Dyeable Books
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Allows you to dye your books and quills to write with. You must first dye the book and quill and then write the book, dyeing the written book will not work.
Currently supported books (and crafting guide)
- Dye colours (dye + book and quill)
- Skull book (bone + book and quill)
- Heart book (redstone dust + book and quill)
- Star book (glowstone dust + book and quill)
- Knowledge (crafting) book (crafting table + book and quill)
- You can add a snowball to reset the book and quill
Remove enchantment glint
Additionally, adding sand to a book and quill will remove the enchantment glint. This must be done in the same recipe as the dyeing.
