Runic Tome

[0.6.0] — 2026-08-13

Important

• Existing saves, configs, datapacks, item tags, and API integrations remain compatible.
• The network protocol has changed. Clients and servers must both use Runic Tome 0.6.0.
• By default, absorbing a stack stores one book and consumes the entire stack. Set absorbWholeStack to false to consume only one item and leave duplicates in your inventory.

Added

• Every library entry now has an Extract button, allowing you to turn a stored book back into a physical item.

  • Extracted books will not be immediately absorbed again.
  • If your inventory is full, the book is safely dropped nearby.
  • Servers can disable extraction with allowBookExtraction.

• Added /runictome unmark [<player>] to make an extracted book absorbable again.

• Added /runictome purge [<player>] to find stored books that are now excluded. Use /runictome purge confirm to remove them.

• Added /runictome debug scan [<namespace>] to check which items will or will not be absorbed. A full report is saved as runictome-scan.txt.

• Commands can now target other players and be used from the server console.

• Long command results now use pages, with favorites clearly marked.

• Added maxFavoriteTogglesPerSecond to limit favorite-toggle requests and protect servers from spam.

• Added automatic build checks and greatly expanded testing for improved stability.

Fixed

• Invalid or misspelled item IDs are no longer treated as minecraft:air.

• Fixed rare cases where opening a stored book could overwrite items, corrupt shared game data, or interfere with another mod.

• Patchouli guides no longer trigger an unrelated item a second time on the server.

• A broken third-party or datapack integration can no longer interrupt book pickups, crafting, smelting, or inventory scans.

• Book-detection settings now apply immediately after reloading the config instead of requiring a restart.

• The client library is now cleared when leaving a world, preventing books from a previous world briefly appearing after reconnecting.

• Added safer handling for damaged or malicious network data.

• Favorite changes now sync more efficiently and can no longer be spammed to repeatedly resend the entire library.

• showUnlockToast now works correctly as a personal client setting and has moved to runictome-client.toml.

• Inventory scans are spread across multiple ticks to reduce server lag when many players are online.

• Configuration changes are now applied together, preventing brief inconsistencies during reloads.

• Improved thread safety for item detection and warning logs.

• Fixed compatibility with functional or consumable books that must remain physical, including books from:

  • Runic Skills
  • Legendary Additions
  • Alex’s Caves
  • Art of Forging
  • Aylel RPG Drops
  • CustomNPCs
  • Dungeons and Combat
  • Unique Accessories
  • Cthulhu Fishing
  • Threateningly Mobs
  • Celestisynth
  • Stargate Journey
  • JSG/Aunis
  • Valoria
  • Goety
  • Goety: Awaken
  • Wesley’s Roguelike Dungeons

• Improved detection of leveling, XP, skill, summoning, ability, upgrade, and necromancy books so they are not accidentally absorbed.

• Built-in safety exclusions are now automatically combined with your config, so new protections apply without resetting existing settings.

Changed

• Book absorption now follows one consistent rule across pickups, crafting, smelting, and inventory scans.
• Extracted books keep their protection marker until /runictome unmark is used.
• Internal library data is now handled more safely when accessed by other mods.
• Improved Patchouli loading compatibility.
• Corrected outdated or inaccurate README examples and explanations.
• Builds are now reproducible, helping ensure identical source code produces identical mod files.
• Removed unused translations and added a clearer message when a stored book has no available physical item.
