Paper Books
by Serilum
Paper Books lets players craft a book from nine paper, a smaller recipe than the vanilla one.
What it does
The recipe for a book uses nine paper instead of the usual combination, so books become cheaper to make in survival. Bookshelves are also easier to get, since a farm can produce the paper they need. The mod is server-side only: players join a server running it without installing anything. It requires Collective and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.16.5 – 26.3.
Key features
Nine-paper book recipe
A book is crafted from nine paper, replacing the standard recipe for the item.
Easier bookshelves
Bookshelves become simpler to obtain, since paper from an automatic farm supplies the recipe.
Minimal change
The mod changes only the book recipe, leaving the rest of the game's crafting as it is.

What the author says
Paper Books is a minimalistic mod which allows the creation of books with 9 paper. This will make the bookshelf easier to obtain (with an automatic farm), because it's such a great decoration block.
