Lost In A Story
by Acrogenous
Lost In A Story is a Fabric adventure mod that sends a player into a story world built from books, where each book defines a story instance to enter.
What it does
Lost In A Story takes inspiration from Mystcraft, with a twist: the player finds a book, opens it and is drawn into a dimension that works like a sentence converted into a quest. Each story dimension resembles the overworld with some noticeable differences, and the player must complete the final quest before returning to the overworld outside the book. The story opens with the player waking in a hometown that is being raided, then passing through a carnival of stalls and a bookshop until reaching a castle where the Skeleton Prince can be faced.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The mod requires Fabric, and players enter a story by pressing the default Insert key to check what happens next.

Loot and story blocks
