Credits & Inspiration

Might & Magic exists in a Minecraft universe with a rich history of mods that shaped what magic and technology mean in this game. This page recognises the work we built on, were inspired by, and owe a debt to.

Botania

#

Botania by Vazkii and contributors.

The Verdant Path is a direct spiritual successor to Botania. Mystical flowers, mana pools, the Petal Apothecary, Living Rock, Livingwood — these mechanics and their visual language originate in Botania. We treat them as shared furniture in the Minecraft universe rather than things we invented.

Original mystical flower artwork by wiiv. The flower textures shipped with Might & Magic are Scale2x upscales of wiiv’s original 16×16 pixel art from Botania, used as a starting point for our own redraws. We are grateful for work that set the visual standard for magical flowers in Minecraft.

Botania assets and mechanical patterns are used under the Botania license:

• Attribution to Vazkii and wiiv ✓ (this page)
• Source open and redistributable ✓ (see GitHub)
• Alterations noted ✓ (mechanics changed; textures upscaled from originals)

If you love the Verdant Path, go play Botania. It does more of this than we do.

This page will grow as more paths are implemented and more inspiration is credited. The Sanguine, Summoning, and Rational paths each draw from different corners of the modding ecosystem — those credits will be added here as those paths ship.

Compatibility & Modpacks

#

Might & Magic is designed first as a standalone experience. The balance between paths — and between magic and technology — is tuned around a world where this mod is the primary source of those systems. Playing it that way gives the cleanest experience.

That said, the mod is intended to play reasonably well in modpacks alongside other mods. We make an effort to tag blocks and items correctly, respect common conventions, and avoid stepping on other mods’ toes where we can. If something breaks, conflicts, or behaves unexpectedly with another mod, that’s worth fixing.

Suggestions, bug reports, and compatibility improvements are welcome. If you find a conflict, an untagged block, a recipe that shouldn’t exist, or anything that makes Might & Magic harder to use in a pack — open an issue. Same goes for ideas on how to improve compat with specific mods.

Might & Magic is open source. See GitHub for source, license, and contribution guidelines.
