Bibliophobia
by moonst0ne
Bibliophobia lets players break down written and writable books into paper, ashes and black dye, and is built for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Books can be torn apart for paper, so a player who holds too many written books can recover the material. Writable books return three paper each, and other materials used in the book are refunded as well. Books can also be burned in a furnace, which leaves ashes that can be combined into charcoal, or smelted with an item to make black dye. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2024-09-29, released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Tearing books apart
Written and writable books can be ripped out for their paper, with three paper returned per writable book.
Furnace ashes and charcoal
Burning a book in a furnace produces ashes, and four ashes combine into a piece of charcoal.
Black dye from books
A furnace can smelt a book together with another item to make black dye, which fuels the furnace as well.
