Librarian

Librarian is one of seven classes available to choose from in the CivLabs plugin.

A Librarian's main role is to enchant player gear, and to create and fill out maps.

Unlocked Abilities

Blessing Items

A Librarian can bless an item, giving it a random enchantment. The enchants are not limited, and any valid enchant has a chance to be applied to an item. Treasure enchants, such as curses and mending, are included in the enchant pool.
The blessing has a chance to fail, as well as a chance to delete items from the players inventory, and will consume experience levels equal to the Librarian's level multiplied by 3. There is a limit to how many enchants can be blessed upon a single item, this limit is 4 enchants. This is not fully tested however.

To bless an Item hold a book in your off-hand and hold the item you want to enchant in your selected hand. Now shift and right click and if you have enough levels (minecraft XP, the "green bar in the middle") you will try to bless the item. This will apply a random enchant to the selected item, but it may be incompatible which makes it not apply at all, for example, smite on a fishing rod. If successful it will display the blessing and person who blessed it by hovering over with the mouse. It will consume the book, the levels and sometimes delete items from your inventory as mentioned above. As a piece of advice, it is a good idea to strip down your armor and items if you want to not risk losing your valuables.

Equipment Blueprint

A Librarian can create blueprints for certain pieces of equipment, using the recipe below. All ingredients, including the blueprint tool, are consumed in the crafting process.
An Apprentice(1) or higher Blacksmith can use a blueprint to learn the recipe for the corresponding piece of equipment until they die.

Netherite Smithing Template

At Grandmaster level, Librarians can make Netherite Smithing Templates using a custom recipe. [State recipe ingredients]

Miscellaneous

Librarians can make blank pattern banners (plain white, grey etc.), there is no information about the ability of making patterns yet or if it is a higher level unlock. They can also add "lore" (description) to items. The method for this is currently unknown.

Explanation of any shorthand, if necessary.

Gaining Experience

Librarians gain XP through crafting book related blocks such as the bookshelf and book and quill. Mind you, crafting maps and looms, as seen below, does not give Librarian XP.

Class Interactions

Due to the reliance on other classes, Librarians will, more often than not, rely on other classes in order to progress.

A Librarian's access to experience points is limited, due to class experience dilution. The most common way for a Librarian to get experience is to wait in stables while a Farmer breeds the animals around them.

Enchanting tables, one of the core unlocks of Librarians, requires both diamonds and obsidians, as per its vanilla craft. This makes the presence of Miners, accompanied by Guardsmen for safety, a requirement for Librarians to unlock consistent enchants.

Guide

To reach the Apprentice (1), it is almost entirely necessary to have access to a sugarcane farm and a cow farm since, at this stage, your only way of gaining experience is by crafting books which requires large amounts of sugarcane (paper) and leather. Crafting the paper required for the books gives Healer XP, so it makes sense to ask a Healer or unspecialized player for help as well.

Once you are an Apprentice (1) the most reliable way for a Librarian to level up is to craft bookshelves, place them and then break them before recrafting back into bookshelves. Crafting bookshelves gives 3 XP each and by breaking them you receive the books back. It is important to remember that placing the shelves gives 1 Builder XP each and breaking yields no additional Librarian XP. As of Session 6, Event 3 bookshelves no longer grant 1 Builder XP when placed.

Notes

The Librarian is a class that is more focused around late game. Because of this there is some gap in our knowledge of how they work such as the recipe for smithing templates. If you know this information, please post it on this page.

It was previously thought as false, but it has been confirmed that Librarians can indeed use a Grindstone in order to disenchant items and gain extra Minecraft experience in the process. Another great way Librarians have to gain Minecraft XP points are fishing, which can also yield enchanted items or books; the use of XP batteries; or breaking furnaces with smelted items, gaining the MC XP, but not the class XP it'd give otherwise.
