Add a text based, in-game manual.
Basically if it is good enough for RWTema then it is good enough for me :)

So the manual is now happening. My first aim is the text. That means the first version will be a very basic manual. And I'm not kidding with the basic bit.

Hopefully once it is in place, I can start making it prettier over time.

Turns out I'm really bad at writing documentation ...... so be warned :)

The actual branch with the manual, not the wrong one that I merged :(

I'm no Shakespeare either, but I'd be glad to help anyway I can.

You can see my first, very basic attempt in the latest release.
It is not pretty ...... in any way :)

If you can make it like botania, where it display each layer of the structure for building.

I would love to have a Botania style manual, but it is probably beyond what I could manage. For building the structure the best I can offer is the Layout Block, which I'm trying to update to show textured blocks rather than just the colored version.

Well good luck with it and if the manual is going to be good as the mod i'm already excited 😀

@Ipsis The idea of updating the layout block is a perfect fix. But there should still be an in game book showing information about each tier such as RF costs, mobs it supports, etc. You simply just make a vanilla book for that. Nothing fancy needed.

When I looked at a vanilla book it turned out not to quite as simple as I had hoped, or I didn't look properly. I think I need to start writing a json handler and mapping that to NBT for the book. It is however one of the things to go back to .... eventually.

First attempt at the manual not going well. Using a Minecraft written book isn't going to work. Too much text and not a lot on a single book page. Going to have to look at a different solution
