# Librarian
\nLibrarian is a mod for Fabric that improves the saved hotbar system by adding new features and increasing the overall
\ncapacity with a page system. It is the successor to Hotbars+, a mod by the same author.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Infinite saved hotbar capacity
\nNever run out of space in your hotbars again. Librarian introduces a page system which allows you to store as many items
\nas you could possibly ever want or need.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since this system is vanilla-compatible, you won’t need to worry about having to convert or do any transfers should you
\ndecide to not use the mod anymore.<\/p>\n
### Better saved hotbar performance<\/p>\n
Got a lot of data in your saved hotbars? Not a problem. Librarian optimizes the way the game loads and saved hotbars to
\nrun entirely in the background, completely eliminating some notorious lagspikes many have experienced while working with
\nsaved hotbars in the process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Accidental overwrite protection
\nA common problem people experience with the saved hotbar system is the potential to unintentionally overwrite existing
\nhotbars by pressing the wrong key, losing many items by complete accident in the process. Librarian tries to help
\nprevent this from happening by comparing the data of the items being saved to that of the items already saved. If it
\ndoesn’t exactly match, a prompt will come up asking for confirmation before continuing, potentially saving you and your
\nitems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Renamable saved hotbars
\nTo help facilitate distribution and organization, Librarian introduces a new vanilla-compatible hotbar metadata system
\nwhich allows you to rename your saved hotbars to literally anything you want along with other bits of metadata like a
\ndescription and even a list of authors. Names and descriptions support both chat color codes and also
\nMiniMessage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All metadata can be customized in-game with the client-side command `\/librarian meta`*, but users can also rename their
\nhotbar page by simply clicking the text in the creative inventory menu.<\/p>\n
* – Some versions (such as pre-1.14.4) do not currently have client-side command libraries available, so with these
\nversions you will have to apply the changes manually with an NBT editor. I personally recommend using NBTExplorer for
\nthis purpose.<\/p>\n
### Multi-version support
\nTo account for those holding out on specifics game versions, Librarian supports a wide range of Minecraft versions as
\nrecent as 26.1.1 and as old as 1.12.2 (with the help of Legacy Fabric and
\nOrnithe). I am committed to supporting as many versions as reasonably possible. The foundation
\nof Librarian, while similar to its predecessor, is written with the goal of not relying on any particular
\nversion-specific code. This helps make it more future-proof in the long run.<\/p>\n
Currently supported versions:
\n* 1.12.2 (Legacy Fabric or Ornithe)
\n* 1.13.2 (Legacy Fabric or Ornithe)
\n* 1.14.4 (Regular Fabric or Ornithe)
\n* 1.15.2
\n* 1.16.5
\n* 1.17.1
\n* 1.18.2
\n* 1.19
\n* 1.19.2
\n* 1.19.4
\n* 1.20.1
\n* 1.20.2
\n* 1.20.4
\n* 1.20.6
\n* 1.21.1
\n* 1.21.3
\n* 1.21.4
\n* 1.21.5
\n* 1.21.8
\n* 1.21.10
\n* 1.21.11
\n* 26.1.x<\/p>\n
