Knowlogy Book
Knowlogy Book is a Fabric and NeoForge item that opens a wiki-style book of game documentation, with pages appearing as the player progresses.
What it does
The book shows information drawn from the Minecraft Wiki and focuses on how items connect and how gameplay mechanics work, with explanations instead of only recipes. Pages appear as achievements are completed, and the content is inspired by the Knowledge Book from Minecraft: Legends. The project is in Alpha stage, so it is unstable, missing planned content, and expected to change significantly during development.
Entries come from resource packs bundled with the mod and grouped by game update, so anyone can add or modify pages and categories with a resource pack. The mod needs Lavender, Fabric API, Forgified Fabric API, Sinytra Connector and oωo (owo-lib) as required dependencies, and Lavender is Fabric-only, which is why the NeoForge build relies on Sinytra Connector to run it. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.4 across five release versions, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Client and server both need it.
Several mods build on it, including Cobblemon Knowlogy, Exposure Knowlogy, Tom's Simple Storage Knowlogy, Supplementaries Knowlogy and Beans Backpacks Knowlogy. Recipes that the book does not show can be viewed with mods like EMI or JEI.
