Double Books

by White_145

Double Books changes how writable books open in-game, so that two pages appear side by side on screen as a single view.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.4

What it does

When a player opens a book, the two pages show together instead of one at a time, which gives the screen a more notebook-like feel. The page turning buttons were the part the author revisited, since double packets and double sound could appear on a server. The author notes that this behaviour was removed in a later update.

The mod runs on the client alone, so a player installs it and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with the 1.0.0 build covering 1.21.4. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Two pages at once

    Writable books display two pages together on screen rather than a single page at a time.

  2. Page turning

    Buttons that turn the pages are part of the client-side view, so the book reads like a physical notebook.

  3. Removed double sending

    The author notes that the double packet and double sound behaviour on page turns was removed in a future build.

What the author says

Writable books: Writable books are not any different. Not bothering with potential problems that might arise are, perhaps, giving it more "notebook-y" feeling Lecterns: Page turning buttons send double packets to the server, which result in double the sound and potential problems with cheat detection systems.
