GuideBook Mod is a comprehensive library and API for Minecraft that allows modders and modpack creators to design highly customizable, interactive in-game documentation using a flexible XML-based syntax.
Overview
The GuideBook Mod serves as a powerful framework for creating in-game manuals and documentation. Unlike standard written books, GuideBook utilizes an XML-based system to handle complex layouts, including formatted text, images, item renders, and interactive recipes. It is designed to be lightweight and highly compatible, making it a staple for modpack creators who need to explain complex mechanics or progression systems to players.
Key Features
- XML-Driven Content: All book data is stored in easy-to-edit XML files.
- Hierarchical Structure: Content is organized into Books, Chapters, Sections, and Paragraphs.
- Automatic Pagination: The mod automatically handles text flow and page breaks.
- Recipe Integration: Display crafting, smelting, and other machine recipes directly in the book.
- Conditional Visibility: Hide or show content based on installed mods or a player's progress (via Game Stages).
- Hyperlinks: Navigate between sections, open external URLs, or copy text to the clipboard.
