About this Mod
Description in text form
Better Screens
Vanilla book editing, viewing and signing screens have been replaced with new, completely redesigned ones, which add many new features and improvements:
- View and edit two pages at once (almost like a real book!)
- Formatting and other editing tools
- Editing books on a Lectern
- Custom book author
and more...
Formatting
No more struggles with § symbols, just select the text you want to format and the formatting toolbar will show up
- Easy application with mouse or keyboard shortcuts
- Uses vanilla system under the hood
Import / Export
Text from Writable and Written books can be saved to a file and loaded from it
- Exported as human-readable .txt
- Formatting is preserved by default, can be excluded if desired
Colorful Books
Books can be dyed into any color, like a leather armor
- Color is shown on the item, in GUIs, on a Lectern and on a Chiseled Bookshelf
Block Tooltips
Looking at a Lectern or a Chiseled Bookshelf slot will show a tooltip with the book item stored on it
Reading
Fancy animation for players using a book in hand
- Book and Quill makes it a writing animation instead, adding a feather to the hand
Literate Mobs
With a 5% chance, Zombies, Husks and Skeletons will spawn holding a Book and they will read it occasionally
- Book has a 50% chance to drop when the mob dies

Scholar server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Scholar compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Scholar officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Scholar – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Scholar consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
