GuideNH
by ABKQPO
GuideNH is a Forge library that provides an in-game guide reading interface, letting other mods and modpacks ship manuals and tutorial pages.
What it does
Guide pages are written in Markdown with frontmatter that carries navigation metadata, and the guide system renders them in-game with smooth scrolling. Pages can span several screens, link to one another by hyperlink, and be reached through key-based navigation. Indexed items open their guide directly when G is pressed on them.
Beyond plain text, pages can show recipes, usage information, tooltips, images and formulas. Interactive 3D scenes with annotations show blocks, entities and structures, and step-by-step demonstrations walk through how a structure or process is built. Multilingual pages let several languages coexist within one guide, and search helps players jump to a page or recipe.
GuideNH is a port of GuideME with extended features. It requires GTNH Lib, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.7.10 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source with public links to its source, issue tracker and wiki.
