Colorful Books Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I dye a book?
Place a book and a dye of your choice in a crafting grid together. The book will take on the color of the dye you used, and the dye will be consumed in the process.
Can I dye an enchanted book?
Yes, you can dye enchanted books the same way as regular books. The enchantment will be preserved, and the book will display your chosen color instead of its default enchanted book color.
Do enchanted books have their own colors by default?
Yes, different types of enchanted books are automatically assigned their own colors by the mod so you can identify them at a glance without opening them.
Will the color show up if I put a colored book in an enchantment table?
Yes, if you craft an enchantment table using a colored book, the book will display its color in the enchantment table GUI.
Can I see the book's color in my inventory?
Yes, colored books display their dye color both in your inventory slots and in your hand, making them easy to identify and organize.
What happens if I dye a book multiple times?
Each time you dye a book, it will take on the new dye color, replacing the previous color. You can change a book's color as many times as you want.
Can I dye written books or only blank ones?
You can dye both blank books and written books; the dyeing process works the same way regardless of whether the book contains text.
Does this mod work with other mods that add custom books?
The mod works with books that use the standard Minecraft book item, but compatibility with custom book items from other mods depends on how those mods are structured.
Can I use colored books in crafting recipes that require regular books?
Yes, colored books function as regular books in all recipes and crafting situations; the color is purely visual and doesn't change their functionality.
Is there a way to remove the color from a book?
You can remove a book's color by dyeing it again with a dye that matches the default book color, or by crafting a new undyed book.
