v1.7.0

*New Block: Fancy Workbench, an upgraded crafting bench with the ability to create recipe books and has a storage space for 8 books on the front as well as a 9th slot for a active recipe book. Comes in all 6 woods. Place items in the crafting grid and a vanilla blank book into the active recipe book slot and click the arrow to create a new recipe book. With the recipe book in the active recipe slot a ghost image of the recipe will appear in the grid. Another arrow will appear above the book, click that to automatically load matching ingredients from your player’s inventory.



*New Item: Recipe Book, created with the Fancy Workbench, a Recipe Book will remember a recipe and assist in showing the ingredients and the pattern. Right click to open the GUI to see the recipe inside the book as well as a list of ingredients. The player can also write a short page description of the recipe and save the book. An unsigned book can be overwritten in the Fancy Workbench, but a signed recipe book cannot. Signed recipe books can also be copied using the printing press.



*New Block: Fancy Sign, This sign comes in all 6 wood colors and can be placed on the floor, wall, or ceiling. A screw gun or hand drill can be used to shift the sign from the back of the block to the center or to the front of the block. To open the GUI, sneak-right click with an empty hand. In the gui you can place up to 2 items/blocks which can be zoomed, positioned, and rotated anywhere on the sign. You can have up to 15 lines of small scale text, or scale the text up for larger text with fewer lines. There is also a button for adding the formatting symbol from Minecraft to make text formatting on the sign easy. There are several tooltips within the GUI that will help explain how everything works.



*New Block: Sword Pedestal, By popular request, This sword pedestal accepts most any sword, including modded ones, and emits a redstone signal when a sword is present. Can be created with any color wool or can be dyed after creation to any of the 16 Minecraft colors.



*New Block: Desk Bell, a simple desk bell that “dings” when right clicked. Will also accept a redstone signal and will “ding” upon receiving such.



*New Item: Big Book, Tons of editing options including buttons for all the available formatting options Minecraft offers as well as up to 8 “chapter” tabs that will each bookmark a selected page. Per line saleable text. Up to 44 lines of text per page on the smallest text scale. A “first page” and a “last page” button. Up to a total of 256 pages. Full printing press support for signed big books, though due to complexity big books are saved as raw NBT data and as such are not editable outside of Minecraft.

*New Item: Slotted Book, A simple one page book with a slot that will accept item stack. Player can type in a custom title and short description in the book. The title will change the name of the book so it looks just like any vanilla signed book. A great way to hide your secret items amongst your books!



*New Item: Hand Drill, A low tech version of the screw gun. All the same features and functions as a screw gun, but with a different look and new sounds.



*New Mechanic: Bookcases can be adjusted to sit on either the front or back of a blockby right clicking with the screw gun or the hand drill on a bookcase.



*Expanded Print Press support: Supports the new Recipe Books and Big Books. For each of these, 2 separate files will be saved to the books folder in your config folder (SSP) or in your world folder (SMP). A basic file with a couple of lines of basic information for the typesetting table to read and a .dat file that contains the actual NBT compound tags from the books. These pairs of files can be passed around and shared freely allowing Big Books and Recipe Books to be copied to any world. This opens the possibility of stuff like sharing recipe collections or guidebooks for certain mods.



*Added a recipe for the reading enchantment. Simple place any enchanted book plus the reading glasses (or tinted glasses or monocle) into the crafting grid to make an enchanted book of reading that can be applied to a helmet of your choice.



*Fixed the Reading enchant, turned out to be broken after the Minecraft 1.7.2 update so it didn’t work in BiblioCraft v1.6.x branch.



*Fixed hoppers pulling stuff from labels.Labels should now be immune to hoppers.
