Grimoire O’ Guides

Heads up: this mod needs Lore O’ Libs, whose file is still under CurseForge review. Until that file is approved and downloadable, this mod will not load. This note comes down the day it is.

Grimoire O’ Guides, part of the Almanac O’ Adventures modpack utility series.

Grimoire O’ Guides puts every Patchouli guidebook in your pack on one shelf, to read inside one book. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is tied to any one mod: add or remove mods and the book changes with them.

Open it from the book button on the pause menu, next to Back to Game. You can also type /catalog, or bind a key under Controls.

What it does

• All your guidebooks together, listed by mod, complete with their chapters.
• Read them inside the Grimoire: text, items, recipes and pictures, page by page.
• Search them like any other page of the book.
• No more carrying an inventory full of guidebooks.

How it changes your game

It adds no blocks, items or creatures. It adds a book button to the pause menu and the book behind it. If none of your mods comes with a Patchouli guidebook, its shelf is empty and it says so.

Also in the book

• Journal O’ Journeys: your screenshots as polaroids, a scrapbook, and stickers you win by playing.
• Manual O’ Mods: a page for every mod you have installed.
• Search by what a thing is, a page slider with every mod marked by its icon, and survival mode, where a page stays hidden until you have found the thing yourself.
• Profiles: everything you have switched off, as one code you can paste into another pack.

Requirements

• Lore O’ Libs: required. It is the book itself, shared by every O’ series mod.
• Patchouli: the guidebooks the Grimoire shows are Patchouli books. Without it there is nothing to shelve.
• Currently for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. 1.21.1 is planned next, with Fabric on the way.

Part of the O’ series

Install this book alone or alongside the other O’ series books. All five come in one file as Almanac O’ Adventures. Do not install the Almanac and this file together.

Found a problem? Report it from the book

Open the close-up of anything that looks wrong and press the ! button. Pick what the problem is, and the book takes a screenshot of the page and opens our GitHub page with the report already written for you. The screenshot is waiting on your clipboard: click the box, press Ctrl+V, then Submit. You need a free GitHub account, and nothing is sent until you press Submit yourself.

Reports turn into fixes for everyone. When you join a world the book reads one small public list of fixes, so a creature, structure or item that was reported gets put right without waiting for a new download. Nothing about you is sent, and it can be switched off in the config.

See what has been reported, or tell us about anything else: GitHub issues for the Almanac and every O’ series mod.
