Minecraft Versions

  • 26.2: supported

Opus is a documentation mod. A book is just a folder of Markdown files in a resource pack, so there is no Java and no JSON to write. Folders become chapters, files become pages, and an index.md introduces its chapter.

Current Features

  • Table of contents sidebar with search, back history, and previous/next buttons
  • CommonMark with tables, strikethrough, task lists, and callouts
  • YAML frontmatter for titles, icons, ordering, tags, hidden pages, and advancement-gated pages
  • Links between pages that are checked when the book loads
  • Recipe, item, and mob widgets written as fenced blocks
  • Translations that fall back to the book's default language
  • A validator that finds broken links and bad widgets before your players do

Planned Features (in no particular order)

  • Tabs, accordions, etc
  • Custom theming / skins for books
  • Tag index pages
  • Bookmarks
  • Multi-block preview widget
  • Advancement-gated content
