The Guide Book
Applies to Motorcade 0.0.0-beta.1 for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).
Motorcade ships an in-game manual, Motorcade Guide, powered by the required Vellumli mod.
It appears in the mod's own Motorcade creative tab. There is no crafting recipe for it — not in Motorcade's 75 recipes and not in Vellumli's. If you are in survival you will need Vellumli's command:
/open-vellumli-book motorcade:motorcade_guide
Right-click the book to open it. Vellumli also registers it in the bookshelf_books and lectern_books tags, so you can shelve it or put it on a lectern.
Fourteen entries in four categories, in English and Spanish:
| Category | Entries |
|---|---|
| Getting Started | Welcome, Auto Mechanic Table, Automobile Assembler, Crowbar |
| Automobile Parts | Frames, Engines, Wheels, Attachments |
| Roads & Terrain | Slopes, Dash Panels, Off-Road Tiles, Autopilot Signs, Launch Gel |
| Driving | Controls |
The Getting Started and Roads & Terrain entries carry full crafting recipes for the blocks, pulled straight from the mod's own recipe files.
The Automobile Parts entries explain what each part does — what weight does to a frame, what torque and speed mean for an engine, what size and grip mean for a wheel — and then list every part, grouped by family.
The parts entries have no crafting pages. That is deliberate: those recipes use Motorcade's own recipe type, which is not a 3×3 grid, and Vellumli's crafting renderer cannot draw it. The pages are text only. The recipes themselves are visible on the Auto Mechanic Table.
The book does not follow your language setting. The category and entry names are written as plain strings inside the book's JSON rather than as translation keys, so they show English or Spanish depending on which version of the book you have, not on your client language. The book's own title, subtitle and landing text do come from the language file. There is no Chinese version of the book.

The Chinese file is missing the guide book title, all the control hints, the horn subtitles, a couple of blocks and attachments, and every rickshaw frame and prefab name. It also still carries leftovers from the original mod's creative tabs and from MidnightControls. Everything else is fine.
If your client speaks Chinese, expect some English in the interface.
The book has a Controller (Controlify) page. Controller support is not implemented in this build, so the page describes something that does not currently work.
