I need help making a book item for my mod's information, like items and recipes and such, and none of the mods that add a book item like this are open source.

 

This is what I have so far:

 

package com.budboy.am.item;

 

import com.budboy.am.creativetab.CreativeTab;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

 

public class ItemMagicBook extends ItemWritableBook {

 

        public ItemMagicBook() {

                maxStackSize = 1;

                setCreativeTab(CreativeTab.magicTab);

                setUnlocalizedName("magicBook");

                setTextureName("am:magicBook");

        }

}

Make a custom GUI.

Okay, I'll try that

So I tried to make a gui with the Containers and GUIs tutorial on the wiki, but it says it's out of date...

 

Here's the current code for my book:

 

package com.budboy.am.item;

 

import com.budboy.am.creativetab.CreativeTab;

import com.budboy.am.gui.GuiIDs;

import com.budboy.am.main.AncientMagicMain;

 

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemWritableBook;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

public class ItemMagicBook extends ItemWritableBook {

 

@Override

    public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack itemStack, EntityPlayer entityPlayer, World world, int x, int y, int z, int sideHit, float hitVecX, float hitVecY, float hitVecZ) {

 

        if (world.isRemote) {

            entityPlayer.openGui(AncientMagicMain.instance, GuiIDs.MagicBookGui, world, x, y, z);

        }

        return true;

    }

 

        public ItemMagicBook() {

                maxStackSize = 64;

                setCreativeTab(CreativeTab.magicTab);

                setUnlocalizedName("magicBook");

                setTextureName("am:magicBook");

        }

}

It's for 1.6, but maybe this will help: https://github.com/WildBamaBoy/modjam-dec-2013/blob/master/Forge/mcp/src/minecraft/spellbound/item/ItemBookOfSpells.java

Been meaning to look at how it works myself, but got a bigger mod to finish first.
