What it does

Textbook is a client-side utility for Minecraft Java Edition that reads text files and clipboard contents and turns them into written books. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 20 release versions, 1.15 – 1.21.1, and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Annotated DI, Fabric API, Fireplace Lib and Mod Menu are required dependencies, and Mod Menu is also listed as optional.

Key features

  1. Book import

    Text files and clipboard exports can be loaded into a written book, so long documents do not have to be typed by hand.

  2. Client-side operation

    Only the player's client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players on a server can use it alone.

  3. Pairs with Audiobook

    The author notes name Audiobook as a companion mod that works alongside this one.
