📖 Scribble Book

Scribble Book is a lightweight progression mod that turns knowledge into gameplay.

Craft your book, fill it with ink, and start exploring the world —
shift + right-click any block to study it and record your findings.

🔍 How it works

📘 First study — unlock a basic entry with a short description
🧠 Second study — reveal a deep entry with hidden or advanced details
🖋 Each study consumes ink and paper
🧪 Ink bottles deplete gradually and leave behind an empty bottle

This creates a natural progression system where understanding the world is something you earn, not something you start with.

🧱 Included by default (vanilla support)

Out of the box, Scribble Book supports a wide range of vanilla blocks:

Furnace, Blast Furnace, Smoker, Crafting Table, Anvil, Grindstone, Smithing Table, Enchanting Table, Brewing Stand, Loom, Cartography Table, Stonecutter, Chest, Hopper, Composter, Cauldron, Campfire, Beacon, Note Block, Jukebox
