Book and Quick Save Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I enable the save prompt when closing a book?
The mod works automatically once installed—whenever you try to close the book GUI, a confirmation screen will appear asking whether you want to save or discard your changes. No configuration is needed.
What's the difference between saving and signing a book?
Saving keeps your edits in the book so you can continue editing later, while signing finalizes the book and locks it from further edits. This mod lets you save without signing by choosing "Save" on the confirmation prompt.
Can I recover a book after I accidentally chose to discard changes?
No—once you confirm discard on the prompt, those edits are lost permanently. The mod's confirmation screen is designed to prevent this, so take a moment to choose carefully.
Does this mod work with signed books?
No, this mod only affects unsigned books that are still being edited. Once a book is signed, it cannot be edited and the mod has no effect.
What happens if I press the Done button instead of closing the GUI?
Pressing "Done" without signing will discard your changes—the confirmation prompt only appears when you try to close the GUI by other means, like pressing Escape or clicking outside the window.
Can I turn off the save prompt if I don't want it?
Check your mod configuration options—some versions of the mod may allow you to disable the confirmation prompt, though the default behavior is to show it.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
No, this mod is lightweight and only adds a confirmation screen when closing books; it has no impact on game performance.
Will this mod work with other mods that add books or writing features?
The mod should work with most book-related mods, but compatibility depends on how those mods interact with the standard book GUI. Test in-game if you're using multiple book mods together.
What if I want to discard changes on purpose?
Simply select "Discard" when the confirmation prompt appears after closing the book GUI. This lets you intentionally abandon edits without worry.
Does the mod save my book to a file or only keep it in my inventory?
The mod only affects the in-game book item in your inventory—it doesn't export or back up books to external files. Your saved book remains in your inventory until you sign it or drop it.
