- Be on the lookout for Forsakens as they can spawn in here. Logging out and back in should despawn it.
Trivia
- Upon the release of the Tome Update, there was a bug where the Seal of Space could be used to teleport inside the Library of Axis Mundi without needing any of the keys. This is why the button door was added to the exit of the Library.
- The Library of Axis Mundi is the only place to get books enchanted with Smite and Sharpness. These essentially serve as swords without a durability bar, and cannot be used to enchant other weapons with Sharpness or Smite.
- The Secret Project iteration of this location required at least 7 players to step on pressure plates simultaneously for the Eclipsed Seal.
- The Library of Axis Mundi was closed for an extensive period of time between the Pre-Origins Update and the Origins Update.
- This location was widely considered the "lore endgame" by players before the release of Origins.
- Axis Mundi is believed to be the world center or the connection between Heaven and Earth in certain beliefs and philosophies, which ties into the Lore of MineZ where Axis Mundi served as the connection between the human world and Hestril's domain. It can also be found in cultures with technically advanced "urban centers".
- The strange symbols on the walls in the library correspond to the runic alphabet.
- Ruins of Axis Mundi can be seen on the surface, and look down a glass skylight into the library.

Here, buried beneath layers of time, lies the great library of Axis Mundi, the ancient city created by Hestril. This mythical city was the focal point of the world, through which all magic flowed. Under Hestril's careful tenure life blossomed from this point, and it was here that sages and oracles alike communed with the gods. Yet, when Hestril was sealed his tether and his influence was cut. His magic that once wove an elaborate tapestry through the land was now lost, and this great city went with it - crumbling into the earth. As the world grew more chaotic, this library alone was spared, its knowledge being preserved. |

Creation - Scribe of Hestril
- The lore block is located on a bookshelf at (562, 121, -3866).
In the beginning there was one, and he was known as Hestril; his brilliance shining forward into the empty void. Light rushed forward, pockmarking the black nothingness and at last the universe and its host of stars came to be. Yet this creation was empty - merely a blank slate with no authors. |
Humanity - Scribe of Hestril

Blessed - Scribe of Hestril

Those blessed with Hestril's grace took this gift and fashioned for themselves a city larger than any man-made city yet, isolated in the jungles of thee east - Agni Ignis. On each cardinal direction, a statue to the gods that had given us life and, in the center, to hold us all - Hestril. |
Sight - Scribe of Hestril

The Gift - Scribe of Hestril
- The lore block is located on a bookshelf on the second floor at (495, 144, -3878).
Those who Hestril graced could tap into the vast, flowing magic that existed in our world. In time these mages would do great and terrible things with this gift. Described as a connective web that held our world together, these mages could even travel near-instantly across large distances, using what they called the Tether. |
