txt2book
by PyXiion
Players who want to place a text file into the game can use txt2book, a Fabric server mod that converts plain text, Ficbook, Telegraph, Ponyfiction and .docx documents into Minecraft books.
What it does
txt2book turns a text source into an in-game book. The converted book can be signed, producing a written book, or left unsigned as a writable book, and the choice is set per command. Chapters are split on paragraph styles in a .docx file, and a Heading 1 to Heading 9 style sets the book title, while a different style starts a new chapter. Supported websites can be read through a URL link to the source, with some sites working better with small texts; .docx support is still listed as work in progress.
The mod is a server-side utility, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Its config controls the proxy setup, the maximum size of imported files, the config version, the language used for messages, and the character parameters that define how text is handled. Languages are selectable and can be added by hand, with Russian and English included. Fabric API and fabric-permissions-api are both required. Builds exist for 1.21 – 1.21.11 across 12 release versions, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License but the project is not open source.
