minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months ago IRL. It’s neat but basically a promotional project for RWB. you could easily stuff a script to rip the books out and stuff them into usable formats pretty easily, minecraft worlds are just a list of files. Though i haven’t verified this, and i’m not going to so.
minus-squareALifeToRemember@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoI had a look at this map and ifirc the problem is that the Minecraft books have a very small word limit. Only a few hundred words. You cannot even put a full article on a Minecraft book, let alone an actual book. It was rather underwhelming to be honest.
