Overview

Patchouli is a documentation library that renders in-game guidebooks from plain data files. It adds no blocks or items of its own - instead it provides a framework that turns JSON definitions into a clean, page-turning book you can open and read inside the game.

Because everything is data-driven, you can build a fully illustrated manual using only a resource or data pack: no Java code is required. Books support rich text, recipes, 3D previews, and more, making Patchouli one of the most flexible ways to document a modpack or teach players game mechanics.
