✨ About

Guide books for mods, written as JSON in a resource pack. Folios gives your mod a manual players actually want to open: a book on the screen, or held open in their hands in the world, with recipes, builds, quests and more.

Books are plain files in assets/<namespace>/folios/<book>/, so resource packs can add, translate and restyle them, and F3 + T reloads them while you write.

📖 Two ways to read

  • Screen books: a flat book in the middle of the screen with the world dimmed around it, ribbon tabs for its parts, bookmarks, search and light or dark paper.
  • Handheld books: raised from the hotbar and opened in your hands, its leaves turning in the world, its pages pressed with the pointer. Players nearby see you reading and can read along.

🧩 Every kind of page

Text with a small Markdown, spotlights, images, crafting, smelting, stonecutting and smithing recipes, turning 3D scenes of entities and builds, maps of linked places, quests and your own page types.

🏗️ Builds you can follow

A build page shows its blocks needed and, with one click, stands the build in the world as ghost blocks to place, layer by layer, with a panel tracking what is left.

🏆 Quests and progress

Objectives followed live (advancements, entries read, items carried, flags from code), toasts when a quest is done, and celebrations when a category or the whole book is mastered. Entries can be locked behind advancements or flags.

✍️ Make your own

Start from the book template, a complete example resource pack with every kind of page and a README of every key. Mods can open books from code, give players book items and add their own page types and reveal effects.
