--- _Ever wondered what makes a Creeper tick? Or what that weird glowing block deep in the caves is? Grab your spyglass, adventurer: it's time to start taking notes!_ **Field Guide** is an exploration-focused mod that lets you scan and discover monsters, animals and plants with your trusty spyglass to unlock them in your own in-game Field Guide! ![List view](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evanbones/Field-Guide/refs/heads/1.20.1/images/list_view.png) ## Features ![Scanning view](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evanbones/Field-Guide/refs/heads/1.20.1/images/scanning_view.png) * **Finally, Spyglasses have a use**! Scan plants and critters at a distance using a spyglass. * **Your own personal encyclopedia!** Every successful scan unlocks a brand-new entry in your Field Guide. * **Reward your curiosity!** Gives true explorers a reason to seek out every rare creature and biome. * **Gotta scan 'em all!** Works seamlessly with almost _every_ modded entity, no configuration necessary! * **Multiplayer-friendly!** Your progress is saved on a per-server basis. Build your Field Guide with friends! * **Take notes!** Write your own notes for each entry, or add [Item Descriptions](https://modrinth.com/mod/item-descriptions) to prefill them with useful information! ![List view](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evanbones/Field-Guide/refs/heads/1.20.1/images/details_view.png) ## Easily Configurable. Made for modpacks! Whether you are using it for your personal game or designing a modpack, Field Guide can be configured how you want it! * Categories and their contents are fully controlled by datapacks, and can contain any entity, block or even multiblock structures like trees! * Allow scanning without a spyglass or require players to defeat a monster to discover it. * Grant XP or run commands when a player makes a discovery. * Add your own descriptions to provide players with clues and lore. * Hide names, entries or whole categories until they are discovered. * And much more...
