Mana Stuff Visualizer: Precise Mana Tracking for Botania Items
Botania is the backbone of magical automation in Minecraft, but its default interface leaves much to be desired. You get a vague bar in a tablet or a subtle animation on a pool, and that is about it. Mana Stuff Visualizer fixes this by turning every mana-related item into a precise, readable data sheet. No more guesswork, no more failed rituals because you were off by a few hundred units.
What You Get in a Standard Build
Once you drop this addon into your mods folder, every tool, accessory, and block tied to the mana system gains a numeric readout. The information appears directly in the item tooltip, so you always know exactly where you stand.
Item Categories Covered
- Mana tablets and bands: current and maximum charge displayed as raw numbers, such as 450,000 / 1,000,000.
- Rings, belts, and amulets: mana cost per activation and remaining charge after use.
- Wands and staves: exact consumption per spell, letting you budget your reserves efficiently.
- Generating and functional flowers: internal buffer levels, critical for automated setups.
- Mana pools: real-time fill percentage down to a single unit.
- Mana-powered tools and weapons: remaining magical durability instead of a vague bar.
Why Numeric Transparency Matters
In vanilla Botania, many mechanics depend on precise thresholds. Alchemy in a pool requires a strict mana volume, and a ritual can fail if you are just a couple of hundred units short. With Mana Stuff Visualizer, you can read the exact number, set a comparator, and build a redstone circuit that triggers generators only when needed. On multiplayer servers with a shared mana network, this addon helps you spot leaks or unfair resource usage instantly, since every player sees the same accurate figures.
For newcomers, the mod is a learning accelerator. When every unit is visible, it becomes obvious how generating flowers work, what tools consume, and why efficient transfer routes matter. The frustration of a suddenly dead wand disappears, and the learning curve flattens considerably.

The mod also plays well with popular Botania expansions like MythicBotany and Botania Additions.
