Summoner Scrolls
Summoner Scrolls lets players bind a mob to a scroll with an anvil, then use the scroll on a tool to summon that mob on demand.
What it does
Scrolls in this mod work like Enchanted Books: they are applied to a tool at an anvil, and the tool gains a right-click ability that summons a chosen mob. Each summon costs experience levels. Scrolls can also be merged with Enhancement Scrolls at an anvil to produce upgraded, stronger variants. Scrolls are found in loot chests, and a wish-style tool carries its own limited durability.
The mod adds a set of summons, including an enhanced Husk, Stray, Piglin Brute, Charged Creeper and Shulkerman, three Cave Spiders, a Skeleton and Spider Jockey fusion, an Iron Golem and five Bees. The mod requires Architectury API and Fabric API, and it is built for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1 only. Summoner Scrolls is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Client and server means the server and every player need the mod installed. Summoner Scrolls was first published on 2025-03-28 and last updated on 2025-10-15, with files 1.0.3 for 1.20.1 on both loaders.
Key features
Anvil-applied scrolls
A scroll is combined with a tool at an anvil, so the tool gains a summon ability without a separate item.
Experience cost per summon
Each use of a summon deducts experience levels, so the ability is limited by the player's progress.
Upgrade through merging
Merging a scroll with an Enhancement Scroll at the anvil produces a stronger variant of the summon.
Loot chest scrolls
Scrolls generate in loot chests, giving players a way to find summons while exploring.

How it compares
Jack o'Cache is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.2 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is open source. Spider Jockey is server-side only and covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.8, with All rights reserved. Better Skeleton is server-side only for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is not open source, so it changes skeletons rather than adding scroll summons.

Is a small mod that adds a new range of Scrolls, which function similarly to Enchanted Books in that applying them to a tool on an Anvil gives that tool the right-click capacity to Summon a mob, at the cost of XP Levels. They can be upgraded into their stronger variants via merging them with Enhancement Scrolls in an…
