About this project

What does Lectern Overhaul add?

title

❔ About

This datapack reworks the lectern, which in vanilla has a static book with a default GUI, adding animations and interactions to it and removing the boring GUI, displaying the text directly above the lectern.

💿 Installation

This datapack/mod is installed like any other.

  • If you're installing datapack, don't forget to install and enable the resource pack.

🔍 How To Use

Hold Shift when placing the book on lectern.

  • If you don't hold Shift, lectern will work as default.

🛠️ Compatibility

✅ This datapack should work in multiplayer and will work with most datapacks.

📨 Feedback

If you have ideas for improving the datapack (both from the content and from the technical side), please open issue on github or message me in Discord.
