Arcane Repository
by aurakle
Arcane Repository lets books on lecterns and shelves act as a storage network, with auto-crafting driven by book pages, for Fabric players on 1.21.1.
What it does
Storage books work with inventories much as bundles do, and placed chiseled bookshelves can hold their contents. Indexing books placed near lecterns expose the contents of connected storage, so a centralized system can grow over time. Filter pages with blacklist or whitelist rules control what is inserted or extracted, and hoppers and droppers can feed the network.
Auto-crafting uses production books and production oversight books on indexing lecterns, and arbitrary recipes can be set up, including complex recipe trees. Crafting draws on mana energy, and food is the only cost of auto-crafting, with higher-nutrition food consumed less often. Action and attribute pages raise stats and give books extra abilities, and several utility pages let redstone-powered lecterns hurl a book's contents. The mod requires CICADA, Fabric API, Lavender and oωo (owo-lib). It is published for Fabric only, in two game versions, 1.21 and 1.21.1, with the latest file 1.0.0-alpha.16 for 1.21.1 released on 2026-06-05 on the alpha channel.
