From ModrinthReworks vanilla lectern, making it more useful and interactive
❔ 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. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SjWsf_hPwUE" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
