The Basics

Botania's Lexica Botania is seperated into three different steps. The first and big one are categories, something that shows up directly when you open your Lexica. They each have an icon dedicated to them as well as their entries. Entries are the next step, basically they are the text deposits of the Lexica. Once you open one of them they will show up pages of text or crafting recipes or pictures. These pages are the third and last step of the Lexica. Each category/entry/page is identified by a unique string called its Key.

If you want to alter an existing category/entry/page, you'll need to know its key. When adding a new Botania recipe, you'll need to supply the pages with the recipe manually as it will not detect the recipe itself.

You can get a list of category/entry/page keys by using the in-game command /minetweaker lexiconCategories/Entries/Pages to output all category/entry/page keys to the MineTweaker log. If you want a more precise dump of entries and pages, you can define the category/entry, for example /minetweaker lexiconEntries [CATEGORY]or /minetweaker lexiconPages [ENTRY].

Removing Categories/Entries/Pages

Categories/Entries/Pages can be removed with the removeCategory/Entry/Page() method. However, removing a Cagetory is only visual. The entries that were inside of it can still be found in the Index so if you want to remove a Category completly you have to track down all of the entries inside of a category and then remove them.

Example:

//Category/Entry/PageKey 
mods.botania.Lexicon.removeCategory("botania.category.basics");
mods.botania.Lexicon.removeEntry("botania.entry.mIntro");
mods.botania.Lexicon.removePage("botania.entry.fIntro", 0);

Categories

Each category is also identified with its own unique string. These are important to know if you want to remove a category or place a new entry in one.

Known Tab Keys:

* botania.category.basics (Basics and Mechanics)
* botania.category.mana (Mana Manipulation)
* botania.category.generationFlowers (Generating Flora)
* botania.category.functionalFlowers (Functionial Flora)
* botania.category.devices (Natural Apparatus)
* botania.category.tools (Mystical Items)
* botania.category.baubles (Baubles and Acessoires)
* botania.category.alfhomancy (Alfhomancy)
* botania.category.misc (Miscellaneous)

Creating Categories

Creating a category requires a texture to supply for the category icon. You'll need the domain and file path for the texture. You'll also need to create a localization for the tab name either through a resource pack or by using ModTweaker's localization changer. The localization key will always be "botania.category." followed by the category key. Categories also have a priority that indicates where it is located in the Lexica. If the number is 6+ it will end up as the first category in the Lexica.

For example, if you wanted a category with the Rod of the Bifrost texture from Botania:

//CategoryKey, Name
mods.botania.Lexicon.addCategory("botania.category.rainbow");
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.category.rainbow", "Rainbow");
//CategoryKey, Domain + ResourcePath
mods.botania.Lexicon.setCategoryIcon("botania.category.rainbow", "botania:textures/items/rainbowRod.png");
//CategoryKey, Priority
mods.botania.Lexicon.setCategoryPriority("botania.category.rainbow", 6);

Creating Entries

Entries are created with a unique Key, a category key and optionally a knowledge type. Like with creating a category, creating a new entry requires a new localization.

If an entry is added through ModTweaker, its name is localized as "botania.entry.[name]" followed by the localized name of it.

If you want the entry to be a bit more advanced, let's say on Elven knowledge level, you have to define it that way. You do not have to add the Knowledge Level if you want the entry to be unlocked alongside of the others when you first get your Lexica, thus it is "basic".

Known Knowledge Type Keys:

* minecraft (Basic Knowledge)
* alfheim (Elven Knowledge)

Example:

//EntryKey, CategoryKey
mods.botania.Lexicon.addEntry("botania.entry.colour","botania.category.rainbow");
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.entry.colour", "Colour");
//EntryKey, KnowledgeTypeKey
mods.botania.Lexicon.SetEntryKnowledgeType("botania.entry.colour", "alfheim");

Adding Pages to Entries

Just creating the base entry isn't enough. The base entry starts out without pages and crashes the game if you try to open it. Once an entry has been created, you can use add[Type]Page() to add new pages to the entry. There are several types of page types, going from text, to image, to crafting and even to lore pages. Do note though, that the crafting pages (Regular Crafting, Runic Altar, Petal Apothecary, Alfheim Portal, etc) do not use an OutputStack as an item for it to define the recipe like Thaumcraft 4 Research Modtweaking does. Thus, you have to "re"-create the recipe in the page creation. That means that they are only visual and that an appropriate script would be necessary.

Example:

Text & Image Pages

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber //Adds a Text Page
mods.botania.Lexicon.addTextPage("botania.page.colourText","botania.entry.colour",0);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourText", "&oThe first and (...)"); 

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, Domain + ResourcePath //Adds an Image Page
mods.botania.Lexicon.addImagePage("botania.page.colourImage","botania.entry.colour",1, "botania:textures/gui/entries/elvenGarde.png");
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourImage", "Guide for Modtweaker"); 

Crafting Pages

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray //Adds a Crafting Page, Out/InputStack are just visual
mods.botania.Lexicon.addCraftingPage("botania.page.colourCrafting","botania.entry.colour",2,[<minecraft:diamond_block>], [[[<minecraft:diamond>, <minecraft:diamond>, <minecraft:diamond>], [<minecraft:diamond>, <minecraft:diamond>, <minecraft:diamond>], [<minecraft:diamond>, <minecraft:diamond>, <minecraft:diamond>]]]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourCrafting", "Crafting the &1Diamond Block&0."); 

