📋 About This Mod

# Bibliothecary Bibliothecary is a Paper plugin that attempts to rebalance the librarian villager enchantment system, pushing players to go exploring to find enchanted books, but allowing the books to be farmed after obtaining a copy. The plugin stops villagers from trading random books, and instead allows you to 'teach' them, requiring you to obtain a copy of the enchanted book from exploring structures or through things like fishing, then allowing you to copy it using villagers.
