Bug fix 2 - v1.0.2

Add:

• You can now place the guidebook into a chiselled bookshelf, stash those books away!
• We’ve placed several items into groups in the creative menu to make them easier to find.

Fixes:

• Ender Crystals can once again be homed to and damaged with character abilities
• We fixed some spelling and grammar errors within the Guidebook.
• We removed a spawn egg, which definitely should not have been in the creative menu! No more placing homing indicators…
