    About

    Tomes adds player-crafted spellbooks that gain active and passive magic through enchanting, with three tome types themed around archaic, living, and cursed hearts. Each tome can hold one active spell, cast with a right-click, while its passive spells stack and remain in effect as long as the tome is held in either hand; active casting wears down the book, which can be repaired with its crafting heart. Active spells include Self Propulsion, which launches the player and prevents fall damage on landing; Force of Wind, which pushes nearby mobs; and Strike From Above, which calls lightning onto a distant targeted block. Other spells can change the weather or time, turn nearby grass, logs, and leaves into mushroom terrain, nurture crops and animals, pacify or tame creatures, and summon temporary companions such as a wild wolf or spectral horse. Passive effects include boosted experience, projectile reflection, slower hunger loss on grass, doubled crop yields, forest-biome regeneration and resistance, and night vision, strength, and speed after dark. Hearts used to craft and repair the tomes drop from specific mobs: archaic hearts from zombies, beating hearts from villagers or illagers, and sweet hearts from witches. Most active spells come from enchanting, while rare treasure spells such as Dark Age and Molding Lands must be found as loot or obtained through a witch trade; configuration options adjust heart drop chances and spell cooldowns and costs.

    Adds 11 items, 3 mobs, 1 other entity, 26 enchantments and 3 recipes.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16 to 1.16.5.

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · Both latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16 to 1.16.5.

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Both files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of both files, for Minecraft 1.16 to 1.16.5. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and code history and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
