Eccentric Tome (Fabric)
by unilock
Eccentric Tome combines many books into one item, so a player can carry a whole guide library in a single inventory slot.
What it does
The mod adds the Eccentric Tome, an item that stores an unlimited number of books and opens a selection screen on right-click so the chosen book can be read. It is a Fabric port of the Forge original, and the source is open under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with 3 release versions across 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
Installation requires no dependencies beyond the loader itself. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The latest file, 1.10.3+0+1.20.1+fabric for 1.20.1, was released on 2026-02-13, and the mod was first published on 2024-02-01.
Key features
Combined book storage
The tome holds many books at once, so a single item can replace a shelf of guides.
Crafting recipes
The tome is crafted in a grid with a bookcase and books, and other books can be attached to it in the grid.
Book selection screen
Right-clicking while holding the tome opens a screen where the stored book to read is picked.
Converting blocks to books
Shift and right-click while holding the tome converts the book block being looked at, and Shift and Q ejects a converted book.
Single-use items
Single-use items can be added to the tome, and they still break after one use inside it.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Managing guide books
Players who collect many guide books can keep them in one item instead of several inventory slots.
Carrying reference material
A single tome gives quick access to any stored book without digging through a chest.
Who it’s for: Players who collect or read many books in survival or adventure worlds, and server owners whose players want a compact book storage item.
How it compares
Advancement Book Updated is open source under the MIT License, runs client and server, and is published for Fabric and Quilt across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it overlaps this mod's loaders but not its book storage. No Recipe Book works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.18 – 26.3 and is client-side only under All rights reserved, while Paper Books is server-side only on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.5 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, so it differs in both environment and license from Eccentric Tome.
