BiblioCraft

## **Synopsis**

Bibliocraft is a mod which adds in customizable furniture, and some functional items as well.

## **Overview**

**Bookcase:** a block that can hold books. For some reason this block is not obtainable in survival in Sky Factory 4. I am not sure why.

**Shelves:** a block that can hold up to 4 stacks of items. Right click on a section of the shelf with an item to place the item in one of the four areas, or right click on the shelf with an open hand to open the GUI and place your items manually. Items on the shelf will be displayed. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version. Use a screw gun on the back of the shelf to move it forward within the block it was placed. Use it again to move it back.

**Fancy Lanterns:** a *fancy* outdoor-style lantern that emits light level 15 wherever it is placed. There are two main variants, gold and iron. The candle in either of these lanterns can be dyed by combining a dye with the lantern in a crafting table. There are also three mounting styles for the lantern; ground, wall, and ceiling. You can change the style with a screw gun.

**Fancy Lamp:** designed like an indoor reading lamp. Emits light level 15. Comes in two main variants, gold and iron. The hood of the lamp can be dyed by combining the lamp with a dye in a crafting table. There are three mounting styles for the lamp; ground, wall, and ceiling. You can change the style with a screw gun.

**Furniture Paneler:** one of the coolest additions from BiblioCraft. A block which enables you to texture any “framed” block from BiblioCraft with any solid block texture. Right click on the furniture paneler to open the GUI or right click on a slot with a compatible item to place it into that slot. Place the block that you want to use as a texture in the top slot, and place the framed item you want to apply the texture to in the left slot. You can remove the new textured item from the paneler by shift right clicking the table or taking it out of the GUI manually.

**Fancy Sign:** a sign that has way more options than a vanilla sign. Open the GUI by shift right clicking the sign. On the right side of the GUI you will see 2 slots, and below them, 3 checkboxes. Any item can be placed into the 2 slots. That item will be placed onto the sign right in the center. To edit the position, size, or rotation of that item, select the checkbox under the item. To edit text, select the middle checkbox. You are able to change the font size with the plus and minus buttons. There are also formatting options. When you hover your mouse over the question mark to the right of the word *format*, a list of options will pop up. To change the text in any of the ways listed, click on the fancy S looking button, and then press the corresponding key from the list. For example, if you press the fancy S button and then press the c key, your text will now be red. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version. The position of the sign can be shifted within a block with the screw gun.

**Tool Rack:** a block which can hold up to 4 tools at once. Tools can be placed into the rack by right clicking on the rack, or the rack’s GUI can be opened by shift right clicking, allowing you to manually put tools into the rack. Right click an item in the rack to take it out of the rack. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version.

**Wood Label:** a small box that sits low to the ground on the front side of the block where it is placed. Perfect for labeling the contents of chests. Shift right click the label with an empty hand to open its GUI and place up to 3 items into the label. These three items will be visible on the front of the label. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version.

**Desk:** a block that can be used for storing up to 9 books. Right click on the desk to open its GUI. You will see four boxes on the left and right, and a single box in the center. You can put books into any of these boxes. The books on the left and right will appear as a stack on the back side of the desk. The book in the center will appear as an open book. You can also add books to the desk by right clicking the top of the desk with a book in the general area that you want to add the book (left back, center, right back). Right click on the open book to start reading it. The page that it is open to will be saved. To remove a book from the desk, shift right click while looking at the bottom of a stack, or at the open book. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version. Right click on the side of the desk with carpet to add the carpet below the desk.

**Table:** a table can hold one item on top of it. This is mostly decorative. Right click on the top of the table to add an item to it. Right clicking on the top of the table with carpet will add a table cloth. Right clicking table cloth with the screw gun will remove it from the table. Right clicking on the table’s legs with a carpet will insert a carpet underneath the table. When tables are placed adjacent to each other they will connect to each other, essentially becoming a longer/wider table. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version.

**Seat:** a block that looks like a cushioned stool by default. Right clicking on the seat will cause you to sit on it. Mobs can sit in seats once they are named. Seats emit a redstone signal from all sides except the top side when something is sitting on it. Right click on the top of the seat with carpet to change the cushion color. Right click on the side of the seat with carpet to add carpet below the seat. Right click these areas with a screw gun to undo the changes. There are various different styles of seat back which can be added to the seat (discussed below). Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version.

**Clock:** a very nice looking clock that tells the Minecraft time on its face (6 o’clock is sunup and 18 o’clock is sundown). Shift right click the clock to open its GUI. Use the numbered buttons to choose what times you want stuff (redstone or chimes) to happen. Hit C to clear the settings you have set. You can also turn the tick sound and the chime sound on or off in the menu, as well as turn redstone on or off. With redstone on, you can set the mode to pulse or solid. Pulse will emit a redstone signal for about 1 second at selected times, while solid will emit a redstone signal for the duration of the selected times. You can place two clocks on top of one another and connect them together with a screw gun to form a grandfather clock. The clock can also be moved forwards within the block it was placed using the screw gun. Comes in 6 different wood variants and has a framed version.

**Typewriter:** a very detailed typewriter which can be used to type randomly generated books. Place paper into the typewriter by right clicking on it with paper (at least 8 pages). Right clicking on the front of the typewriter will type words onto the page. After enough typing, a book will be created. Right click to take the book. Shift right click the typewriter to remove the paper. You can see how much paper is in the typewriter if you are wearing reading glasses. Placing a typewriter on a desk will automatically remove finished books and place them in one of the two back piles.

