Loremaster
by saphienyako
Loremaster is a grumpy fey librarian that players summon with a Library Bell, and it trades guide books from a datapack-extendable list.
What it does
Loremaster lives in an old Feywild library. A player summons him by using a Library Bell, which can be crafted and placed anywhere in the world. Once summoned, he sells guide books and takes books in exchange, and he can be traded with like a normal librarian villager, since ordinary librarians also answer the bell. The fey is described as grumpy and fond of books, so the trades revolve around them.
The set of books offered is not fixed. Book entries are added through a datapack, and the project wiki explains how to write one. If a book that should be available is missing, the author asks players to report it so it can be added to the default datapack. The bell is meant to be used sparingly, and the author asks players not to abuse it.
Loremaster runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across eight release versions, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.
