Bookmark
by boyonk
Bookmark keeps a player's place in a book, so reopening it returns to the page last read, even after the book is closed by accident.
What it does
The mod saves the last page a player opened in a book and restores it when the book is opened again. A page is bookmarked automatically, including when a book is closed unintentionally, so a reader can continue where they left off. The last page is carried over when a book is placed down and picked back up.
Bookmark supports multiplayer and works with Lectern, so a book kept on a lectern remains compatible. Friends can see each other's favourite page while flipping through a book or handing it over. The mod runs on Fabric and needs both the server and each player to have it installed, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
Key features
Automatic page saving
The last page read in a book is stored without any command or manual marker, and reopening the book returns to it.
Recovery after closing
A page is bookmarked even when a book is closed unintentionally, so an accidental close does not lose the reading position.
Carry-over between placements
The last page survives a book being placed down and picked up again, keeping the reading place across storage and use.
Shared page view
Players can see a friend's favourite page while flipping pages or passing a book over in multiplayer.

Use cases
Long books in survival
A player reading a long book over several sessions can close it at any time and resume from the same page.
Lectern displays
A book placed on a lectern keeps its bookmarked page, so a shared reading material stays at the page last left open.
Who it’s for: Players who read long in-game books and multiplayer groups that pass books between members. Server owners who run Lectern builds can use the mod alongside it.