You can automate the writing process by placing a named mob in front of a typewriter which is stocked with paper. The mob will automatically write. Different mobs will write different stories, some more coherently than others. The typewriter comes in 16 different colors.

**Armor Stand:** a block similar to a vanilla armor stand but with more options. Right clicking on the armor stand will open the GUI. In the center of the screen is the armor stand’s inventory, and on the right is your armor. You can easily swap armor from one side to the other. You can also right click on the armor stand in the correct area with a piece of armor to add the armor to the armor stand. Shift right clicking an area of the armor stand will switch whatever armor you are wearing with that on the stand in that area. If the armor stand is powered, shift clicking will swap everything you are wearing for everything the armor stand is wearing. Comes in 6 different wood variants and a framed version.

**Desk Bell:** a desk bell that is dinged when right clicked. You can also power it with redstone to make it ding.

**Typesetting Table:** a table that can be used for making print press plates (see print press below). Walk up to the table so that you can see the entire top clearly. Right click the bottom left slot with a signed book. This will place a red book on the table. Shift right click the red book to save it to disc. This will turn the book blue. You can take the book out of the table by right clicking it. To make a print press plate, place a *print press chase* in the top middle slot. Right click on the top of the table anywhere that is not a slot and it will open the GUI. Select a book (if there is only one book it will automatically select). Then power the typesetting table. This will turn the empty chase into a print press plate which you can remove from the table by right clicking the bottom right slot. If you want to turn the print press plate back into a chase, place it into the bottom left slot and shift right click it.

To create an enchanted press plate, place an enchanted book in the bottom left slot and place a chase in the top slot. Shift right click the enchanted book with an empty hand. If you have enough levels, which you can see if you are wearing reading glasses or a monocle, the process will work and the enchanted book will be consumed. The enchanted plate can only be used to make 3 books. You can also copy your Atlas by following the enchanted book process. The atlas will not be consumed, but the plate will only make one copy.

**Printing Press:** this block works with print press plates created in the typesetting table (see above). Approach the block from the front. Right click on the center of the block with a plate of any kind to place the plate into the press. Right clicking again with an empty hand will take the plate out of the press. Now right click the area just below the black bar at the top of the block with black ink or black dye. Again, you can right click again to remove the ink from the press. Finally, place empty books on the left side of the table by right clicking with books in hand. The printing press will start creating copies of the book that is on the print press plate. If the print press plate is enchanted, the process is the same but the plate can only make 3 books. If the print press plate is for an Atlas, you must replace the blank books on the left side of the table with an empty Atlas.

**Cookie Jar:** a jar that can be filled with cookies! Any item can be put into the jar. A cookie will appear in the jar for each item slot in the cookie jar that has items in it. When the cookie jar is opened, it emits a redstone pulse.

**Framing Saw:** a saw that can be used to make framing sheets and boards. The saw is not consumed in these recipes.

**Framing Board:** a wooden board that can replace wooden planks in some bibliocraft recipes. The type of plank corresponds to the type of wood used for the framing board. Also used for crafting framed items.

**Framing Sheet:** a wooden board that can replace wooden slabs in some bibliocraft recipes. The type of slab corresponds to the type of wood used for the framing sheet. Also used for crafting framed items.

**Atlas:** a book for managing your maps. I currently do not know of any way to obtain an Atlas in survival in Sky Factory 4

**Atlas Plate:** a plate for copying Atlases in a typesetting table

**Screw Gun:** can be used to rotate almost every vanilla or bibliocraft block by right clicking with the screw gun. Also serves a few other purposes for specific items which are detailed in that item’s section. If a block has two different functions with the screw gun, try right clicking it. It will either rotate the block or not. If not, try shift right clicking instead.

**Hand Drill:** exactly the same as the screw gun with a different crafting recipe, a different look, and different sounds.

**Print Press Chase:** an item that can be used to make a print press plate in a typesetting table (see above)

**Print Press Plate:** an item that can be created using a typesetting table (see above) and are used to copy books in the printing press. Normal plates can be used an infinite number of times, enchanted plates can be used 3 times, and Atlas plates can be used 1 time.

**Enchanted Plate:** a variant of print press plate that can be used to copy an enchanted book up to 3 times in a printing press (see above)

**Redstone: Volume 1:** placing this book in a book case will cause the bookcase to emit a redstone signal strength equal to the slot that the book is in, treating the first slot as 0, the second slot as 1, etc.

**Clipboard:** an item which functions very much like a real clipboard. The clipboard has 50 pages which can be used. Right click with the clipboard in hand to open its GUI. At the top of every page you can add a title by clicking near the top line and typing. Every page has 9 lines which you can add text to as well by clicking on the line and typing. To the left of every line is a checkbox. Clicking once will put a check in the box, clicking a second time will put an x in the box, and clicking a third time will clear the box. You can put the clipboard on the wall by shift right clicking with the clipboard in hand. While it is on the wall you can check boxes and flip pages, but not edit text. Shift right click the clipboard to take it off the wall.

**Seat Back:** there are 5 different types of seat back which can be added to a seat by right clicking on the seat with the seat back in hand. The legs of the seat will match the seat back’s material. The seat back’s cushion material will match that of the seat. Comes in 6 different wood variants and a framed version.

**Reading Glasses:** wearing these glasses in the helmet armor slot will allow you to see information while looking at bibliocraft items without opening the GUI.

**Tinted Glasses:** the same as reading glasses, except you look cooler.

**Monocle:** the same as reading glasses, except you look much MUCH cooler.

**Reading Enchantment:** obtain this enchantment randomly in an enchantment table. Put *reading* on your helmet to gain the reading glasses effect while wearing it.
