Runic Railguns

Runic Tome One tome. Every manual. Tired of inventory chests stuffed with duplicate guide books? Losing your "Materials and You" to a lava pocket? Dragging eight lexicons between bases every time you move? Runic Tome fixes that. Runic Tome gives every player a single, persistent book called the Runic Tome . The moment any guide book enters your inventory — pickup, craft, quest reward, command, anything — the tome quietly absorbs it. The physical book vanishes; a new entry appears in your tome's library. One item, forever. Open the tome to browse every manual you've ever collected. Click an entry. The real book opens, native UI and all. ✨ Features Absorbs every guide book you touch — without ever eating the wrong thing. Ground pickup, crafting output, smelting output, quest rewards, KubeJS grants, /give commands, container close — all paths covered, near-instantly. A book is only removed once it's safely stored in your tome; if storage ever fails, the item is left untouched. One item, forever. The tome is given on your first world join, has Epic rarity, stacks to 1, and is fire-resistant. Your unlocked books persist across death, item loss, and the tome itself — and corrupt entries can't break your save. Searchable library UI. Opening the tome shows a scrolling list of every book you've collected, with real item icons and a live count. Search by name, favorite books (right-click) to pin them to the top, and left-click to launch the original book's native GUI. No inventory clutter. Books live virtually in a per-player data store — not as real ItemStacks. Your inventory stays clean. Works with everything Patchouli. Out of the box, Runic Tome recognises every Patchouli book in your pack — including mods that use custom book items (Ars Nouveau's Worn Notebook, Botania's Lexica Botania, and so on). Lots of built-in integrations. Tinkers' Construct (all six books), Minecraft Comes Alive, Better Animals Plus, Immersive Engineering (manual), and Modonomicon are detected automatically — plus a keyword catch-all for guide books from mods with no explicit support. Modpack- and datapack-configurable. Add any standalone book-like item via a simple config entry, or define books in a datapack ( data/ namespace /runictome/books/*.json ) that syncs to clients. No code, no patching. Mod-author friendly. A small public API and IMC hooks let other mods register their own guide systems — or a single openable book. 🎮 How it works Join a world. A Runic Tome appears in your inventory automatically. Receive a guide book. Any way. Pickup, craft, quest reward, /give , anything. The tome absorbs it near-instantly — you'll see the book disappear and a toast (with the book's name) confirming the unlock. Right-click the tome. A searchable, scrolling library opens listing every book you've collected, each with its icon. Find and open. Type to search, left-click an entry to open its native UI, or right-click to favorite it (favorites pin to the top). Close with Done or Escape. Y
