Description

Eccentric Tome

This mod adds a single item: the Eccentric Tome.

The Tome solves a single problem: managing all of your guidebooks.

The Tome allows many (infinite?) books to be combined into a single item and enables them to be retrieved when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Question: Why rewrite Akashic Tome?

Answer: This mod was originally created was because the maintainers of Akashic Tome released it for 1.18.1 in a broken state without any testing. I was able to fix it within a few minutes (the fix was two lines of code) and I opened a pull request. My pull request was ignored for almost a month. So, I closed the pull request and created this mod.

Question: How is Eccentric Tome different from Akashic Tome?

Answer: This mod differs from Akashic Tome in that it actually works for 1.18.1 and it does not require AutoRegLib. Additionally, Vazkii also hasn't put a license on the GitHub repository for Akashic Tome, which means that it's "all rights reserved". I personally disagree with that choice, so I rewrote the Eccentric Tome from scratch and licensed it under the LGPL so that people can copy and learn from it.
