Robin's Secret Tome
by thatrobin
Robin's Secret Tome is a Fabric library mod that adds a guide book built on the Origins book system, shown to the player when held in the hands.
What it does
The mod was made for the Origins Discord Secret Jam and is incomplete, because time limits meant the concept was not finished. Its framework creates custom guide books using the Origins book system and reads text and images from the Origins language files. The author notes that the basic framework is in place, while some planned features were removed and the pages meant to be gated behind progress are not implemented.
A player receives the tome on spawn. To read it, the player holds it in the hands and right-clicks it, and the book is rendered like a map in the hands rather than as a regular book. The intended purpose is a manual that explains how to play the game, although the content is limited to what the framework currently provides.
Robin's Secret Tome requires Origins, which must be installed alongside it. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.2, and the latest file is 0.1.0, dated 2025-04-06. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

A framework creates guide books on top of the Origins book system, so the content follows the same structure.

Map-style rendering
The tome is drawn like a map when held in the hands, instead of appearing as an ordinary open book.

What the author says
This mod is unfortunately incomplete due to time restrictions, I may finish the concept later fleshing it out with the features I wanted to implement originally. This mod adds in a guide manual for playing the game. You spawn with it in your hands, and you do not need to right click it to look at it. instead it…
