Scribble Book

by mr.skvipers

Scribble Book is a library-style mod in which a player studies blocks by shift-right-clicking them, and each study records a knowledge entry in a book.

What it does

Crafting the book and filling it with ink starts the process. Shift plus right-click on a block opens a study, and the first study opens a basic entry with a short description. A second study reveals a deeper entry with advanced details that stay hidden until then. Each study consumes ink and paper, and the ink bottles run down over time, leaving empty bottles behind as a natural progression system.

The book is soulbound, so it does not drop on death. The mod is meant for players who prefer to learn about the world by exploring and testing rather than looking things up in external wikis.

Scribble Book is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and it is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Source code is publicly available, and the mod can be extended with custom entries through data packs.

Key features

  1. Two-stage study

    A first study opens a basic entry, and a second study reveals deeper details that stay hidden until then.

  2. Ink and paper cost

    Each study consumes ink and paper, so knowledge is tied to resources gathered in play.

  3. Soulbound book

    The study book is soulbound and does not drop when its owner dies.

  4. Vanilla block coverage

    Studies work on furnaces, crafting and enchanting tables, brewing stands, chests, beacons, note blocks and many other vanilla blocks.
