Mystical Index
by nickmesser
Players who want to keep books as the storage container can use Mystical Index, which turns books into specialized containers for blocks, fluids, food, items and villagers.
What it does
Mystical Index adds a set of book-based items built around vanilla enchanting-style storage. Book Storage holds up to 25 stacks of one configurable block, which a player sets by holding Shift and right-clicking the block, and right-clicking with the book places the stored blocks. A blacklist in the config keeps chosen blocks out. Book Fluid holds 10 buckets of one configurable fluid and places it on use. Book Saturation stores one stack of a configurable food and lets the player eat from it, with a configurable cool-down of 10 seconds between meals.
Other books cover items and villagers. Book Magnetism is a filtered item magnet, with filters set by Shift and right-clicking an item on the ground and cleared by Shift and right-clicking a Coal Block. The Empty Villager Book holds one villager, lets a player assign a profession by Shift and right-clicking a profession block, and allows trading with the villager. Two villager books crafted with an empty one make a Baby Villager Book, which grows into an adult book over 20 minutes. The Unification Book holds five storage books and can add hopper-based library functions to them, presenting their contents as one accessible inventory.
The mod requires MidnightLib on both Fabric and NeoForge, and Architectury API and Fabric API are also listed as required dependencies. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files cover 7 release versions, 1.18.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is not open source, with the license set to All rights reserved.

How it compares
Experience Storage is a server-required mod, with the client optional, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and not open source, so the server needs it while players may skip it. Inventory Storages is a client and server mod published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.21.1 – 26.3, under All rights reserved. Mystical Index is client and server too, but its files cover 1.18.1 – 26.1.2 and the license is All rights reserved.
