Do you ever wake up and in your groggy state think that minecraft bookshelves should actually, you know, hold books?
Well, Simple Archivist does just that (and a few other things)! This mod allows you to build better bookshelves and put 12 books in each! They're ~a halfblock in size, and included are secret doors and levers. Dyed books and giant tomes are also included. No added-libraries needed; this mod IS the library, after all. Mod has been made as light as possible in that regard, so hitboxes are all approximate.
