Better Bookshelves
==================

This is a mod that modifies Minecraft's Chiseled Bookshelves to be more useful.

Features

Books will render on the bookshelf differently depending on the type of book or enchantment on the book.

The enchanting table will now treat Chiseled Bookshelves that contain 3 or more books as valid bookshelves for the purpose of enchanting. (The bookshelves must be facing the enchanting table)

Book Labels:

Hovering over a book in the Chiseled Bookshelf will display the book's title and relevant NBT data

Comparator Output:

Option to set the comparator output to be the type of book rather than the slot used.
