Even Better Enchanted Books

Even Better Enchanted Books is a resource pack that gives every enchantment its own unique texture for enchanted books — all in a clean and faithful vanilla style.

Designed for clarity and immersion, each texture communicates the enchantment’s purpose without deviating from Minecraft’s visual identity.

No dependencies are required in Minecraft 1.21.5+!

Multi enchants (1.21.5+)

When a book contains different enchantments, the texture depends on the enchantments contained.

If the enchantments belong to the same category, then the book will take on the texture of a big book of that category:

	+		=
Protection		Feather falling		Big protection book

Also works with special enchantments:

	+		=
Sharpness		Unbreaking		Big sword book

If the book has multiple enchantments in different categories, then the book takes on the default big book texture:

	+		=
Sharpness		Protection		Big default enchanted book

If the book includes a curse enchantment, it will automatically take on the texture of a big cursed book:

	+		=
Sharpness		Vanishing curse		Big curse book

And finally, if a book has a impossible combination of enchantments, it will take on the texture of a big impossible book:

	+		=
Mending		Infinity		Big impossible book
