Universal Field Guide is an exploration-focused mod that lets you scan monsters, animals and plants to unlock entries in your own in-game Field Guide!
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!
By looking at mobs and plants through your trusty Spyglass, you can scan them to unlock entries in your own personal Field Guide.
- 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!
