Markdown Manual: Renewed
by ewoudje
Markdown Manual: Renewed is a NeoForge library that lets mods present in-game manuals written as Markdown documents.
What it does
The library is a renewed, ported version of the earlier manual library for NeoForge 1.21.1. Manuals are defined as Markdown documents and registered through a manuals registry, after which a mod can attach a manual to an item and make it available to players. Documents may link to other content documents, and images from blocks and items can be embedded with Markdown-style image references.
Because it is a library, the mod has no standalone function for players. Required setup code lives in the Manuals class, and the content definition format is described in the documentation directory. The TIS-3D mod is cited as an example of a mod that uses an in-game manual. Only the client needs the library to show manuals, while the server may run without it.
The project is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.3.1 as the latest file, first published and last updated on 2026-05-30.

Manuals registry
New manuals are registered through a registry, and the manual is then tied to a registered item.
Linked documents

Use cases
Mod documentation
