Come one, come all, and toast your buns around the campfire!

CARTOGRAPHY TABLE FUNCTIONALITY

  • Fancy UI which more closely represents what the recipes actually do functionally
  • Provides an easier and simpler way of cloning, extending, and locking of maps

LECTERN

Ermahgerd berks... holder... thingy?

  • Right-click empty lectern to place book
  • Right-click lectern with book to open
  • Current page is persistent and shared between all readers
  • Emits redstone pulses when page is changed
  • Use comparator to get book reading progress
