Akashic Tome
by Vazkii
Akashic Tome lets a player merge every documentation book into one item, the Tome, which keeps all of them in one slot.
What it does
The Tome is the only item the mod adds, and it is crafted from a Book and a crafting ingredient of the mod's own choosing. To store a book, the player combines it with the Tome in the crafting table. Any number of books can be stored, duplicates included. The stored items are the real game items rather than an emulated stand-in or a container, and extra data on the item lets the game turn each one back into its original form.
The mod pairs with Morph-o-Tool in the sense that both work on the same kind of stored items. A transformed Tome can still be used in crafting, though doing so removes every item attached to it. Punching the air returns the Tome to its normal form, and removing a stored book means transforming the Tome into that book, then sneaking while pressing the drop key. Akashic Tome is distributed for Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 license applies. Versions 1.19.2 and older need a separate library installed alongside the mod.
