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 (not fully tested).

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.

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)-level 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]

Class Interactions

Due to the reliance on other classes, librarians will more often than note rely on other classes in order to progress.

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

Librarians cannot unenchant items themselves, as grindstones are the blacksmith's workstation.

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 first knowledge level, it is recommended 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, therefore requiring large amounts of sugarcane (paper) and leather. (sidenote: 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, placing and breaking them before recrafting them. Crafting bookshelves gives 3 xp each and by breaking them you receive the books back. (sidenote: placing the shelves gives 1 builder xp each and breaking yields no additional librarian xp)_{confirmed 19.09}

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.

Confirmed: Using the enchantment table is a feature of this class. Yet it is unknown at what level they can use the enchantment table. But it can be speculated that they could at Expert or Master level.

Debunked: It is speculated that a Librarian could use a grindstone or make compasses.grindstone. This is because of the librarian's unique relationship with enchants and mapping. However, those abilities are reserved to Blacksmiths.
