Elven and Relic Knowledge[]
The Lexica Botania does not initially contain all of its information when it is first collected or crafted:
- Elven Knowledge is added to the book after throwing it into the Portal to Alfheim. These entries have green titles.
- Relic Knowledge is added to the book when the player opens it when holding a relic in their inventory. The book must contain Elven Knowledge already. These entries have golden names, and all of them can be found in the Alfhomancy section.
Challenges[]
The Lexica contains 20 automation challenges designed around just vanilla Minecraft and Botania. As described by their entry in the Miscellaneous section, they are optional and don't provide any rewards. Challenges need to be marked as completed manually.
Recipe[]
