Advancebook
by DarkMask
Advancebook is a Fabric book-and-quill mod that expands the vanilla writable book to 10,000 pages with colored, resizable text.
What it does
Advancebook changes the writable book so that a single book holds 10,000 pages, where vanilla stops at 100. Text can be colored with an RGB picker that adjusts red, green and blue values, and font size can be raised or lowered in steps between 8px and 20px. Special characters and decorative symbols can be inserted into a page, and the interface uses button controls for these actions.
The mod adds an Advanced Book Quill, crafted from a Writable Book, a Feather and a Diamond. Bookmarks allow quick navigation between pages, and text can be set bold or italic. Book content can be saved or exported. Interface text is available in English, Russian, French, German and Simplified Chinese. Advancebook needs Fabric API and Java 17 or newer, and it is released under the MIT License as a Fabric mod for 1.20.4. It is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Styled books on a server
Server builds that want decorated written books with color, size and symbols, with book content saved or exported for reuse.

How it compares
Double Books is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4, client-side only and released under the MIT License, so it covers a different game version and does not need the server. BookPaste is open source under the Apache License 2.0, works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.17 – 26.2, and is client-side only. Dyeable Books is not open source, needs the server while clients may stay without it, and targets 1.21.7 – 1.21.9.
