More Lectern Variants

Fill your builds with colourful reading furniture: Now each wood type has its own lectern!

Adding 11 new Lecterns to Minecraft

How can I craft vanilla Lecterns using modded wood types from Biomes o' Plenty, [Let's Do] mods, and others?

Unfortunately, the vanilla Lectern crafting recipe has to be overridden for the crafting of the variants to function.

But usually these mods add their wood types to the Vanilla recipe, which creates a conflict. Fortunately, there is also a fairly easy way around this issue.

That is what the "More Compatibility Variants" are for:
These datapacks/mods resolve this issue across all of our "More X Variants" mods, so you can craft lecterns and other vanilla items/blocks just as you would expect.

Currently available More Compatibility Variants:

- Biomes o' Plenty

- [Let's Do] Meadow, (Nether)Vinery, Beachparty and Blooming Nature

- Nature's Spirit

- Oh The Biomes We've Gone

Would you like to see support for another mod with custom wood types? Let me know via Discord, GitHub, or E-Mail!

Compatible with Quad 1.3.0+'s block replacement:

Looking out from a window of a library with a butcher's shop in the distance: We can see that instead of an Oak Lectern, Oak Bookshelves and an Oak Torch in the house and an Oak Smoker in the background, the game now generates the village with an Acacia Lectern, Acacia Bookshelves (from More Bookshelf Variants), an Acacia Torch (from More Torch Variants) and an Acacia Smoker (from More Smoker Variants).
