Botania Mana Enchanter

Botania Mana Enchanter is a structure added by Botania. It uses Mana provided with Sparks or Mana Spreaders to enchant equipment with enchantments defined by Enchanted Books dropped nearby, without consuming the books. This is the slowest, yet only way to automate the process of duplicating and enchanting books using the applicator.

Building Enchanter

Botania Mana Enchanter and Enchantment Applicator can both be automated with the required materials.

Materials
  • 3 Routers
  • 3 Activator Modules
  • 1 Wand of the Forest
  • 17 Obsidian
  • 1 Lapis Block
  • 1 Mana spark
  • 6 Mana Pylons
  • 10 Dirt/Grass blocks
  • 10 Mystical Flowers
  • 1 Cyclic Dropper
  • 3 Building blocks
  • 1 Cyclic Item detector
  • 2 Redstone
  • 1 Redstone Torch
  • 1 RFtools Timer
  • 1 Vacuumulator
  • 5 Pipez (+1 upgrade for filtering)
  • Black hole Tank
  • Enchantment Applicator
  • Disenchanter
  • Entangled Block
  • Trash can

Build the Multi-Block structure shown below. Botania Lexica will help visually seeing block positions, then place down 3 Modular Routers facing into the Mana Enchanter, as shown below.

Routers Configuration

Activator Module for ALL 3 routers should look like this. Set the the FRONT face directory (middle part of GUI) as shown below.

Tool/Weapon input, keep this fed with new tools or weapons. (Ex: RS with crafting card). Be sure this is always full with a tool and set it to Pulse

Tool/Weapon Output. Be sure to set this to Redstone Mode: High

Wand Of The Forest. Give it speed upgrades if possible and a wand of the forest and set it to always on, this router always tries to start an enchanting process

Automation Setup

Place a Cyclic Dropper 1 block away from the Enchanter and set to Always Active. Place an Item Detector ontop of the bottom left flower, and a redstone line on the LEFT router

Info

The Dropper will drop an enchanted book triggering the Item detector, which triggers the LEFT router, which then puts 1 tool into the Enchanter. The RIGHT Router (with the Wand of the Forest) will iniate the enchanting process.

  • Place 3 blocks (as shown below)
  • Redstone Torch on the TOP router (against left block)
  • RFTools Timer (100 Delay, with “Pause while redstone is active” enabled) on 3rd block facing right
  • Vacuumulator with redstone on top (Set Redstone Control HIGH).

Setup pipes to pull out from the TOP router (Enchanted Tool), and the Vacuumulator (Enchanted Book).

Pipes will then go into the Enchantment Applicator. Black Hole Supreme Tank on top of the Enchantment Applicator.

Info

Enchanting higher levels will take more than 64 buckets (internal applicator buffer) of XP/Essence, which a Black Hole Tank will be required on top of the applicator to act as a secondary buffer. Liquid XP will work up too level 20, afterwards Mob Essence will be required. The Applicator page will explain best methods of generating XP or Mob Essence.

Pipe the new combined Tool out of the Applicator and put it into a Cylic Disenchanter to split the 2 again

Add a pipe, an Entangled block (linked to the Dropper at the beginning) and a Trashcan. Now set filters in your Pipez extraction point together with a destination tool. This makes the Book go in a loop and come back to the start of the cycle

Rightclick the side of the Entangled block which has the pipe leading into it with the destination tool, add the Book to the filter and remove the NBT tag so all books go to the dropper

do the same with your pickaxe, remove the NBT data, so all (old) tools go to the bin

That should look something like this

Dont forget to put a spark on your Mana Enchanter and get a decent Mana Supply! put a book into the dropper and the whole process should work automaticly.
