Description from the author on Modrinth

[](modrinth.com/mod/punchy-fpa)

Note: you HAVE to install Better, Fresher 3D books to use this pack

tbh you don't actually need it but the books would look ugly without

Many mods and resourcepacks do not currently have compatibility with Punchy! mod, so this projects aims to fill the gap by fixing specifically the books

here a list of all the supported resourcepacks and mods alongside screenshots

Ars Nouveau

Before:

After:

TBN: Ars Nouveau on 1.20.1 and lower does not use a 3D model for the worn book so it will look strange, sorry!

also, i had a stroke multiple times while trying to write Ars Nouveau in this description, French people have merci mercy of me

be sure to always use the latest version of Punchy!

please head to my discord server for feature requests, suggestions and bugs
