Daybloom

The Daybloom is a flower from Botania. It is the most basic flower used to generate Mana. It generates Mana from sunlight.

Usage
The Daybloom 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 Daybloom will not operate if it cannot see the sky, if it is nighttime, or if it is raining.

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

Prior to Botania R1.8 build 238, Dayblooms would generate 1 Mana every 25 ticks, and would suffer from diminishing returns when placed adjacent to other Dayblooms (+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 Dayblooms' Mana production.

Daybloom Prime
The Daybloom Prime is a rare form of Daybloom created in clusters of 4-5 (alongside 4-5 Nightshade Primes) during world generation. Unlike the normal Daybloom, 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.

Trivia

 * The Daybloom resembles the Daybloom in Terraria, though the two are, functionally speaking, very different.
