====== 🌱 Mystical Agriculture Guide ======

**Mystical Agriculture** lets you grow resources like ores, mob drops, and even experience using specially crafted crops. On the **Shadows of Aethro** server, it’s one of the most powerful tools for automation and self-sufficiency — especially for colony builders.

This guide covers the basics to get you planting, harvesting, and dominating the economy through farming.

----

===== 🌾 How It Works =====

  * Craft **Inferium Seeds** and upgrade them into higher-tier essence crops.
  * Grow crops that produce **Essence**, which can be used to craft materials like diamonds, iron, redstone, etc.
  * Upgrade your essence and gear using **Infusion Crystals**.
  * Each crop requires a **specific seed**, soil level, and tier to grow.
  * You can create **armor, tools, and augments** powered by essence instead of durability.

----

===== 🧪 Essence Tiers =====

There are five main tiers of essence used in crafting and upgrading:

  * **Inferium** – Basic starter tier
  * **Prudentium** – Mid-tier
  * **Intermedium** – Advanced
  * **Superium** – High-end
  * **Supremium** – Top tier, used for the best gear


Essence can be upgraded using an **Infusion Crystal** at a crafting table.

----

===== 🌱 Getting Started =====

  * Kill mobs or break essence crops to obtain **Inferium Essence**.
  * Craft **Inferium Seeds** with Prosperity Shards and Inferium Essence.
  * Plant the seeds on **Farmland** and let them grow — no water needed.
  * Harvest them manually or use automation (e.g., a Farmer block).
  * Use harvested essence to craft more seeds, or convert it into higher-tier essence.

----

===== 🔧 Seed Types =====

Mystical Agriculture lets you grow nearly everything:

  * **Resource Crops** – Iron, Diamond, Coal, Redstone, etc.
  * **Mob Drops** – Bones, Ender Pearls, Slime, Ghast Tears, etc.
  * **Elemental** – Water, Air, Earth, Fire essence for advanced recipes
  * **Experience Seeds** – Grow XP
  * **Mystical Tool Seeds** – For gear crafting
  * **Nether and End Crops** – For Blaze Rods, Chorus Fruit, etc.

Note: Some crops may require **special soil** like Essence Farmland to grow.

===== 🛠️ Tools & Armor =====

Mystical Agriculture also includes:

  * **Supremium Armor and Tools** – Highly customizable and upgradeable
  * **Charm Augments** – Add effects like Speed, Strength, or Water Breathing
  * **Paxels** – Multi-tools combining pickaxe, axe, and shovel
  * **No Durability Loss** – Gear uses essence to repair itself

Upgrade gear using **Augment Slots** and **Essence Infusion** systems.

===== 💬 Tips =====

  * Automate crop harvesting early — it’ll save you hours later.
  * Focus on crafting **tier 3–4 crops** for real power boosts.
  * Set up a **Mob Farm** for steady Inferium Essence.
  * Don’t waste Supremium on armor unless you’re ready to augment it.
  * Use JEI in-game to view exact seed recipes and tier requirements.
