I've always loved the vanilla textures of Minecraft. However, I always thought it would be cool if certain repetitive items had unique textures, with enchanted books being one of these items. So I set out to make a unique texture for every enchanted book how I imagine Mojang might some day. This pack attempts to make every enchanted book feel unique while emulating the vanilla art style. I have been using this pack playing casually while developing it and it has certainly enhanced my immersion and gameplay experience. I hope it will do the same for you.

## Identification I attempted to make a predictable and understandable pattern for how the books look in their most basic form. These traits are observable in almost every enchanted book barring a few exceptions that break the pattern slightly for aesthetic purposes.

### Enchanted Book Level All book textures have slightly altered variants meant to display the level of the enchantment applied to the book. As the level of the enchantment grows a badge on the ribbon of the book will change to a higher tier mimicking the appearance of the badges villagers use to display their profession level. Additionally, the higher the enchantment value of the book, the larger the book will appear.

_In the image above, A level I enchanted book can be seen on the left with the level increasing until it reaches level V on the right, with this being the maximum level available for certain books in vanilla survival Minecraft. In game, all level 5 enchanted books are animated with a pulsing aura._

### Enchanted Book Type The majority of books in this pack derive their most basic texture elements from predictable base templates for different book types. These templates are split into two major parts, book color, and ribbon color. Each have many variants with looks based on enchantment features like, armor enchantment books, weapon enchantment books, tool enchantment books, or cursed books.

On the left is a labeled column of undecorated book textures, while on the right is a labeled column of undecorated ribbon textures. Both columns start with the classic minecraft book and ribbon textures, both labeled as “Normal”. Starting at the top of the left column and continuing to the bottom of the left column. The first book is a vibrant dark blue color labeled as the base template for protection enchanted books. The second book is a dull dark blue color labeled as the base template for armor enchanted books. The third book is a dull dark brown color labeled as the base template for melee enchanted books.
