Variant Bookshelves
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.
Variant Bookshelves adds a new Bookshelf for each available Plank type added to your game
(where support has been provided)
This is not just a simple recolour of bookshelves,
care and attention has been taken to ensure optimal experience when using this mod.
- All textures have been compressed (without any negative impact) to keep the mod file size to an absolute minimum.
- All textures are manually created using the hex colours from the appropriate planks to ensure they look correct.
- Fabric load conditions have been used to ensure your console is not full of errors when compatible mods are not installed.
- Un-crafting for all variants back to vanilla has been included in case of any issues.
- Vanilla bookshelf renamed to Oak and recoloured slightly to better fit the Oak wood type.
- All added bookshelves work with the vanilla Enchanting Table
