What is Eccentric Tome?
Eccentric Tome is included in this pack as version 1.21.1-1.2.0, shipped as the file eccentrictome-1.21.1-1.2.0.jar. It has been in the pack since 1.22.0 or earlier.[1]
Unverified The sources I have don't describe what Eccentric Tome does, who it is best suited to, or whether the pack changes any of its recipes or configs. I'm leaving those details out rather than guessing.
Unverified The sources don't show any quests in this pack that involve Eccentric Tome, and they don't place it on the ATM Star path. Treat it as an optional extra, not a progression step, until that is confirmed.
How do you get started with Eccentric Tome?
1 part
The first and only thing to make for this mod in the pack is the Eccentric Tome. There is no long chain of first steps: you craft one item and that is your starting point.[2]
Step 1: Craft the tome
The tome is a shapeless crafting recipe, so you can place the ingredients anywhere in the crafting grid. The exact in-pack recipe is shown below.[2]
This is a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can go in any slot of the crafting grid.
How does Eccentric Tome work?
2 parts
The Eccentric Tome is the only item from this mod that the pack's sources cover, along with its recipe and one config file. The sources do not describe machines, multiblocks, power or automation for it, so this section sticks to what the pack sets.[2][3]
Getting the tome
The pack has a shapeless crafting recipe for the tome, so the ingredient layout in the grid does not matter. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:[2]
What the pack's config sets
The pack's settings for the mod live in config/eccentrictome-common.toml. Here is what each option holds in this pack.[3]
- common.items is labelled "Whitelisted items" in the file. In this pack it is a long list of guidebooks and manuals from many different mods.[3]
- common.aliases is labelled "Mod aliases". Each entry pairs one mod name with another. The pack sets entries such as mythicbotany=botania, xnet=rftoolsbase and mysticalaggraditions=mysticalagriculture.[3]
- common.disable_overlay is described in the file as disabling the overlay that previews tome conversion. The pack sets it to false, so the overlay is not disabled here.[3]
How do you progress through Eccentric Tome?
1 part
There is no tier ladder to climb with this mod. The recipe dump for this pack lists just one recipe that makes an item from the mod, and it makes the Eccentric Tome. So the only crafting step you need to know about is the tome itself.[2]
Crafting the tome
The recipe is shapeless, so the ingredients can go anywhere in the crafting grid. It is listed as a mod recipe, and nothing in the dump shows the pack changing it. The exact in-pack recipe is below.[2]
Shapeless recipe, so the layout in the grid doesn't matter.
Which Eccentric Tome config options matter?
3 parts
Eccentric Tome keeps its settings in one file in this pack: config/eccentrictome-common.toml. The source shows the values this pack sets, but not the mod's own defaults. So I can't say which of these the pack changed from default, and I won't guess.[3]
The options
- common.items is the whitelist of items the tome can take in. The config comment calls it "Whitelisted items". In this pack it is a long list of guidebooks and manuals from many mods.[3]
- common.disable_overlay is set to false. The config comment describes it as disabling the overlay that previews tome conversion. With it false, the overlay is not disabled.[3]
- common.aliases holds the "Mod aliases", written as pairs like mythicbotany=botania.[3]
What's on the whitelist
The whitelist covers books from a lot of mods. A few examples are Guide, Engineer's Manual, Guide Book, Modonomicon, Dictionary Of Spirits and Manual (Powah!).[3]
Other entries include Guide, Technology Guide, Food Book and Material Book. If a book from a mod isn't on the list, this config doesn't whitelist it.[3]
Two entries show up twice in the pack's list: Fargo's Talismans Guide and MI Guidebook. That's just repetition in the file.[3]
The alias pairs
This pack sets pairs that point one mod's name at another's. Examples are mythicbotany=botania and mysticalaggraditions=mysticalagriculture. The Integrated Dynamics add-ons (integratedtunnels, integratedterminals and integratedcrafting) all point to integrateddynamics. The RFTools family, plus deepresonance and xnet, all point to rftoolsbase. The pair rftoolspower=rftoolsbase appears twice in the file.[3]
