Better Books

Description

This add on enhances the tooltips for enchanted books. It adds icons representing what items the enchantment can be applied to under the enchantment. Enchantments can be sorted alphabetically optionally with curses at the end. The enchantment max level can also be displayed. Lastly, if desired a brief description of the enchantment effect can also be shown if the shift key is held down. This is all configurable.

Can be run on the client side only. Requires Fabric API and Cloth Config API. ModMenu is optional.

Combine it with the Clear Enchanted Books mod to get enhanced book textures.

Compatibility

If this mod is incompatible with your mod or a mod you like to use, please comment and I’ll try to resolve the problem.

If you have a mod that has a custom enchantment and you’d like the enchantment description to appear in the tooltip, add the key “enchantment.betterbooks.<your-enchantment-id>” to your lang file. Or message me and i can add it to this mod.

If you have a custom item that accepts enchantments and you’d like it to appear in the list of icons that an enchantment can be applied to, let me know and I’ll setup a registry to make this work.
