Guide-API-VP aka Village and Pillage

About
Allows easy creation of a guide book for your mod.
Books are mostly maintained by Guide-API (it registers them, it puts them in it's own creative tab, etc).
The guide book is created mostly in code whereas e.g. Patchouli is mostly JSON based. This means:
- Add or change content based on the configuration of your mod.
- Wrap lines and pages based automatically, so localized strings don't overflow
- Refer to the set keybindings
- Refer to internal constants, balancing values etc so they are automatically changed in the book if you change them in the mod
- Add custom page types, recipe types, etc.
- Use helper methods to generate parts of the book automatically
What else?
- No hard dependency, if Guide-API is not present at runtime the book won't be there, but everything else works
- Use TextFormatting and manual \n
- Several ready-to-use page types like text, item/block focused text, recipe, and image pages
