Quick answer
Which Patchouli Books release should I use?

Where it goes
Is Patchouli Books required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does Patchouli Books patchoulibooks-0.3.0.jar need?
patchoulibooks-0.3.0.jar. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Patchouli ROFL Edition, MixinBooter first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Patchouli Books add?

Welcome to Patchouli Books! This is an add-on for the Patchouli mod that adds various books for different mods, trying to document them as best as possible. Furthermore there are a few more QoL features I have in mind. This mod will only ever exist for 1.12.2 as I currently have no interest in doing anything on the newer versions of Minecraft. If you want to take a look at the things I encountered while working on this project, feel free to check out my project notes. Furthermore I made none of the art this mods uses. All the art used is either from Patchouli or sourced from various repositories. I've compiled a list of all the sources here together with the original authors and their respective licenses.

Stuff I have already implemented:
- added HEI/JEI integration (you can now open JEI for every item rendered inside a book using the same keybind as for JEI)
- improved JEI integration (relevant books will now show next to the recipe)
- backported Pamphlets from the 1.18 version of Patchouli (needs to be enabled in the config)
- backported PatchouliButton with a few more features
- new Page Types (an iteration of most of the existing ones as well as a new custom one for PedestalCrafting/ExtendedCrafting)
- of course a Patchouli Book explaining the features of this mod
- documentation for various mods (their respective books will only be loaded if the mod is present)

Stuff I may work on in the future:
- backporting PatchouliQuests
- implement the "inventory-scanning-to-open-a-book-entry" thing from Botania
- add new page types (e.g. Boss Info)

These mods are currently documented in this mod within their own books:
This list may seem a bit obscure as there aren't any big mods listed yet. This is because this project started with a few book I already made myself for my own modpack and these were already done before starting this. The list will most certainly grow in the future. Furthermore, I greatly appreciate any help with this project. If you're interested in helping me out, feel free to contact me on Discord or create an issue on this repository.
