BEER guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.0.3

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

BEER doesn't add machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling that the sources describe. Its mechanics all revolve around one thing: the enchanting table. It extends how far away bookshelves can be, and it lets you adjust that range per table by right-clicking with items.^[1]

Enhanced bookshelf detection

The mod's in-game info says bookshelves can sit further from an enchanting table than in vanilla. Each table also shows its own range in its tooltip as a width x height x width value, so you can check what a table is set to without guessing.^[1]

The default range is also configurable through the mod's config file. The exact default numbers aren't in the sources I have, so check the in-game tooltip on your table.^[1]

Changing a table's range with items

You modify an individual table by right-clicking it with a modifier item. Each modifier item changes one axis: width along X, height along Y, or width along Z. Holding the item in your offhand decreases the range instead of increasing it.^[1]

Item-based modifiers are switched on in this pack through enableItemModifiers. Each use changes the range by 1, set by modifierAmountPerUse. The mod allows that setting to go from 1 to 10.^[2]

You can't stack changes forever. maxItemModifiersPerAxis caps the modifiers on each axis, positive or negative, at 5 in this pack. The mod allows values from 1 to 32.^[2]

Item consumption

The recipe viewer marks each modifier item as either consumed or not consumed. In this pack consumeItems is true, so items are consumed when you modify a table.^[1][2]

XP costs

enableXpCosts is false in this pack, so changing a table's range costs no XP. If you turn it on, increasing the range costs XP and decreasing it gives XP back. The amount is set by xpCostPerModifier, which is 50 per modifier level here.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't say which items work as range modifiers, what a table's default range is, or how the modifiers are obtained. No recipes for BEER items were provided either.

Good news: BEER keeps its settings simple, and everything lives in one file, config/beer-common.toml. In this pack, every option matches the mod default, so nothing here has been changed from what the mod ships with.^[2]

Turning the feature on and off

• enableItemModifiers is true. This enables item-based enchanting table modifications, which is the main feature of the mod. Set it to false and that feature is switched off.^[2]
• consumeItems is true. Items are consumed when you use them to modify enchanting tables. That is the mod default.^[2]

XP costs

• enableXpCosts is false, so XP costs for item modifiers are off. If you turn it on, increasing costs XP and decreasing gives XP back.^[2]
• xpCostPerModifier is 50, the same as the mod default. It only matters once XP costs are enabled. Increasing costs that much XP and decreasing gives that much back. The allowed range is above 1.^[2]

How far you can push the modifiers

• maxItemModifiersPerAxis is 5, the mod default. It caps how many item modifiers you can apply per axis, positive or negative. The allowed range is 1 to 32.^[2]
• modifierAmountPerUse is 1, the mod default. It sets how much each item use modifies the range. The allowed range is 1 to 10.^[2]
