This seems like it may be vaguely interesting. What other books can you currently craft?

In vanilla, there's three types; The normal book, the writable book, and the written book. My mod just adds one more, and a bookshelf that can hold all of your written resources in a nice compact format.

[Kalmondo]

I advise adding more books. I may check back here occasionally to see if you do. Good luck!

Could be handy if it works with Mystcraft books.

I'll get to work on adding that ASAP!

If you have any suggestions as to what the books should do, feel free to tell me

This mod looks pretty cool! Are you planning to add more books and I'd Recommend that you make those bookshelves be able to hold more books than it currently can because normal bookcases look like they could hold a chest's worth of books.

I'm not planning to add more books unless someone suggests what books to add.
I'm not making the bookshelves hold more, because it's a good tradeoff for the aesthetics.

Hey man great mod ! this will help if i go caveing and have loads of xp i dont want to lose I made a mod spotlight ( Review ) for it.

[wiiv]

Hi sn0re, very cool mod! You should make it that when you fill a bookshelf of your mod it behaves like the vanilla bookshelves around the enchanting table.

Thanks man!
I'll try to get to work implementing that ASAP

This mod is so cool but you have to cheat to get the book because you can't bottles o' enchanting in survival. plz change the recipe or make it possible to craft bottles o' enchanting.

otherwise, great mod and chaz sent me here!

[Pyro1997]

Maybe a less hard-to-find recipe. I know you can get these bottles of enchanting from village trading, but it's hard enough to find villages, and even harder to find one with a villager that will trade one of these.

Yeah, it's hard. Any suggestions for an easier recipe?

[Seth00015]

I Love the idea to be able to store, but as Kyle said, you can't get Bottles O' Enchanting in survival (without other mods of course). If you could change that, that would be awesome. Anyway, this is a great mod, keep up the good work.
P.S. Chaz sent me as well

Edit: Oops, I forgot about village trading but either way, it's REALLY hard to make, perhaps make the crafting recipe bookshelves surrounded by a book?

Umm, I'm not quite sure what you mean about the recipe. How should the XPBook be crafted? D:

[FLYGUY1]

I suggest changing the xp book to a book surrounded by various mob drops. Maybe zombie flesh, bones, and perhaps blaze rods and ender eye, maybe more from other mobs so its harder to get the book. Also by the time you are able to craft the book, it would ensure you have xp to store

How does this sound?

Ender Eye
Book
Blaze Rod
