Mantle Mod — Reference

Blocks and Items

While Mantle is a library, it provides the logic and base templates for several iconic blocks and items.

Crafting Station

The Crafting Station is a specialized version of the vanilla Crafting Table. Its primary advantage is its Persistent Inventory: items placed in the crafting grid remain there even after the player closes the interface.

• Inventory Linking: If a chest or other inventory block is placed adjacent to the Crafting Station, the player can access that chest's contents directly from the crafting UI via side tabs.
• Compatibility: It supports complex recipes that require player access or specialized data, which vanilla crafting tables often struggle to handle.

In-Game Manuals (Books)

Mantle provides the API for the high-quality, illustrative books found in SlimeKnights mods (e.g., Materials and You). These books support: * Rich text formatting and images. * Dynamic recipe displays. * Advancement-locked sections. * Searchable indexes.
