Enchiridion v3:
This version is for MC1.8.9 and 1.9.0. Based on feedback it sees the removal of the unused pedia and focuses entirely on the book aspects. The Library has been turned in to something similiar to the book binder except the books are tied to the player instead of an item. It offers up to 65 books of storage, which you will need to own instead of getting for free. The editor has been redesigned and improved upon with jump features being replaced with a full button editor. Allowing for editing of the hover/unhover as well as the action they perform, which now includes opening webpages. The layers are now repositioned by dragging and can be locked or made invisible.As of Enchiridion 3.1.0+ you can now create and save templates, I would like to encourage you to share any templates on the curseforge guidebooks section, as well as any full books you may have created about specific mods.

Note the library texture is WIP, and hopefully should be improved further on
Enchiridion v2:
Info
Enchiridion 2 is a sequel but not a replacement for Enchiridion. Which was my custom books mod that Mariculture currently relies on to add it's books. The problem with Enchiridion one is that it's books were difficult to edit, and time consuming considering they were formatted with XML. Enchiridion 2 comes complete with an IGE for the books this time around, making making books so much easier. Enchiridion 2 isn't just about the books though. It has a Minecraftopedia, which is entirely based on the Civilopedia from Civilization 5. I will be using that to document my mods in the future ingame. Since it's easier to navigate rather than having to skip through a bunch of pages individually. As well as the book, and pedia editor. Enchiridion has a library page. This prefills itself with informational books from various different mods. You can just click on them from this page without having to carry anything around with you. Taking up no slots! The pedia comes prefilled with some articles about how to use the editor and how to make custom books. So make sure you read to them. To open up the pedia, the default key in game is H (for help).

Enchiridion v1:
What is Enchiridion?
This is a mod that started off as part of Mariculture, allowing for loading of custom books from zip files in the configs, handy for modpack creators or people who just want to let people know what's going on, with a mod. It has been split from Mariculture.
Do you have plans, or is this it?
There are various things I have planned for this mod, mostly book and guide related, it will just take some time for it go ahead.
API?
Yes the api has been designed to be standalone, and can be used to assist with creating books for yourself.
What else other than Custom Books? (v1.1 +)
Enchiridion also has the book binder. This is an item, that can store up to 21 mod books, handy for all those guides that you get, portable, and light! The recipe is simply, 2 string and 2 paper. String on left, paper on right, can be crafted in your handy dandy 2x2 player crafting. All you need to do to use is, is right click to open it's interface and place the mod guides inside, you can then right click them from this interface to open them up!

How would you add a book with specific nbt tags to the library? For example we just want to give players the Elven knowledge unlocked in the Botania lexica instead of bothering with the first tier book. Which json file would it be and what kind of syntax would it take?

In reply to brachy84:
Ok. I can't figure out how to make books on a server that can be shared to players. Guess I just give up...
In reply to Sketaful:
Ok, I am stuoid I guss but I can't make a book that others see, they just see "make new book". How do I share a book on the server?
Ok. I've tried the third version some now and I must say I really like it.
It allows you to import images and they'll be saved in it's drawer and so on. Since I know little-to-none on how hard these things (mods) are to code I just wonder, wouldn't it be possible to handle fonts the same way allowing users to upload and use custom fonts in the books?
I also wonder if it would be possible to, I don't know, copy the way father toasts lost books mod let you find the books as drops? Mostly because the books with this mod is so much better but also because his was awesome and isn't being updated. (gotta love how you can make his books rare which means you'll only find each of those books once, and some books are in a serie sp you'll find them in right order).
Oh well. See this as ideas or something. :P
You should add an easy way to change the colour of the text. As is I have to copy/paste the § from a webpage because the one I just type out (like I did here) doesn't count as the right one in Minecraft.
Strange. All text looks like I've marked them, being inverted color with black box.
Happened from nowhere and don't think I've added anything that should do this.
Anyone know what could do this or/and how to perhaps fix it?
In reply to Sketaful:
So. Litemod doesn't work together with this because of the above problem.
Having trouble getting the books to show in the "library" tab. I have all the books added in the library_books.cfg and they've been set to either free, on pickup, or crafted as true. I even tried setting all 3 of those options to true without success. I had it working once but since then I can't get the library to show the books at all. I'd prefer to have them only show when they are picked up or crafted, but even when both those were set to true, it didn't work.
Hello Jack !!
Can you post the API.jar for this mod , because for me the maven is not working !!
Thank you !
In reply to TeleoacaPetrica:
Thanks for letting me know!
In reply to Girafi:
Hey how does one add logic and icons in the books?
Howdy!
Okay, I've read everything what is readable about this mod, but I do not seem to understand what exactly I need to do...
I am using the Enchiridion-1.11.2-3.1.16.jar btw...
So, I made a custom book, saved the template, opened the library (do I need to shift click the library or not? doesn't seem to work anyways, maybe it should, maybe I have to hit my keyboardkey a bit harder..) No joke... - placed the book in there... no save button, so I quit the game, set the edit function on false, restarted the game.
Started a new world, used the hotkey to open library, no custom book.
Now, there is a config ssp.json to add custom book or just books in the library. The custom book I made has the same signature as "create a new book"...
I just don't get it... Like I am making a modpack in 1.11 and HQM isnt updating/downgrading to 1.11 so this mod was my saviour, spending 6 hours making a custom book after many fails, now finding out I appearantly doing something wrong here.
I will try tomorrow again, its far beyond bedtime now, but what do I need to do after the creation of the custom book? Do I need to do something ingame or something within the configs or is 1.11 not supported. If it's not supported, then I am sorry for this stupid message and will write a simple TXT file for people to understand the complexity of my modpack.
Thank you anyways of anything :D
Is there a way to fast reload resources using command or something else on 1.10.2?
F3 + T
Will take a good while if you have a lot of mods though, but quicker than re-launching the game.
I mean this one's for book. I have to fix position for custom background and F3 + T don't work with this :/
If i'm a mod developer, how do I go about using this?
