📖 Bookbinder's Almanac

Create custom, fully modular spellbooks for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks! Hunt mobs, tan their hides, and craft unique covers, pages, and bindings tailored to your exact playstyle.

Tired of relying on pure loot RNG just to find a decent spellbook? Bookbinder's Almanac puts the power of spellbook crafting directly into your hands! Hunt down iconic creatures, harvest their hides and rare trophies, tan them into leather, and assemble custom spellbooks tailored specifically to your build.

Every book you create is visually unique featuring dynamic layered 3D models with distinct covers, bindings, clasps, and emblems that look amazing whether held in your hand, equipped on your hip, or placed on a lectern.

Requires Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks.

🕹️ How It Works

1. Hunt & Tan 🏹

   Defeat mobs like wolves, spiders, endermen, villagers, or the Warden to collect skins and rare trophies (fangs, elytra fragments, warden hearts). Place raw hides onto a Tanning Rack to process them into high-quality leather.

2. Bind Parts 🧪

   Use the Binding Table to combine your tanned materials with Ink and Arcane Essence to forge four distinct book parts:

   • 📔 Cover: Determines the book's magic school focus and Spell Power.

   • 📄 Pages: Sets the number of available Spell Slots.

   • 🧵 Binding: Boosts Max Mana, Cooldown Reduction, or Cast Speed.

   • 🔒 Clasp (Optional): Adds extra passive bonuses, gem sockets, or double-edged curses.

3. Assemble 🛠️

   Combine one Cover, one Pages, and one Binding (plus an optional Clasp) in any crafting grid to assemble your spellbook! Matching materials from the same magic school or mob family unlocks powerful Set Bonuses.

4. Unbind & Recycle ♻️

   Want to tweak your build or reuse rare parts? The Binding Table's second tab lets you disassemble any spellbook. Books from this mod give back their exact components, while standard Iron's Spells books break down into matching parts and return their inscribed spells as scrolls!

💡 Pro Tip: Hold Shift over any bound book in your inventory to compare its stats directly with your currently equipped spellbook.
