Adding Books to the Tome
Place the tome and any mod's book/manual together in a crafting grid. The book is absorbed into the tome and the tome is returned.
- The recipe is shapeless: position does not matter.
- Repeat for every mod book you want to carry.
- Vanilla books are ignored on purpose; the tome is meant for mod documentation.
- An automated crafter works as well as a crafting table.
Using the Tome
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Right-click while holding the tome | Opens a screen listing every stored book |
| Click a book in that screen | The tome turns into that book, ready to read |
| Left-click the air while holding a book form | Turns it back into the tome |
| Sneak + right-click a block | Turns the tome into the book of that block's mod, if it holds one |
| Sneak + drop | Ejects the current book as a separate item |
While the tome is in a book form it behaves exactly like the original book, so any mod's reader screen opens as usual.
Tips
- The tome stacks to one; keep it in the offhand for quick access.
- Contents survive death, storage, and world reloads because they are stored on the item itself.
- Adding a second copy of a mod's book does not overwrite the first; both are kept and listed separately.
- The tome is safe to add to an existing world at any time.
Crafting the Tome
Craft the tome with a shapeless recipe:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Book | 1 |
| Any bookshelf | 1 |
The recipe accepts any block in the common bookshelves tag, so bookshelf variants added by other mods work too.
Tooltip Information
Hovering the tome shows its name and a hint. Holding SHIFT expands the tooltip into the full list of stored books, grouped by the mod that added them.
When the tome is currently in a book form, its name is shown as Akashic Tome (Book Name) so it is never mistaken for the real item.
