Botania/Changelog

On this page, the changelog for the mod Botania can be found. It can also be found on Vazkii's Botania website. This page is almost a direct copy of the changelog on Vazkii's Botania website, although it has been formatted and properly linked for the wiki.

R1.1.70

 * Massively optimized the particle render code. Botania particles will no longer kill your fps. In doing this they also render properly over water now, so that's neat. Yo Azanor, you should do this too for Nitor.
 * Added Matrix Mode as a config option. This was a visual glitch I got while changing the particle code that I decided to leave in because it was funny.

R1.1.69

 * Added a new lens (that requires elven knowledge), the Paintslinger Lens.
 * Changed the Pixie Dust texture to be pink to match the other elven resources and the pixie mob texture. You were waiting for it, confess.
 * Changed the text when hovering over a mana pool from "Accepting/Sparing Power" to "Accepting/Sparing Mana", to keep things concise.
 * Fixed Prismarine slabs and stairs not having recipes.
 * Right clicking on a piece of wool/carpet with Floral Powder now dyes it.
 * The Terra Shatterer can no longer receive mana from Aura Bands. Fixes Terra Shatterers not being able to break blocks if one is equipped.

R1.1.68

 * Fixed Mana Lenses displaying weird on item frames.
 * Fixed the Weight lens being able to move Tile Entities and unbreaking blocks like bedrock.
 * Removed examplemod. Again.
 * Tweaked the lens entry text a bit.

R1.1.67

 * Added a config option to disable elf portal particles.
 * Added two new Mana Lenses, the Influence and the Weight lens.
 * Fixed lens z-fighting when on a spreader.
 * Fixed Solid Vines being iffy in multiplayer.
 * Fixed some improbable lens combinations being possible (like bore+entropy).
 * Fixed the Forge Recipe Sorter complaining about non registered botania recipes.
 * Nerfed the Agricarnation. Sorry :<
 * The Terra Firma Rod now uses ore dictionary names rather than block references.

R1.1.66

 * Added Prismarine. Just like the one in the 1.8 snapshots but won't corrupt your world, yeah!
 * Fixed Elven Quartz Blocks not being able to be broken back using the Alchemy Catalyst.
 * Petals can now be buried via right clicking and emit particles when done so.
 * Tossing Vines in a Petal Apothecary causes it to get an overgrown look. This is visual only.
 * Updated a bunch of textures.

R1.1.65

 * Fixed the Alfheim portal renderer flickering when in the presence of a Beacon.
 * Fixed the Mana Bottle always doing the same effect.
 * Fixed the Terra Shatterer doubling up on block particles and sound while in multiplayer.
 * Removed Vector Pool references to ensure 1.7.10 compatibility.

R1.1.64

 * Added an explanation to the lexica as to why some entries are in italics for a better start.
 * Added better textures for Rings and Shears. They don't look like penises now. Dammit reddit.
 * Added Ingame Configs using the new forge config system. You can access them via the Mods menu. Botania now requires forge 1147 at least for this.
 * Added Mana in a Bottle. What does it do? How do you get it? Who knows.
 * Added two new rods, the Rod of the Skies and the Rod of the Hells.
 * Added Vine Balls and a Slingshot for them.
 * Changed the Botania creative tab's icon to the Lexica Botania.
 * Fixed a major Bauble dupe where equipping a bauble via right click would create a fully functional duplicate.
 * Fixed Pixies spamming your console with their target.
 * Fixed the Daffomill not being controllable with redstone.
 * Fixed the inventory key not closing the Lexica Botania GUIs.
 * Removed all the entries for Mana Lenses and squashed them in one fat entry.
 * Renamed the Basics section to "Basics and Mechanics" for better understanding.
 * I stayed up till 4:20 (no joke intended, for real, I did) to finish this update, it might spontaneously combust. You have been warned.

