About this Mod

Ancient Library

This adds a new block that you can find in Ancient City chests. It has a 12% chance to appear.
The object acts like a bookshelf for enchanting, but will fully power an Enchanting Table on its own without the need for extra bookshelfs.

The bookshelf can be mined fast with a pickaxe, but will still drop if mined without a tool.

Extras can be smelted into an Echo Shard.

Has a config file to change the enchanting power of the block.

Works out of the box with Apotheosis, Easy Magic, and Enchanting Infuser. Will probably work with most enchanting mods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ancient Library server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Ancient Library compatible with forge?

Ancient Library officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Ancient Library – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Ancient Library 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.
