WARNING: The 1.15.2 release has a known issue. I did my best to make it work from the mod side, but it will require fixing from Forge's end, as there's nothing else I can do. NOTICE: The 1.14.4 port depends on the new model loading system which hasn't been merged yet. If it ever gets merged, I'll release soon after. If not, you'll have to move straight to 1.15.2.
What is Guidebook?
Guidebook is a library/mod that adds customizable books.
You can add books through mods, resource packs, or using the configuration folder.
If you used the mod for your mod's documentation or a modpack / adventure map, and want it mentioned here, feel free to tell me and I'll be glad to check it out!

Visit the wiki pages for detailed explanation about the XML file structure and where to place the files.
