SmartBooks is an advanced, in-game book creation and editing mod that takes Minecraft's traditional book and quill to a whole new level. Whether you are creating a detailed server guide, a rich quest log, a comic book, or an encyclopedia, SmartBooks provides a modern, canvas-like editor directly in the game.
✨ Key Features
- Modern Canvas Editor: Move, resize, and rotate text and image elements anywhere on the page, just like professional design software.
- Rich Text Formatting: Choose from built-in fonts, change font sizes, colors, and apply formatting (bold, italics, underline, strikethrough). Supports left, center, and right text alignment.
- Custom Images: Upload images directly from your computer or import them using a URL! Adjust image opacity, add rounded corners, and customize border styles.
- Page Backgrounds & Colors: Customize each page with specific background colors or styles like lined paper, grid, or classic parchment.
- 10+ Pre-made Templates: Don't want to start from scratch? Use built-in templates like Comic, Magazine, Guide, Encyclopedia, Quest Log, Manual, and Newspaper to instantly format your pages.
- Layering System: Bring elements to the front or send them to the back with a simple click.
- Multiplayer Compatible: Fully synchronized with the server. Books are saved on the server and safely sent to clients.
