This mod extends the book crafting crafting process in VS.

Compatibility

Is compatible with the following mods, and we can only highly recommend all of them:

Tweaks To VS

  • Book crafting is now a three-step process:
    • Craft Signatures from any parchment and tools like a knife
    • Craft a Plain Book from signatures and twine
    • Craft leather bound books from plain book and colored leather and tools
  • With Tailor's Delight, book crafting also requires  awls, needles and leather strips.
  • Scraped hide turns into Vellum instead of parchment. Vellum works similiar to parchment.
  • Ink & Quill crafting now requires quartz crystals plus hammer and chisel

Items and Tools

Craft new book binder tools and items like:

  • Bone or bamboo folders
  • Papyrus strips in wet and dry variants
  • Rough and smooth papyrus sheets
  • Vellum
  • Signatures (folded and perforated sheets)
  • Plain books

Decorative Items and Blocks

  • New Ink & Quill variants - made from colored quartz and precious metals
  • New book colors in exquisite designs: White, black, dark blue and dark red
  • New blocks like lecterns, book stands etc. - Comming soon!™

New Creative Tab

  • A new Library (usable by all mods) groups books and book related content

We hope you enjoy our work,

Tels & Phiwa 🧡

Marlim Not yet, but I have some ideas how to make this possible. Will look at it after I've completed the new Bricklayers release.

💬 Marlim, Mar 17th at 8:25 PM

Does this mod allow you to use lecterns to position books like Minecraft? It would be useful for servers or villages as a rulebook.

Ragolution Nice idea, but I don't think this is possible with a content mod like mine.

💬 Ragolution, Mar 8th at 9:08 AM

Kind of a big request, but would there be any way to allow people to transcribe entire books?

Right now you copy one page, which isn't so bad, but if you make a rulebook for a game, or a novel, or something, it can be really challenging to distribute copies.

My thought was to, maybe, allow binding all the pages of a book together as a volume, but I have no idea how difficult something like that would be.

Ragolution Not yet, they are planned for larger books in the future.

💬 Ragolution, Mar 2nd at 9:55 PM

Are large signatures used for anything, at this time?

💬 Tels , Mar 2nd at 9:22 PM

Sorry, release archive got broken and I can't even delete it. 1.3.1 will be released soon.

💬 Sheepa, Mar 2nd at 5:10 PM

I just went to see if this mod has any essentials because it's writing an error. And I see that a guy here below me has also mentioned it... 😉

💬 Cael_Dranwylr, Mar 2nd at 4:48 PM

I had an error.

[Error] [bookbinders] File 'ja.json.1' is not in the mod's root folder. Won't load this mod. If you need to ship unmanaged dlls, put them in the native/ folder.

Kasyu52 I'm working on a 1.20 compatible release, hope to publish it soon.

💬 Kasyu52, Jan 21st at 12:58 AM

it seems like the folder recipe is broken currently?

💬 Tels , Aug 19th 2024 at 12:26 PM

Maestro Such an overhaul would require writing code and this is not my area of expertise, sorry. (Also, overhauling GUIs is rather complicated, so double no)

Thranos Vellum is it's own item, so any recipe that accepts parchment would still work (with parchment from linen or bought), but you cannot use vellum in these. If you encounter any mod that has recipes expecting parchment and should also accept vellum, I can easily add compatibility recipes. Please send me the names of such mods in Discord. Thank you!

💬 Thranos, Aug 18th 2024 at 2:11 AM

Will this cause any issues with recipes that expect Parchment, due to the whole Vellum thing?

💬 Maestro_, Aug 17th 2024 at 3:44 PM

Is an overhaul of the actual book GUI possible?
