[Suggestion] New Feature: BetterNether Book

Description
First off, huge thanks for this incredible mod—it’s transformed the Nether on all of our servers
We've noticed that while BetterEnd has its awesome "End for Dummies" guidebook (which I’ve managed to get working with some tweaks), BetterNether’s book (betternether:betternether_book) doesn’t seem fully implemented. The latest log shows it failing to load due to use_resource_pack = false, and right-clicking the item doesn’t work, suggesting it might be a placeholder or an unfinished feature.
Could you amazing folks consider adding (or restoring) a proper Patchouli guidebook for BetterNether? The BetterEnd team have already got the framework in place—why not give us Nether explorers a handy in-game guide to match?
Here’s my request: Could you update the mod to register betternether:betternether_book as a functional item, tied to PatchouliAPI.openBookGUI() in a .class file (like BetterNether.class or an item registry)? I’m no coder, but I know your expertise could make this a breeze, and it’d thrill so many players.
Content Ideas for the BetterNether Book
To kick things off, here are some ideas for what the "BetterNether Guidebook" could include:
Welcome to the Nether: A quick intro to how BetterNether enhances the dimension—new biomes, mobs, and blocks.
Biome Rundown: Pages for each biome (e.g., Crimson Pinewood, Nether Swampland, Soul Plain) with descriptions, notable features (like Wart Forests), and survival tips.
Crafting Recipes: Key recipes for BetterNether items—e.g., Cincinnasite tools, Stalagnate planks, or the Nether Ruby gear. Maybe a section on the Alloying Furnace.
Mob Guide: Info on new mobs (e.g., Firefly, Naga, Hydrogen Jellyfish)—where they spawn, drops, and how to handle them.
Rituals 101: A step-by-step for pedestal rituals (e.g., summoning the Obsidian Golem), with diagrams of setups since those tripped me up at first!
Exploration Tips: Advice on finding structures like Nether Cities or Bone Reefs, plus how to use the Compass tweaks.
Lore Bits: Some fun flavor text about the Nether’s new ecosystem—maybe tie it to the mod’s aesthetic?
Thanks for all your hard work—on behalf of the community, we’d love to see this come to life.
Cheers,
