Clipboard Mod 1.12.2, — Guide

Mechanics

The mod operates through a custom Graphical User Interface (GUI) and specific world-interaction rules.

The GUI Interface

Upon right-clicking with the Clipboard, a window opens featuring several lines for text entry. Each line is accompanied by a checkbox on the left.

• Text Entry: Click on any line to begin typing. Each line supports approximately 20-30 characters depending on the version.
• Checkbox States: Clicking the box to the left of a task cycles through three states: 1. Empty: Indicates a pending task. 2. Green Checkmark: Indicates a completed task. 3. Red X: Indicates a cancelled or failed task.
• Pagination: Use the arrow buttons at the bottom of the interface to flip through pages. The mod supports a vast number of pages (up to 200 in some versions), allowing for categorized lists (e.g., "Base Materials," "Mob Farm Steps," "End Preparation").

Data Handling

Because the data is stored in the item's NBT (Named Binary Tag) data, the Clipboard can be passed between players in multiplayer. Any player holding the item can read and edit the existing notes.

Items

Clipboard

The primary item added by the mod. It serves as a portable notebook that stores all user-entered data.

When held in the main hand, the player can interact with the Clipboard to manage their tasks. It does not consume resources to write in and can be edited indefinitely.

Blocks

Placed Clipboard

While primarily an item, the Clipboard can be placed into the world as a block. This allows it to function as a physical notice board or a shared task list for multiplayer bases.

• Placement: To place the Clipboard, the player must Sneak + Right-Click on any solid surface. It can be placed on the top, sides, or bottom of blocks.
• Visuals: When placed, the Clipboard model displays the first few lines of the current page, allowing players to see their top priorities without opening the GUI.
• Interaction: Right-clicking a placed Clipboard opens the same editing interface as the item version. Breaking the block will drop the Clipboard item with all its data preserved.

Recipes

The Clipboard is inexpensive to craft, requiring only basic early-game materials.

Crafting Recipe

To craft a Clipboard, combine an Ink Sac, a Feather, a piece of Paper, and a Wooden Pressure Plate in a crafting grid.

Note: Any type of wooden pressure plate (Oak, Spruce, Birch, etc.) can be used in the recipe.
