Package net.ixdarklord.folios.api.client

Class FoliosGuides

java.lang.Object
net.ixdarklord.folios.api.client.FoliosGuides
public final class FoliosGuides extends Object
Guide books on the client: the books loaded from resource packs, and opening them.

A book is a folder of JSON in a resource pack, so resource packs can add, translate and replace them, and F3 + T reloads them while you write: 

 assets/mymod/folios/handbook/
     book.json                       name, subtitle, landing (the first page's text), style, accent, cover, icon, tilt, distance, page_turn,
                                     textures (page, frame, cover, tab, tab_plate, backdrop), layout
     categories/basics.json          name, description, icon, sort, color (its tab)
     entries/basics/first_steps.json name, category, icon, sort, featured, pages: [...]
Text anywhere can be a translation key, and is written in a small Markdown (FoliosText); the kinds of page are listed in FoliosPageElements, and a book's "style" picks how it is shown (FoliosStyles). Categories, entries and pages can be locked behind advancements or flags (FoliosLock). 

 FoliosGuides.open(MyMod.id("handbook"));
 FoliosGuides.open(MyMod.id("handbook"), "basics/first_steps");
 FoliosGuides.setFlag("mymod:hard_mode", () -> MyConfig.HARD_MODE.get());
The server can open books too, and give them as items: FoliosBooks.
