Overview

Please note: If you upgrade this datapack from 1.19 or below to 1.20, and you're using the resource pack, the textures from the old items don't work anymore. This is happening because the CustomModelData of all items have changed, making my datapacks more compatible with datapacks from other creators.
Pre-written Books is a Datapack for Minecraft 1.18 to 1.21. The Datapack adds pre-written books to the game which you can craft using a Book and Quill with an item related to the story. there are 13 books in total, of which there are six written by Pastor Kent, one by Magical and six by myself.
A number of stories from Pastor Kent can be found on his website. There are also a few books he has written, but not published, that are in this Datapack, like Tick Tock and Irony.
There is a Resource Pack which you can use for this Datapack, but this is optional. The Datapack adds new textures for every book. Do you want your book in the Datapack? contact me and we'll take a look!

Trivia

This datapack had two Command Block Creation equivalents, where you had to give a book a certain name to get a Pre-written Book.

Pastor Kent has given me permission to use his book for this Datapack. Do you want your books in this Datapack as well? Feel free to contact me and we'll look into it!

Multiple stories of mine from the original Command Block Creations are edited to make the stories better.

There is an unused story named 'The Loop', written by me. This book was so bad I wasn't able to salvage it.

All of my books can be placed in the same universe. The stories are independent from each other, but you can also read them in the order of this page.

Magical is the first player who sent his story after publishing the datapack.
