Building Custom Guidebooks with Recipes and Interactive Buttons

Whether you are putting together a helpful manual for friends on a server or creating guides for a custom modpack, Enchiridion includes an Advanced Book Editor for designing custom in-game books.

Getting Started and Styling Your Book

Before designing your first manual, read the default book included with the mod. It explains the core features and helps you get comfortable with how the editor works. Once you begin editing a custom book, set up its visual presentation first:

1. Change the book's icon in the editor so players can immediately recognize it inside their inventory or Book Binder.

2. Customize the page background to match the visual style of your world or guide.

Adding Pictures, Recipes, and Buttons

A custom guidebook can display much more than plain text. Use the editor's features to create interactive reference pages:

• Pictures and Recipes: Insert images alongside crafting recipes so readers can see visual examples right next to required ingredients.
• Tooltip Visibility: Choose whether to show or hide hover tooltips for specific items and recipes inside your book, letting you provide full item details or clean, distraction-free icons.
• Interactive Buttons: Add clickable buttons to your pages that perform actions when pressed, such as opening external webpages in the reader's browser.
