Works completely in vanilla, and does not require mods such as Optifine or CIT Resewn.
Adds several texture variants for enchanted books intended to feel similar to the vanilla texture. Instead of having separate textures for every enchantment, books are separated into 10 color-coded groups to avoid being overwhelming.
List of color groups:
- Brown (Default) - Bow and Crossbow enchantments, as well as modded ones
- Gray - Protection, Efficiency, Unbreaking, etc.
- Green - Smite and Bane of Arthropods
- Orange - Fire-related enchantments
- Sculk - Swift Sneak, Soul Speed, and Mace enchantments
- Aqua - Ocean-related enchantments
- Gold - Fortune, Mending, and Looting
- Skull - Curse enchantments
- Prismarine - Trident enchantments
- Feather - Feather Falling, Wind Burst, etc.
