About Enchanted Books: Re-covered
Re-covered gives every enchanted book in Minecraft a unique, hand-drawn texture that actually reflects what the enchantment does. Instead of hovering over dozens of identical purple books in a chest, you can identify them at a glance using intuitive icons and color-coded designs that fit perfectly with the vanilla game style.
Features
- Unique Textures: Every single enchantment has its own cover art based on Minecraft's own symbols (e.g., a turtle shell for Respiration, a creeper face for Blast Protection).
- Level Indicators: Subtle visual changes or color-coded icons to differentiate between enchantment tiers.
- Vanilla Friendly: All art is designed to look like it belongs in the base game, following a 30-degree tilted perspective.
- Logic-Based Design: Each icon is chosen to be readable by both "pro" players and newcomers (e.g., an apple with an arrow through it for Piercing).
- Animated Elements: Subtle animations on specific books like Fire Protection or Depth Strider to make them stand out.
- Stack Hierarchy: If a book has multiple enchantments, the most "important" one (based on a custom priority list) determines the texture.
Resolution & Performance
This is a 16x resolution pack, matching the standard Minecraft look. It has zero impact on FPS and works smoothly on low-end machines. Small animated textures are optimized to ensure no performance drops.
Compatibility
The pack is designed to work natively in newer versions without extra mods, but supports older versions through CIT (Custom Item Texture) features.
Supported Versions
- Minecraft 1.21.5 and newer: Works natively with no mods required.
- 1.21.2 - 1.21.4: Requires the Variants-CIT mod.
- 1.18 - 1.21.1: Requires CIT Resewn or OptiFine.
Customization
You can further tweak the pack using the Respackopts mod to toggle animations or use alternative textures for specific books like Quick Charge. Manual file replacement is also an option for those who want to swap out the pixelated pack icon or change recipe book transparency.
