Hi, I’ve downloaded the BetterEnd mod which recommended this mod for a guide book but I can’t get it to work. After going through the end gateway I didn’t get the book so I gave Mysore one via commands and I just won’t open. No amount of right clicking can get it to open so I’m a bit lost. I have other mods and optifine but I don’t think these should interfere with it at all.

a bare give command won't work as patchouli books require extra nbt data to work. I would ask the mod author specifically how to obtain their book.

So, the guide book will be given to you only the first time you use the gateway, when you get the corresponding advancement. So if you had already got the advancement before you won't get the book by going through it again. The book is also craftable, you can install JEI to see its recipe. Anyway, i don't know which book you tried to get. The right item is betterendforge:guide_book and when you right click it, either it opens or you will see a message appearing on the screen that says you have to install Patchouli. If you don't see the message but the book is not opening, then you are not using the right item

This issue is stale because it has been open for a while with no activity. Please bump if this is still an issue, or this ticket will be closed soon.
