Tome of Echoes

# Tome of Echoes

Carry less. Build more.

Tome of Echoes is a Paper and Spigot plugin built around one simple idea:

Your building materials shouldn't have to live in your inventory.

Store placeable blocks inside a magical Tome as Echoes in the Rift, automatically collect tracked materials as you pick them up, and place blocks directly back into the world without constantly shuffling stacks through your inventory.

Whether you're gathering materials for a survival build, working on a massive project, or sharing resources with a group, the Tome keeps your blocks close without filling every slot you have.

> No client mod required. > Install the plugin on your server and players can use it normally.

THIS MOD IS CREATED BY A SOLO DEVELOPER. PLEASE REPORT BUGS AND REQUEST FEATURES ON THE DISCORD

# Built for Builders

The Tome is designed to remove the repetitive inventory management that comes with large survival builds without simply turning the game into Creative Mode.

Instead of carrying shulker boxes full of the same few materials, players can bind those materials to Pages in their Tome and store the actual block counts inside the Rift.

Need the blocks back?

Withdraw them normally.

Want to keep building?

Attune the Tome to a stored material and place directly from storage.

## Automatic Storage

Tracked block pickups can be deposited directly into the Rift instead of entering the player's inventory.

That means gathering materials can feel much cleaner:

Pick up blocks → Echo count increases → keep going.

No constant inventory clearing. No filling your hotbar with stacks you were only going to store anyway.

# Placement Mode

Tome of Echoes isn't just a storage plugin.

Stored Echoes can be placed directly back into the world.

Choose a material from your Tome, enter Placement Mode, and use the Tome as a building tool. Each successful placement consumes one stored Echo.

This makes the Tome especially useful for:

• Large survival builds
• Terraforming
• Roads and walls
• Repetitive structural work
• Community construction projects
• Anyone tired of constantly refilling their hotbar

Normal block placement events are still used, allowing existing protection plugins and server rules to continue doing their job.

## Pick Block Support on Paper

On Paper servers, Tome of Echoes also supports Minecraft's Pick Block action.

While holding the Tome, middle-click a block in the world to quickly switch the Tome's active placement material to that block — as long as you already have Echoes of it stored.

That makes switching between materials during a build much faster.

> Pick Block integration is Paper-specific. > Normal Placement Mode still works on other supported server platforms.

# Pages and Personal Progression

In Player Mode, each player manages their own Tome.

Pages can be bound to individual block materials, and players can expand their available Pages through configurable upgrades.

A player's:

• Bound materials
• Stored Echoes
• Unlocked Pages
• Upgrade progression

can all be tracked separately.

This makes the Tome fit naturally into survival progression instead of giving players unlimited storage immediately.

# Upgrade Your Tome

Tome capacity can grow over time.

Tome of Echoes includes configurable progression paths such as:

• Diamond Block crafting upgrades
• Netherite Smithing upgrades

Server owners can control how upgrades work, how many Pages are available, and which upgrade paths are enabled.

# Riftlinking

Building with friends?

Create a Riftlink.

Riftlinking lets multiple players attune their Tomes to the same shared ledger of Echoes.

Members can contribute materials to the same pool, withdraw from shared st
