Even Better Enchanted Books

~

Even Better Enchanted Books is a resource pack that gives every enchantment its own unique texture for enchanted books, all in a clean and faithful vanilla style.

Designed for clarity and immersion, each texture communicates the enchantment’s purpose without deviating from Minecraft’s visual identity.

This pack is the updated and expanded successor to my old “Better Enchanted Book” resource pack, now featuring refined designs and new textures for the latest enchantments.
It also introduces a brand-new feature in Minecraft 1.21.5+: multi-enchant books, where textures adapt dynamically based on the combination of enchantments.

No dependencies are required in Minecraft 1.21.5+!

Multi enchants (1.21.5+)

When a book contains different enchantments, the texture depends on the enchantments contained.

If the enchantments belong to the same category, then the book will take on the texture of a big book of that category:

| | + | | = | |
|--|--|--|--|--|
| Protection | | Feather falling | | Big protection book |

Also works with special enchantments:

| | + | | = | |
|--|--|--|--|--|
| Sharpness | | Unbreaking | | Big sword book |

If the book has multiple enchantments in different categories, then the book takes on the default big book texture:

| | + | | = | |
|--|--|--|--|--|
| Sharpness | | Protection | | Big default enchanted book |

If the book includes a curse enchantment, it will automatically take on the texture of a big cursed book:

| | + | | = | |
|--|--|--|--|--|
| Sharpness | | Vanishing curse | | Big curse book |

And finally, if a book has a impossible combination of enchantments, it will take on the texture of a big impossible book:

| | + | | = | |
|--|--|--|--|--|
| Mending | | Infinity | | Big impossible book |