R1.1.63

 * Fixed generating flowers in the corners of chunks (and in general) causing lots of unnecessary chunk updates.
 * Fixed lack of canUpdate override on TileManaVoid, in theory this shouldn't impact performance unless you somehow had hundreds of them, but it fixes MCPC+ complaining. /shrug.
 * Flowers now force checks if they're not bound, this should, once again, in theory, fix flowers unbinding from pools/spreaders. /sigh

R1.1.62

 * Fixed a dupe with the Alfheim portal involving Manasteel Blocks.
 * Fixed Elven Quartz recipes being borked.

R1.1.61

 * Fixed the Kekimurus not eating from all sides.
 * The Flugel Tiara is now under Elven Knowledge.
 * The Ring of Chordata no longer gives a speed boost when the player is flying.
 * The Wand of the Forest can rotate blocks now. This should work with all vanilla blocks and any mod blocks that use the forge rotation hook (Block.rotateBlock).

R1.1.59

 * Fixed Daffomill entry typo.

 * Added the Rod of the Seas, a water counterpart to the Rod of the Lands.
 * Added the ability to unlock new types of knowledge to the Lexica Botania.
 * Added utility controls to the Lexica Botania. You can now navigate through the pages with the cursor keys, pgup/pgdn, mouse wheel and swiping left/right with touchscreen mode enabled. Pressing backspace or clicking the right mouse button takes you back. Pressing the home key takes you to the main index.

 * The Floral Fertilizer now spawns one more flower than before at all times.
 * The Snowflake Pendant now only freezes water source blocks.

 * [API] Major changes, adaptation is required.

R1.0.57

 * Fixed moar tpyos (CatDany)

R1.0.55

 * Added some sanity checking to the flowers' connection code to reflect the changes in 54, be it for *Spreaders or Pools. In theory, this ought to fix the bug where flowers lose their binding upon relog. I can't exactly tell you if that is the case though, because this issue is completely sporadic and nigh-on impossible to reproduce with consistency. Warning: This change modifies API files SubTileGenerating.java and SubTileFunctional.java. Third time's the charm, right? Please be so.
 * Mana Mirrors no longer show their binding in the tooltip, but rather in world.
 * [API] Added ICoordBoundItem.

R1.0.54

 * Added some checks to the adding of mana spreaders and mana pools to the world. In theory, this ought to fix the bug where flowers lose their binding upon relog.

 * Added some new items that don't do anything yet, don't mind them, I just happened to have them done before *I pushed this update.

R1.0.53

 * Fixed compatibility with the latest forge versions with ore dictionary changes. The mod now requires forge 1117 at minimum.

R1.0.52

 * Added sound effects to the Petal Apothecary.

R1.0.51

 * Added a config to disable Smokey Quartz for TT users.
 * Added fancy versioning to the Lexica Botania.
 * Added some sanity checking to the flowers' connection code, be it for Spreaders or Pools. In theory, this ought to fix the bug where flowers lose their binding upon relog. I can't exactly tell you if that is the case though, because this issue is completely sporadic and nigh-on impossible to reproduce with consistency. Warning: This change modifies API files SubTileGenerating.java and SubTileFunctional.java.
 * Fixed the Soulscribe being able to be blocked with. How does that even work anyway?
 * Fixed the config file re-saving if nothing changed.
 * Renaming the Lexica Botania changes it's cover and title.

R1.0.50

 * Added the Soulscribe, a weapon to kill Endermen.

 * Buffed the output of the Rosa Arcana.
 * Fixed Composite lenses not being localized.
 * Fixed a crash with right clicking the Abtruse Platform with an empty hand.
 * Fixed generating flowers outputting ALL their power to spreaders even if they can't take all of it. *Warning: This change modifies API files SubTileGenerating.java and IManaCollector.java.
 * [API] Added IAddonEntry for subtitle support on entries, mostly to prevent the whole [TT] or the like thing in Thaumcraft addons.

R1.0.46

 * Added the Abtruse Platform, a block to help you get around. Totally not a copy paste from Thaumic Tinkerer, nope.
 * Added the Manastar flower (under the Mana Manipulation section), which lets you measure if you're getting a profit or loss of mana.
 * Dropped the nerfhammer on Dayblooms and Nightshades. To start off, they're a bit slower by default now. They also suffer diminshing returns from having any flowers of the same type adjacent. Go get creative with better mana generation methods now.