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray //Adds a Petal Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "mods.botania.Apothecary.addRecipe(<minecraft:melon>, [<Botania:petal:5>, <Botania:petal:14>, <Botania:petal:14>]);"
mods.botania.Lexicon.addPetalPage("botania.page.colourPetal","botania.entry.colour",3,[<minecraft:melon>],[[<Botania:petal:5>, <Botania:petal:14>, <Botania:petal:14>]]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourPetal", "&oWhy didn't the melons get married? Because they cantaloupe!&r."); 

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray, ManaCost //Adds an Infusion Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "mods.botania.ManaInfusion.addInfusion(<minecraft:golden_apple:1>, <minecraft:golden_apple>, 50000);" 
mods.botania.Lexicon.addInfusionPage("botania.page.colourInfusion","botania.entry.colour",4,[<minecraft:golden_apple:1>],[<minecraft:golden_apple>],[50000]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourInfusion", "Infusing &1Golden Apple&0.");  

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray, ManaCost //Adds an Alchemy Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "mods.botania.ManaInfusion.addAlchemy(<minecraft:sand> * 4, <minecraft:sandstone:*>, 10);" 
mods.botania.Lexicon.addAlchemyPage("botania.page.colourAlchemy","botania.entry.colour",5,[<minecraft:sand> * 4],[<minecraft:sandstone:*>],[10]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourAlchemy", "Breaking down &1Sandstone&0");  

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray, ManaCost //Adds a Conjuration Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "mods.botania.ManaInfusion.addConjuration(<minecraft:sand:1> * 2, <minecraft:sand:1>, 5);" 
mods.botania.Lexicon.addConjurationPage("botania.page.colourConjuration","botania.entry.colour",6,[<minecraft:sand:1> * 2],[<minecraft:sand:1>],[5]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourConjuration", "Conjuring &1Red Sand&0");  

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray, ManaCost //Adds a Rune Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "mods.botania.RuneAltar.addRecipe(<minecraft:stonebrick:2>, [<minecraft:stonebrick>, <minecraft:gunpowder>], 5);"
mods.botania.Lexicon.addRunePage("botania.page.colourRune","botania.entry.colour",7,[<minecraft:stonebrick:2>],[[<minecraft:stonebrick>, <minecraft:gunpowder>]],[5]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourRune", "The &1Cracked Stone Brick&0.");  
 
//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputArray, ManaCost //Adds a Brew Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "[MISSING, WAITING FOR SOUNDLOGIC]" 
mods.botania.Lexicon.addBrewPage("botania.page.colourBrew","botania.entry.colour",8, "invisibility", [<minecraft:nether_wart>, <minecraft:snowball>, <minecraft:glowstone_dust>], "botania.page.colourBrew_bottom.text");
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourBrew", "A simple brew, it mimics a &1Potion of Invisibility&0, when taken, it has a similar effect, giving the individual a &4Invisibility&0 effect.");
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourBrew_bottom.text", "Pretend you have Incursio");

//PageKey, EntryKey, PageNumber, OutputStack, InputStack //Adds an Elven Page, Out/InputStack are just visual. The appropriate script for the page would be "mods.botania.ElvenTrade.addRecipe(<Botania:flower:4>, [<minecraft:yellow_flower>]);"
mods.botania.Lexicon.addElvenPage("botania.page.colourElven","botania.entry.colour",9,[<Botania:flower:4>],[[<minecraft:yellow_flower>]]);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourElven", "Trading for &1Yellow Mystical Flower&0."); 

Miscellaneous Pages

Use /mt mobs if you want a list of mobs printed in your minetweaker.txt for the Entity Page.

//PageKey, EntryKey, EntityName, Size //Adds a Entity Page
mods.botania.Lexicon.addEntityPage("botania.page.colourEntity","botania.entry.colour",10,"Botania.botania:pixie",100);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourEntity", "The Pixie");

//PageKey, EntryKey //Adds a Lore Page
mods.botania.Lexicon.addLorePage("botania.page.colourLore","botania.entry.colour",11);
game.setLocalization("en_US", "botania.page.colourLore", "(...) &othe final Page!");   

When localizing text for research pages, the following markup can be used:

# Special formatting codes:
# <BR> or <BR/>         Paragraph break (<BR/> is included for people using XML for their localization)
# <LINE> or <LINE/>     Insert a fancy linebreak between sections of text.

Item Mapping

With Modtweaker you are able to remove and add Item Mapping for the Lexica Botania. Item Mapping is the ability to shift-rightclick blocks to see if they have any documentation inside of the Lexica while holding the Lexica in your hand. Using our previously made page about Diamond Block Crafting we can now link the Diamond Block in the world to the page that shows its recipe.

Example:

//InputStack, EntryKey, PageNumber
mods.botania.Lexicon.addRecipeMapping(<minecraft:diamond_block>, "botania.entry.colour", 3);
//InputStack
mods.botania.Lexicon.removeRecipeMapping(<Botania:spreader>);
