Gourmaryllis

The Gourmaryllis is a generating flower from Botania. It generates Mana from food.

Usage
The Gourmaryllis generates Mana by consuming food items (that do not leave behind containers or byproducts). It has a one-block pickup range. The Mana it generates is proportional to the restored Hunger, squared, times 64. The time required to consume a piece of food is equal to its restored Hunger value, in seconds (one full food icon = 2 food points = 1 second). Mana is produced in a single burst at the end of this time (indicating that the Gourmaryllis can eat a new food item). Examples:

Food items' Saturation values are ignored.

While a Gourmaryllis is digesting a piece of food, it will still pick up additional food items. However, all items after the first will be ignored and destroyed.

The Gourmaryllis can store up to 8000 Mana internally, and can be bound to a Mana Spreader within 6 blocks of itself to transfer its Mana. This means that the most valuable item a Gourmaryllis could eat without wasting Mana would be an item that restored 11 points of Hunger (5.5 Shanks = 7744 Mana).
