M.I.C.E.

M.I.C.E. is a system consisting of books and a bookshelf for beginners to learn the basics of crafting recipes without having to leave the game to read a wikipedia page or watch a video, but still retains elements of discovery and exploration as the books will be developed in stages, so as to allow the player basic knowledge of crafting recipes and shapes but not to reveal every crafting recipe, currently only the basic crafting recipes are listed (basic wooden tools, leather armour, crafting bench and furnace and a bed) in future versions the mod will contain more books with specifics such as advanced crafting, potions, farming and redstone circuits 

currently its very basic, the mod is still under development, please leave any constructive comments you might have,

yes i know about NEI, JEI and most of the other recipes mod’s i had to do research for 6 months into similar systems and gaming theory before i could start writing code (this is my university project)

hopefully at some stage in the future this mod will allow server owners to create their own server guide books using a similar layout

if you’re having trouble installing it just follow along with this video: https://youtu.be/KWpyeTks5qI
