About this Mod
PonderingPlus StationAPI for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3
A b1.7.3 mod using StationAPI and babric (beta fabric) that was inspired by a desire to sit and read books and a love for libraries.
- Mod works on Multiplayer with GlassConfigAPI version 3.0+ used to sync configs!
List of changes
- Added the ability to sit by right-clicking any normal block with a book
- Optionally you can disable sitting on the book using the config provided by GlassConfigAPI
- Use the sneak key to stand back up
- If you log out and log back in while sitting you will fall into the block you sat on
- To fix this, install either AnnoyanceFix-StationAPI or UniTweaksTelsAddons and enable vehicle logout/login fixes
- Added the ability to write a message into a bookshelf (this will convert it into a modded block type)
- Right-click a bookshelf with a feather in hand and black dye (ink sacs) in your inventory
- One black dye (ink sac) will be consumed and the block will convert into an editable bookshelf
- Editable bookshelves do not catch on fire, take slightly longer to break, and show a message when right-clicked
- Editable bookshelves drop regular bookshelves when broken and the written data is lost
- Their texture is also reversed to distinguish them from normal bookshelves (they will still use the bookshelf texture from terrain.png)
- The particles are also ever so slightly different as they pull from the side texture rather than top texture
- Once a bookshelf has become editable, you can edit it any number of times without consuming further items
- Right-click the bookshelf (item in hand does not matter) to read/edit the bookshelf message
- Right-click a bookshelf with a feather in hand and black dye (ink sacs) in your inventory
