===== Mystical Agriculture =====

Mystical Agriculture lets you grow your resources as crops instead of mining or grinding mobs.  
✨ Harvest essence → ⚒️ craft it into materials, tools, and gear → 📈 scale from early game to late game.

----

==== Core Gameplay ====
  * ⛏️ Gather **Inferium Essence** and **Prosperity Shards** from mining and mobs.
  * 🔼 Upgrade essences through tiers: **Inferium → Prudentium → Tertium → Imperium → Supremium**.
  * 🧪 Use an **Infusion Altar** with **8 Pedestals** to craft seeds.
  * 🌾 Plant seeds on the matching **Mystical Farmland tier** and harvest their essence.
  * 🏗️ Combine essence to craft the resource, gear, or item you want.

----

==== Seeds and Farmland ====
  * **Prosperity Seed Base** → foundation of most seeds.
  * 🧬 **Infusion Seeds** → created on the Altar with Prosperity + materials.
  * 🟩 **Mystical Farmland** → crafted by infusing vanilla farmland with essence.  
    Higher tier farmland = higher growth chance.
  * 🔒 Some seeds (Nether Star, Wither Skeleton, etc.) require a **Crux block** beneath the farmland to grow.

----

==== Infusion Crafting ====
  * 🌀 Place **1 Infusion Altar** in the middle with 8 **Infusion Pedestals** around it.  
  * 🎯 Put the seed base on the Altar, ingredients on Pedestals, then activate.  
  * 💎 Recipes get more expensive as tier increases.

----

==== Essence Progression ====
  * 🟢 **Tier 1 (Inferium):** Coal, Dye, Nature.  
  * 🔵 **Tier 2 (Prudentium):** Iron, Redstone.  
  * 🟣 **Tier 3 (Tertium):** Gold, Lapis, Blaze.  
  * 🟠 **Tier 4 (Imperium):** Diamond, Emerald, Ender Pearl.  
  * 🔴 **Tier 5 (Supremium):** Nether Star, Wither Skeleton.

----

==== Crystals ====
  * 💠 **Infusion Crystal:** Used to craft essence upgrades, limited durability.  
  * 🌟 **Master Infusion Crystal:** Infinite durability, late-game goal.  
  * 🪜 Some recipes may require tier-specific crystals (Imperium Crystal to make Supremium, etc.).

----

==== Gear and Augments ====
  * 🛡️ Craft full tool and armor sets from higher-tier essences.  
  * ⚡ **Augments** slot into gear to add effects: flight, speed, strength, step assist, etc.  
  * 🏆 Provides powerful late-game alternatives to other mods’ gear.

----

==== Mob Seeds ====
  * 👻 Craft **Soul Jars** and fill them by killing mobs to collect their souls.  
  * 🧟 Infuse jars into seeds to grow mob drops (Zombie Seeds, Skeleton Seeds, Blaze Seeds, etc.).  
  * 🔁 Great for automating rare mob drops.

----

==== Growth Boosting ====
  * ⬇️ **Growth Accelerators** stack under farmland (limited depth).  
  * 💧 **Watering Cans** speed up crop ticks.  
  * 🔪 **Scythes** and **Sickles** harvest multiple crops at once.  
  * ⚙️ External automation (Harvesters, Collectors, etc.) works if the pack allows.

----

==== Troubleshooting ====
  * 🚫 **Seed won’t grow?** Wrong farmland tier or missing Crux block.  
  * ❓ **Recipe not working?** Some recipes may enforce tiered crystal usage.  
  * 💔 **Crystal breaking too fast?** Work toward the Master Crystal.  
  * 📉 **Not enough essence?** Use more Growth Accelerators or automate harvesting.

==== Q & A ====

❓ **How do I start with Mystical Agriculture?**  
⛏️ Gather Inferium Essence and Prosperity Shards, then craft an Infusion Altar and Pedestals. From there you can make your first seeds.

❓ **Why won’t my seeds grow?**  
🚫 Check if you’re using the right tier farmland. Some seeds also need a Crux block placed under the farmland.

❓ **Do I need water or light for crops?**  
🌞 No — Mystical Agriculture crops ignore light levels and don’t need water. They just need the right farmland and space.

❓ **What’s the point of Growth Accelerators?**  
⬇️ They speed up crop growth when stacked under the farmland. Very useful once you scale up.

❓ **What are Soul Jars for?**  
👻 Soul Jars collect mob souls when you kill mobs. You need them to craft mob-based seeds (like Blaze, Skeleton, or Wither Skeleton).

❓ **My Infusion Crystal keeps breaking. Any fix?**  
💔 That’s normal. Work toward crafting the Master Infusion Crystal — it never breaks.

❓ **Can I automate these crops?**  
⚙️ Yes. You can use Growth Accelerators, Harvesters, Collectors, or even other modded automation systems depending on your pack.

❓ **Why are recipes different here?**  
📋 Because SoA uses Mystical Customization. Recipes (like Master Crystal or Nether Star seeds) may differ.

❓ **What’s the endgame goal here?**  
💎 Unlock Supremium, craft powerful gear with Augments, and farm rare resources like Nether Stars.
