The Bible
by Freef
The Bible, a Social item mod by Freef, adds a single holy book item that players read, sort through chapters with the mouse, and use in combat.
What it does
Installing the mod adds one item, a translation of the Bible, in its entirety. Left-clicking turns to the next chapter and right-clicking goes back to the previous one. Holding the middle mouse button while clicking moves to the next or previous book, and the mouse 4 and mouse 5 side buttons also move through the books. Right-clicking opens the reading interface.
In combat, striking a monster sets it on fire and deals bonus damage to monsters that are not fire resistant, while also removing a small part of their maximum health. Hitting a non-monster heals it instead. Right-clicking can restore certain base game mobs to their original form. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 18 release versions, 1.6.4 – 26.2.
Key features
Full translation item
The item contains the whole translated text, so chapters and books can be read in order inside the game.
Mouse page navigation
Left and right clicks, middle-mouse combinations and the side buttons all turn pages, chapters and books.
Combat effects
Striking a monster sets it on fire, deals bonus damage to non-fire-resistant monsters and removes part of their maximum health.
Mob restoration
Right-clicking can return certain base game mobs to their original form.
Retextured base book
The item uses a re-textured version of the base book texture, with credit to Freef.

Combat with monsters
The fire and health effects apply every time the item strikes a monster, which changes how fights play out.
Who it’s for: Players who want an in-world Bible item with page navigation and combat effects, and server owners who want every player to share the same item set.
