Frequently asked questions

How do I get my first Lore Codex?
The Lore Codex is a craftable item that you can make using the recipe provided in the mod. Once crafted, right-click it to open your book collection browser. If you don't have the recipe, you can use `/rpglore codex give` to receive one directly.
Why aren't my custom books showing up after I added them to the config folder?
You need to run `/rpglore reload` in chat after adding or editing JSON files—the mod doesn't automatically detect new books. Check your JSON syntax with `/rpglore validate [book_id]` to catch any formatting errors that might prevent loading.
Can I make books drop only from specific mobs or biomes?
Yes, the mod supports conditional drops based on biome, dimension, weather, time of day, and height level. Configure these conditions in your book's JSON file to control exactly when and where each book appears.
Do I need to restart my game to add new books?
No, you can reload all books without restarting by typing `/rpglore reload` in chat. This lets you test and iterate on custom stories while playing.
