Patchouli — FAQ

Troubleshooting

My book does not appear in game. - Confirm the folder path is exactly data/<namespace>/patchouli_books/<book_id>/book.json and the JSON is valid (a trailing comma breaks the whole file). - Make sure the pack is enabled and reload with /reload or by rejoining the world.

A crafting/smelting page shows an empty grid. - The recipe id referenced by the page must exist and be loaded. Check the id spelling and that the providing mod/pack is installed.

Content shows in the wrong language or falls back to English. - Book text is loaded per language. Add localized files under the matching xx_yy folder, otherwise Patchouli falls back to en_us.

Formatting macros print as literal text. - Verify the macro syntax (for example $(bold) ... $()), and that the file is saved as UTF-8.
