Traveler's Lectern

Part of the Traveler's Series. Travelers Lectern is a Minecraft mod that provides players with a unique lectern that can regenerate its book after a configurable cooldown period. Built with Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1.

Features

• Automatically respawns books in lecterns after a cooldown
• Configurable cooldown and debug logging settings
• Server-side implementation for multiplayer compatibility
• Custom commands for creating, editing, and destroying Traveler's Lecterns
• Admin-protected lecterns with permission-based interaction

Configuration

The mod can be configured through files in the config/travelers-lectern/ directory:

Basic Settings (travelers_lectern_config.txt)

debug_logging=false

• debug_logging: Enable or disable debug logging for detailed information in server logs.

Lectern Data

• Lectern data is saved in travelers_lecterns.json within the configuration folder. This file is automatically managed by the mod and should not be manually edited.

Commands

When a player with ops permission level 4 (admin) is in the server, they can use the following commands when looking at a lectern with a book on it:

• /travelers_lectern create [time]: Create a Traveler's Lectern with a cooldown in seconds (default: 1800 seconds).
• /travelers_lectern edit [time]: Edit an existing Traveler's Lectern to update its cooldown.
• /travelers_lectern destroy: Remove a Traveler's Lectern.

Usage

1. Place a lectern and a book in it.
2. Use the /travelers_lectern create command while facing the lectern to make it a Traveler's Lectern.
3. After the cooldown period, the book will automatically regenerate if taken out.
4. Admin players (permission level 4) can edit or destroy Traveler's Lecterns using the respective commands.
