hello Nuchaz
happy new year 😀 and many to come
i hope you will see this Reply soon
Cause i have a problem with Bibliocraft
i am running windows-7
and MC 1.7.10 with Forge
also the latest version of Biblio

when i started using Biblio the entire mod worked
its a great mod and i love it very much
i made some books and build allot of great structures and buildings with the mod
a big world

but i have a problem now cause the type setting table is not working any more
i can place a book ant it will turn Blue while shift right klicking it
it will not turn up in the table it self
also the printing press will no longer print books
it turns normal books in Big-Writhing-Books
ore it simply uses all the ink ant the book never gets printed

now i really need those 2 to print out the journals i writhe
about the world i have build

can you try and find out how to fix this
greets of a great fan of Biblio

I’m not sure exactly what is going on but it sounds like something strange could have happend to the books that are already saved. If your playing singleplayer than there is a folder located in your minecraft/config/books/ folder that contains all your saved books. If multiplayer than BiblioCraft creates a folder in your world folder called “books”. Try removing all the files from that folder (maybe back them up if you don’t want to lose them) and try to copy a new book without anything in that folder. I hope that helps.

I notice you use 1.8.x in your post and 1.8.8 on the heading… Will the mod be useable by those of us on 1.8 ?

Hmm, that is very strange. I haven’t been able to duplicate this yet or figure out what is going on. Does it work if you create a new world? You wont have to delete any books in your world since after the books are copied, normal books become just vanilla books again.

It may be, it depends on how hard it is to backport. I would like to support the variations on 1.8.x if I can, but I can’t really promise it. I am planning to at least target the newest 1.8.x which is 1.8.9 now then I’ll see if I can backport. The last I tried, I was able to backport from 1.8.8 to 1.8.0 with only about two changes so hopefully it wont be too bad.

Well I did have a try  ! Nuchaz
in a new world it works there is just one thing
when i place the book on the type setting table and its blue
i can open up the table and see my own name
the name of the book is in white letters and is almost unreadable

now about what you say that i would not lose my books
they are gone lost my journal of 6 months writhing is gone
my map is crashing every time i try to load it
and i have lost about 1 year of work in survival style

i made maps 5 wide 5 high 0n the scale 1/5 all gone
all the work gone lost

i am not angry and i am not mad
i am very very sad and disappointed
just lost 1 year of work
like 7 hours of work 6 day’s a week
one entire year long and its all gone

my books are not even in the game any more
i did try to place them back but then the game did not even start any more
it gave me a crash report over and over
taking the books out made the game run
but also made my save crash

so i deleted all of Minecraft on my Desktop here
i just finished with the reinstallation of MC
and now i am back where i started 1 year ago !!!!

and the mod is working
i just tested is it works
the type setting table is a little strange like i sad before

thanks for losing all my work !!!

[ChaosExtremeParticipant]

back again
and i have blown of allot of steam
i got a fresh start on a new map but how to start with biblio
and it working ??
do i need to use MC 1.7.10 ore ???

Sorry for not responding sooner, I’ve be crazy busy with school lately. I am really sorry to hear about your world. I have no idea what could have happened. Sometimes you can save your world with MCEdit or at least retrieve stuff out of it and copy it to a new safer world. Also any books you saved with the typesetting table, as long as you saved the contents of the books folders you can always copy it back into the books folder (in the config file for singleplayer) and reprint any books you had saved.

There really is no special requirements for BiblioCraft. It works fine on the latest version of forge for Minecraft 1.7.10. I’ve been playing with the latest recommended version for 1.7.10 and haven’t had any issues. I recommend against optifine. It has caused graphical issues with BiblioCraft in the past.

I don’t have a 1.8.x version ready yet, but one is in the works. It may be worth noting that BiblioCraft for 1.8.x is a ground up rewrite of the mod and will not be backwards compatible. So when the time comes if you want to use BiblioCraft for 1.8.x you won’t be able to bring your world. You will be able to bring books however by saving them with the typesetting table and coping the files in the books folder. I plan to make sure that still works fine.

Again, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your world. I know how rough it can be to lose a world. I’ve lost a couple in my time. I try to keep regular updates now. I would recommend doing like a weekly or a monthly backup of your world. Just copy the world folder, maybe compress it into a .zip and save it somewhere like another part of your hard drive, or better, another partition or another hard drive. Then save like 2 or 3 versions back before deleting old copies. It’s a nice way to kind of ensure at least if something terrible happens you don’t lose it all.

Best of luck to you.

Its to bad i did not made a backup of my old world
i started all over jup and i have not used Optifine yet

about MC 1.8 the only reason to play that version would be for the Wood options
on doors
for now 1.7.10 still runs fine and got enough options for game play
i am running the Furniture mod at the moment
with applecore
and i am looking for a good food mod
more food and recipes but no extra stoves ore stuff cause i got 2 already

i have started all over on a new Journal Book
and i wil not place the type setting table ore the book press till the book is done !

i am afraid it wil do the same thing if i do place it to early
any way
could you ad a like a crafting table ore maybe change a crafting table so it works the same as the
Furniture Paneler
so you would not need to open up the table any more 😀
now that would be cool

and please take a look at the door option of MC 1.8
maybe you could ad that in your mod to
and 1.8 will no longer be needed by many many faitfull players 😀

Do you know when can we expect bibliocraft 1.8.x?

[ChaosExtremeParticipant]

i am going to hope that it will be possible
to simply ad the new stuf of 1.8.x to 1.7.10 without needing to run 1.8.x
restarting a map you are on for many months becomes a pain in the ass !!!
especially if allot of items became something ells !!!!
so lets just hope there is someone who can update 1.7.10
with all the stuff 1.8.x got

also we need to understand why Microsoft is so slow in updating MC
also why are there no good Mod Making programs yet
making mods for MC must become easy for every one
Microsoft can make a good working easy to use mod maker program

that would change allot and open up allot of options
so MC will go on and on for years to come !!!!

[EriuxParticipant]

I don’t think he will keep updating bibliocraft 1.7.10 because it is a lot of work. Also there is no reason to restart on a new world just because of an update unless worldgen stuff has changed. And even then you could with a lot of hassle put a part of your old world into the newly generated world with MCedit.

About making mods:

If you are serious about making minecraft mods you will simply need to learn javascript and some other things I don’t understand. Also there is this:  https://mcreator.pylo.co/   and this   http://mcmodgen.com/   I haven’t looked into these things myself but I can tell you right away that the options you have are very limited (compared to actual modding).
