientated to. These show how far Mana bursts can travel before some Mana is lost. The Mana Spreader's, like the Redstone Mana Spreader's Mana bursts can only travel a distance of 12 blocks before suffering some Mana loss.

Mana Spreaders fire Mana in bursts rather than constantly you can see these regardless of whether or not you are holding the Wand of the Forest.

There is an advanced version of the Mana Spreader, with improved features, it is called the Elven Mana Spreader and is expected to be acquired in later mod progression.
