could you please update this mod, its one of my favorite old mods and I would love to have it back. i can donate if you need. (1.10.2 please)

Been using this mod in 1.7.10 for ages. Really looking forward to a 1.10.2 update so I can use it in my newer modded install.

I have a few ideas that may/may not be feasible but sound good.

I'd love to see a book stand you can put an open book on, like a lectern or that stand for sheet music, so you can display books that can be read by right clicking. Shift-clicking would open the inventory so you could replace the book. Would also be a nice way to generate books in dungeons and stuff. Maybe a library building in villages etc.

I also like the previous commenter's idea for bookshelves, but adding a custom bookshelf might be a little much. maybe just make it so if a vanilla bookshelf is generated in the world, it gets a flag that indicates it generated naturally and make those bookshelves drop a random lostbook as well as the normal books it drops when you harvest it? I'd suggest just having a chance to drop lostbooks, but that would make it way too easy to farm lostbooks from bookshelves repeatedly, instead of only from naturally generated bookshelves.

Would be nice to see a printing press kind of block too, so you could pick a book from a list and make it from an un-used written book. But only a set list of custom printable books, not all the randomly generated ones. That would make it easier for modpack creators to make books to explain how to use all the different mods without the player having to farm books to get an explanation. Having a library full of tutorial books for a modpack would be so much easier that way :3

Anyway, keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you :3

try adding in bookcases that also randomly generate books to read in places like strongholds and villages

This really, really should be made as a plugin as well. This would be awesome in any server, even those without mods.

Hi Docrobb/FatherToast,

Really enjoying your mod on my private modpack! I've run into a small issue though. The right-clicking on a dusty lost book in my hand doesn't work any more. Also, I can't find the control in my options screen or in the config files. Can you help me figure out how to wipe the dust off this book? I'd love to read it!

Neat mod, and can I add this mod to my modpack?
