Yes, Patchouli books are made with json.

So basically you need only plugin that adds it’s API.

"Topic you never thought you needed, yet you extremely needed". I was just thinking how to solve ugliness of my guide, and you reminded me of Patchouli :D thanks a lot!

Also, question for @Frostygames - does that adding API mean that it's from now on mod's required dependency and you need to tell everyone to install it, or can it still exist as standalone mod?

Sorry for answering after 3 days.

It depends. If you are using API, then yes. (by using i mean in code). If you create patchouli book your mod can work without it. Book will simply cease to exist until patchouli installed.

Zombie_Boy1324, I'd recommend installing the ShadowAPI plugin as that adds a few useful APIs for modding. Open your workspace settings and go to 'External APIs' and enable 'Patchouli'. Say 'Yes' or 'Confirm' to any dialogue boxes that appear and after your workspace refactors, navigate to this path on your pc (for windows) 'C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\MCreatorWorkspaces\[YOUR PROJECT NAME]\src\main\resources\data\[YOUR PROJECT NAME]'. I'm going to make a video tutorial showing this. I will put the link here when it's done. But if you want, you can follow this wiki: https://vazkiimods.github.io/Patchouli/docs/patchouli-basics/getting-started It really helped me make a book. Hope this helps! :)

I made Patchouli book successfully, it's pretty easy actually. I'd suggest heading first to my guide and Patchouli official guide, but if you have any concerns about things, I'm also open for contact (would prefer using Discord for that though).
