Description

When worn on the head, the reading glasses, tinted glasses, or monocle allow the player to read pop up text displays of items displayed on the different blocks in BiblioCraft. Every block in BiblioCraft has text information read out. The player can view the names of books on a bookcase without opening the GUI, as well as see what is on a regular shelf and of what quantity. The player can also see what armor is on an armor stand and what enchantments are on that armor. The display case also has enchantment support for armor and weapons. Labels become combination item frame / signs displaying the name of the item in them. The typesetting table displays the name of the selected book as well as the quantity of blank chases left. The printing press displays the book name of the plate inserted into the press as well as the quantity of ink and quantity of blank books left.  The writing desk displays the name of the open book. The potion shelf shows the name of the potion the player is looking at.

Alternatively the player can get the same ability by getting a Enchanted Book of Reading and applying the enchantment to any helmet. The enchantment can be crafted by using enchanted book and either one of the 3 pairs of reading glasses in a crafting grid or it can be randomly obtained by enchanting books at an enchantment table.

Usage

Wear them in the helmet armor slot and look at BiblioCraft blocks. Information will show up on blocks depending on what part of the BiblioCraft block you look at.

Recipe

Apply this enchantment to any helmet to get the same effect as wearing Reading Glasses.

Config Options

Look for these options in Minecraft folder under config/BiblioCraft.cfg

The color of the text that is displayed when looking at BiblioCraft blocks can be changed in the Config. Some colors may be easier to see for some than others.
