📋 About This Mod
Simple little mod that changes the lost library books so that they don’t all have the same cover. Now the books will be one of 20 different sizes and colours!
Alternatively, if you like one of the new covers but don’t want the randomization feature, you can set which cover you’d like in the config.json. Check the reference image for what each option looks like.
Configuration:
Random Lost Library Book Covers has two config options:
BookCover:
- []"01-20": If you only want one of the new covers, select the number you want to use.
-
[]"Random": This option will randomly select one of the 20 options and will change per day and per area.
[]"CoverMatch": If you have Esca's Modding Plugins installed, this option will match the cover with the book you've found!
VanillaTweaksStyle:
-
[]"True" or "False": Changes the book sprites to match the style of Vanilla Tweaks. This option requires at least one of the Vanilla Tweaks packs by MrTaiyou to be installed.
Installation is simple - just download, extract the “ Random LibraryBook Covers” folder, and drop it in your Mods folder. To configure the mod, run the game once to generate a config.json file and then edit it.
