Long Books
by boyonk
Long Books raises the page and title limits of written books, so a book can hold more text than vanilla allows.
What it does
Long Books changes the limits that apply when a player writes a book. Books can carry more pages and titles can be longer, and both maximums are set in the mod's configuration file. The changes are made on the server side and reach every player connected to it.
Server owners can use the mod to store longer notes, logs or lore in books on multiplayer and survival worlds. The mod is published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.20.5 – 1.21.11, and it requires Fabric API. Environment: the server and every player need it, so clients on a server without the mod cannot read the longer books. Long Books is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
More pages per book
The configuration raises the number of pages a written book can hold above the vanilla limit, with a maximum of 200.
Longer book titles
Titles can exceed the vanilla length, with the limit set to up to 50 characters in the configuration.
Configurable limits
Both the page count and the title length can be adjusted in the config file, so server owners choose the values they need.
Bounded values
Each limit must stay within a defined range, so a value outside it is not applied.

How it compares
Long Books is a Fabric mod for 1.20.5 – 1.21.11 that runs on client and server and is not open source. Longer Command History is open source under the MIT License and works on the client only, so it changes nothing for the server. SpellBinding runs on the server alone and is not open source, which suits servers that want no client install.
