Description

The typewriter will create randomized procedurally generated books. It also comes in all 16 colors. The typewriter also works well with the desk which will automatically remove finished books from the typewriter and place them on the desk.

Also supports reading glasses and displays the number of pieces of paper in the typewriter, or, if a book is currently finished, the name of the book.

Special note on typewriter stories: Unique versions stories are written when used with different mobs. Villagers write the most coherent stories, other mobs write less and less coherently. Other mobs include: pigs, chickens, cows (also mooshroom), sheep, wolves, ocelot, creeper, zombie, and enderman. The current implementation of procedural stories is a first pass and not nearly as fleshed out as I want. The stories will likely evolve quite a bit over time.

Usage

To use, place at least 8 paper onto the typewriter by right clicking the typewriter with paper in your hand. (Sneak click to remove paper). Right click the front of the block to type. After a certain amount of typing, a book is created; right click again to remove the book. If the typewriter is sitting on a BiblioCraft desk, the book will automatically get transferred to one of the 2 back slots on the desk. The typewriter can be automated using passive or aggressive mobs. To do so, the mob must have a name (from a Name Tag) and be directly in front of the typewriter (Use a seat as an easy way to keep a mob in front of a typewriter).
