Now in 1.12.2!
With the permission of FatherToast, I took over the maintenance of this project.
6 years since the last update, now Lost Books is on 1.12.2!
Description
Are you glad that books can finally be written in, but upset that there aren't any to read? Well, good sir or madam, download Lost Books and get ready for fun - with books!
This mod adds a chance for monsters to drop randomly books out of a set of books that anyone can create with ease! Books can even support randomized words for books similar to automatically generated Mad Libs!
Every single book, the drop rates, and some conditions can be customized in a handsome properties file!

II love thiis so much

mod thats only for servers
In reply to creeperawman172:
Unless a mod states it doesn't work in SP, it will work in SP.
In reply to t3mp3st051:
where can i see it that it says it. in the description??
In reply to creeperawman172:
Yes. On the mod page of a mod, if you read through it which you should always do, it will state whether the mod is server side or client side. If it doesn't, it's usually safe to assume it's both. Usually.
1.16 would be epic.

I'm currently busy with other projects, but a developer expressed interest in porting this, they might already be working on the port. it was discussed in Father Toast's discord server (linked in the page desc)
In reply to windanesz:
Ok, thanks.
Are there any fan made additions to add even more books to the list of potential books? I don't really want to make new books myself tbch lol but I'd like more books in it
In reply to Kainoa25:
I am currently building a custom set of books, as an addition to the default set, for my modpack. When it is finished I can post the book set here as a zip for anyone that wants it. It will have references to mods from my pack though, as well as many of the books from the default set removed that didn't fit.
In reply to t3mp3st051:
I'd quite like that zip when you finish :)
In reply to qwerty9118:
Np. Should be done in about a week.
In reply to t3mp3st051:
Thanks!
In reply to Kainoa25:
A bit late but here ya go. Technically it isn't finished, but that would take a while and I won't be adding new books until later on my modpack's next update. Just unzip and drop the files in the appropriate folders in the LostBooks folder in the config. I did not write everything included here, you can see the credits.txt file for more info. You are only allowed to use this in a modpack if you give me credit. (This link is not permanent).

Will this ever have 1.16.x support?
In reply to GabeGDM:
That probably depends on demand. If I see that a lot of people would like to have this updated to 1.16, then I'll consider it
In reply to windanesz:
Well I for one hope there's enough demand, I loved finding these little pieces of lore scattered about and resting a bit to read them. It was ne of my favorite things in the elder scrolls series.
In reply to GabeGDM:
Same, many years ago in 1.7.10 I've made a lost books custom book pack with all Skyrim books
In reply to windanesz:
Do you still have the files somewhere?
In reply to qwerty9118:
I have the raw books but not in the required format. I plan to make a bugfix update for Lostbooks, then I can generate these skyrim books and share them in the discord server.
