# Documentation System [`doc`]
|
|
This mod provides a simple and highly extensible form in which the user
|
|
can access help pages about various things and the modder can add those pages.
|
|
The mod itself does not provide any help texts, just the framework.
|
|
It is the heart of the Help modpack, on which the other Help mods depend.
|
|
|
|
Current version: 1.2.1
|
|
|
|
## For players
|
|
### Accessing the help
|
|
To open the help, there are multiple ways:
|
|
|
|
- Use the `/helpform` chat command. This works always.
|
|
- If you use one of these mods, there's a help button in the inventory menu:
|
|
- Unified Inventory [`unified_inventory`]
|
|
- Simple Fast Inventory Buttons [`sfinv_buttons`]
|
|
- Inventory++ [`inventory_plus`]
|
|
|
|
The help itself should be more or less self-explanatory.
|
|
|
|
This mod is useless on its own, you will only need this mod as a dependency
|
|
for mods which actually add some help entries.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden entries
|
|
Some entries are initially hidden from you. You can't see them until you
|
|
unlocked them. Mods can decide for themselves how particular entries are
|
|
revealed. Normally you just have to proceed in the game to unlock more
|
|
entries. Hidden entries exist to avoid spoilers and give players a small
|
|
sense of progress.
|
|
|
|
Players with the `help_reveal` privilege can use the `/help_reveal` chat
|
|
command to reveal all hidden entries instantly.
|
|
|
|
### Maintenance
|
|
The information of which player has viewed and revealed which entries is
|
|
stored in the world directory in the file `doc.mt`. You can safely reset
|
|
the viewed/revealed state of all players by deleting this file. Players
|
|
then need to start over revealing all entries.
|
|
|
|
## For modders and game authors
|
|
This mod helps you in creating extensive and flexible help entries for your
|
|
mods or game. You can write about basically anything in the presentation
|
|
you prefer.
|
|
|
|
To get started, read `API.md` in the directory of this mod.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you want to add help texts for items and nodes, refer to the API
|
|
documentation of `doc_items`, instead of manually adding entries.
|
|
For custom entities, you may also want to add support for `doc_identifier`.
