All the info here on this page are currently referring to Aether I and not Aether II. Please stop trying to get a Book of Lore by pressing B as it will not work. The Books of Lore are comprised of three volumes. each describing one of the 3 worlds - Overworld (Vol.1), Nether (Vol.2) and Aether (Vol.3). Pressing B in one of the three worlds will create the Book of Lore for that world. There is no book of lore for the End, so End Stone, Eyes of Ender, and Dragon Eggs cannot be placed in any of the three Books. Upon "reading" the books by right-clicking with the book in hand, players will view an open book stating the volume and the world the volume refers to. Underneath the title will be a slot where players can place any item indigenous to that world. Once placed in the slot, the book will display information about the item.

Trivia

  • Amusingly, a Book of Lore will give information about itself if placed in the slot, though it will not give information for any of the other books. Using a Book to view information about itself grants the achievement Lore-ception.

Bugs

  • There used to be a bug where an item could be duplicated by taking it out of a Book of Lore.
  • The Book of Lore Volume 3 says that a Gold Parachute has 4 uses, when it actually has 20.
