Every time, opening a chest meant being forced to play the game of memorising cards, seeing if you still remember the positions of all the books in the chest, and failing meant yet another search for the silly tooltip. The solution was either to install mods or learn speed reading. </details> <details> <summary>What Sparked My Initiative</summary> I installed the first resource pack, and the required mods. Now, all books looked different from one another. But ironically, a new problem emerged. You could barely tell what the new textures were even supposed to mean in the first place. Colors for the sake of colors, metal platings, arbitrary symbols, particle effects all around, different glows, engravings, not anti-aliased pixel art, and well, in cases where pixel art was understandable, it just looked bad. Often there was so much going on with the "art" that you almost couldn't tell there was still a book underneath. And so, it was the memorisation game all over again, but this time, it was the meaning of the arbitrary textures you had to memorise. So I downloaded an another pack, and then another, and another... and all of them were mediocre to say the least. I was fed up with all of them, and with the fact that a couple of them had had hundreds of thousands of downloads. I was mad that something this simple, with designs seemingly so obvious to come up with & use for this kind of resource pack hadn't been done by anyone yet. So basically, I just gave up on other people to deliver, and decided to create my own designs. The proper way. </details> <details> <summary>General Design Philosophy</summary> Before I list out all of the specifics, I will establish the general concept. Every single texture I was conceptualising was questioned whether it would make sense if it existed in real life, and
