How to Make & Use Pure Daisies in Botania

Pure Daisies are essential components in Botania that allow you to create two of the mod’s most fundamental building materials: Living Rock and Living Wood. This guide will walk you through obtaining the necessary materials, crafting a Petal Apothecary, and using Pure Daisies to transform vanilla stone and logs into their magical equivalents.

Getting Mystical White Flowers

The first step in making Pure Daisies is obtaining Mystical White Flowers. You have two options:

Finding White Flowers Naturally

Mystical White Flowers spawn naturally throughout the landscape in Botania worlds. Simply explore and collect them when you find them.

Growing Your Own White Flowers

If you’ve found one Mystical White Flower, you can cultivate unlimited petals through this process:

Place a Mystical White Flower in your crafting grid to receive two Mystical White Petals

Plant one petal in the ground

Use Bone Meal on the planted petal to grow a double-tall white flower

Place the double-tall flower in your crafting table to receive four petals

This method provides a renewable source of white petals for crafting multiple Pure Daisies.

Crafting a Petal Apothecary

The Petal Apothecary is the crafting station used to create Pure Daisies. To make one, you’ll need:

Cobblestone (for the structure)

One Mystical White Petal (or any color petal)

Once crafted, place the Petal Apothecary in your world.

Creating Pure Daisies in the Apothecary

With your Petal Apothecary placed, follow these steps to create Pure Daisies:

Fill the Apothecary with a bucket of water

Throw in four Mystical White Petals by dropping them in front of the Apothecary

You’ll see a green checkmark appear, along with icons indicating seed and Pure Daisy requirements

Throw in any seed from the game (wheat seeds work well)

The Apothecary will produce a Pure Daisy

Using Pure Daisies to Create Living Rock and Living Wood

Pure Daisies are primarily used to transform vanilla materials into their Botania equivalents. Here’s how:

Setting Up Your Conversion Area

Place your Pure Daisy on the ground. You can set up multiple daisies in a row if you want to process materials faster.

Converting Materials

Gather the materials you want to convert:

Logs (any vanilla wood type works; oak logs are commonly used)

Stone (any vanilla stone variant)

Place the logs and stone around the Pure Daisy. You’ll see white sparkles appear, indicating the daisy is actively converting the materials. The Pure Daisy will transform:

Stone → Living Rock

Logs → Living Wood Logs

Harvesting Your Materials

After approximately one minute, the transformation will complete. You can then harvest the Living Rock with a pickaxe and Living Wood Logs with an axe, just as you would harvest normal materials.

Summary

Pure Daisies are a cornerstone of Botania progression. By following this guide, you can reliably produce the Living Rock and Living Wood needed for countless recipes throughout the mod. Remember that you can set up multiple daisies to increase your production rate, and with the white petal farming technique, you’ll have a sustainable supply of Pure Daisies for all your crafting needs.
