More Lectern Variants
Lecterns come in more wood types through More Lectern Variants, which adds lectern blocks for Fabric worlds and servers that run the mod.
What it does
Each added lectern is crafted from a wood type, so the set grows with the wood types a world already has. Textures by hunnycakehorse are part of the release, and a set of community resource packs and datapacks lets the variants be crafted alongside the vanilla lectern.
The vanilla lectern recipe is overridden by the mod, so crafting a variant takes its own recipe. Wood-type mods often clash with that recipe, and the mod deals with it through the compatibility layer described in its author text. Environment is client and server, so every player on a server running it needs the mod too. Files target 1.20.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, with snapshot builds published alongside the releases. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Several other catalog mods add wood types that the lectern variants can pair with, including Let's Meadow, Nether, Vinery, Beachparty and Blooming Nature. Compatibility Variants is the companion layer named by the author.

How it compares
More Lectern Variants is Fabric-only, with client and server environment and a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license that is not open source. The sibling More Torch Variants (MStV+) uses the same loader, range and license, and covers torches instead of lecterns. More Armor Stand Variants (MStV+) uses the same environment and license for armor stands, over 1.20.1 – 26.2.

What the author says
Unfortunately, the vanilla Lectern crafting recipe has to be overridden for the crafting of the variants to function. But usually these mods add their wood types to the Vanilla recipe, which creates a conflict. Fortunately, there is also a fairly easy way around this issue.
