FOSS Bibliocraft replacement for the modpack | GT New Horizons | Page 1

Bibliocraft is one of the best mods when it comes to random nice features early game! You want to have a list of what contains your nearby chests? use the stockroom catalog! You need to display your new sets of armors and new tools? Use the armor stand and the tool racks! You want to duplicate your enchanting books ? Use the typesetting table! You are searching for a nice way to display the music discs you just acquired? use the disc rack! It also brings many furnitures to the pack, like chairs, tables, clocks, shelves, and many more!

But the mod itself comes with two main downsides, the first is that it's closed source, so we must use Mixins / ASM to edit the slightest piece of code from the mod. It's not really convenient. The other is that the mod is incredibly bugged, has some rendering performance issues and allow for some nasty exploits (patched in the pack obviously). NH really needs a furniture mod like bibliocraft that we could edit to our needs!

If you are interested to contribute on this topic, let me know, as i'll be the lead of this project.

FOSS Bibliocraft replacement for the modpack

Has NucHaz refused to make the 1.7.10 version of the mod open source? Previously he has open sourced the 1.12 and later versions of the mod since he couldn’t maintain them.

Tried to backport 1.12 since it MIT, got it working except for rendering of models , recipes and some blocks not working

Sounds promising

we asked on his github, he mostly just ignored the request

nice

pulsar vigil Feb 1, 2025, 12:14 AM

#

Aren't there multiple json model renderer implementations in the pack at this point?

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 1:52 AM

#

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 1:55 AM

#

Looks like progress! 🥳

#

What currently happens if you replace the old 1.7.10 version with your version? I assume every Bibliocraft block breaks pretty much? Or does it work to some extent?

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:01 AM

#

haven't tested yet

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:03 AM

#

I guess care would need to be taken to either migrate any NBT data, or to adapt the modern stuff to use the old/existing format..

#

Do you know at the top of your head how big the difference is gameplay wise between the 1.7.10 version and the 1.12.2 version?

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:05 AM

#

I think they are identical with few differences

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:07 AM

#

Ok, that's nice

#

Do you currently have any big blockers or is it just "work that needs to be done"?

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:08 AM

#

blockers?

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:09 AM

#

Like challenges that you don't know how to solve

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:10 AM

#

a few like rendering the blocks in inventory but i can always look at examples

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:11 AM

#

Sounds good. 🙂 It's a mod that I haven't used that much, but I do like the content so it would be really nice to have a version we have control over.

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:12 AM

#

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:12 AM

#

So thanks a lot for working on this

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:15 AM

#

You're welcome, and it's also a good learning experience

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:15 AM

#

🙂

#

Since it's a backport, do you use the upstream json models etc to render these blocks?

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:16 AM

#

using IModelCustom

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:17 AM

#

I'm not sure if you're aware, but I'm the main dev of our Dynmap fork GTNH-Web-Map, so I'm always very interested in how to render blocks and stuff, and Bibliocraft has been one of the harder mods for me to support so far.

solemn flint Feb 2, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

We can change that once I have it fully working

pulsar vigil Feb 2, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

Yeah, no pressure on you in any way, I was just curious. From my personal perspective, life would be easier if as much as possible use the modern json stuff, because I can (probably) work with that quite easily as compared to the old in-code model stuff, but that's always going to be secondary to making sure it renders/behaves correct in game and all that, so by all means, do whatever makes your life easier in supporting the main pack contents.

@solemn flint do you have the backport on GitHub?

solemn flint Feb 4, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

hushed nimbus <@697730058579869709> do you have the backport on GitHub?

I haven't uploaded it yet

hushed nimbus Feb 18, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

@solemn flint are you still working on this port?

solemn flint Feb 18, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

Yes, but I’ve been busy so not much progress

lone spear Apr 10, 2025, 7:06 PM

#

Oh I hadn't noticed this effort, it's awesome that you got it to work at all

#

It's a shame the author never replied to give 1.7.10 permission, even without source code.

hushed nimbus Apr 11, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

Well, the 1.12.2 version is open source with a decent license. So as long as we are back porting the 1.12 version instead of yanking code from the 1.7.10 version it should be good (not a lawyer tho)

solemn flint Apr 15, 2025, 5:13 PM

Is anyone thirsty?

#

I like what I'm seeing.

Hopefully that block is feeling less dupe happy

solemn flint Apr 15, 2025, 5:51 PM

#

lone spear Hopefully that block is feeling less dupe happy

It dupes items?

lone spear Apr 15, 2025, 5:56 PM

#

solemn flint It dupes items?

The workbench & recipe books used to be craftable in the pack. I believe they were removed because we had no easy way to solve the buggy interactions it had. Try it out with recipes involving GT tools.

solemn flint Apr 15, 2025, 5:57 PM

#

how do i save the recipes

lone spear Apr 15, 2025, 5:58 PM

Check for this interaction when you get a chance.

opal vigil Apr 15, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

1.12 backport?

solemn flint Apr 15, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

yes

opal vigil Apr 15, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

🥳

#

Any github repo with it active on?

lone spear Apr 15, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

I can't wait until we can actually expand what's in that mod and better integrate it with the pack.

opal vigil Apr 15, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

once it's not hot trash, that's a good starting point 😛

lone spear Apr 15, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

What's hot trash about it besides the 1.7.10 license?

opal vigil Apr 15, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

ARR
Buggy AF

#

and #2 is an issue largely because of #1

#

similar to things like Decocraft... non performant, buggy, laggy... but can't be fixed because of the license (easily without asm hax)

solemn flint Apr 15, 2025, 6:24 PM

#

lone spear Check for this interaction when you get a chance.

unfortunately the bug still exist but can try fixing it later

solemn flint What wonders can EndlessIDs do

wait
does this mean the Bibliocraft 1.12 backport will require EndlessIDs?

solemn flint Oct 25, 2025, 6:57 AM

#

It does make it easier to add more wood types. So instead of having to create separate blocks like blocktoolrack1 and blocktoolrack2, it can all be consolidated into one block.

glacial fiber Oct 25, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

that's cool

solemn flint Oct 26, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

I switched the main block to ISBRH, and the item inside the block is still TESR.

#

and most likely I'll take the blocks model from https://github.com/MinecraftschurliMods/Bibliocraft-Legacy/tree/main/src/main/resources/blockbench

It’s this. It is nowhere near usable

solemn flint Oct 27, 2025, 6:56 PM

Finally finished porting the typewriter!

solemn flint Nov 6, 2025, 8:56 AM

I decided to implement it like in 1.12, where it uses meta values 0-6. Meta 6 will store a render texture, allowing me to create an infinite number of variants. In addition to this, which isn't in 1.12, it will function like Carpenter's Blocks, enabling you to right-click the framed block with another block to copy its texture.
