Book Eater
by Mrbysco
Book Eater lets players consume enchanted books to gain potion effects and new abilities, so the enchantments in a book become a source of power instead of an item to store.
What it does
Consuming an enchanted book gives the player unique potion effects and abilities tied to the enchantments it contains. Speed, strength and luck are among the boosts the mod describes, and it is meant for players who want to build a character around magical knowledge.
Book Eater is published for Forge and NeoForge. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Consuming enchanted books
Players eat enchanted books to take in the enchantments they contain, and the book is used up in the process.
Potion effects and abilities
Each consumed enchantment grants its own potion effect or ability, which can raise speed, strength or luck.
Enchantment-based progression
Consuming books over time lets a player steadily enhance abilities, so enchantments act as a growth path.
