• (SERVERS ONLY) Edit the "welcome_page1.txt" file to your liking.
• Update the book's content using the command "/notesandtomes  update welcome"

Customization detailed:

Adding Images:

• Always use 1:1 Aspect ratio images, and try to mainly use a 256x256 image size.
• Images can have their XY position, and width,height be set like in the example below. The Width and Height isn't the Size of the image, but rather the width and height inside the image file.Code examples:
• Image from a minecraft: "(image=textures/blocks/stone;x=10;y=30;w=256;h=256)"
• Image from mod: "(image=jgnotesandtomes:book2)"
• Image from the "minecraft/jgnotesandtomes" folder: "(image=jgnotesandtomes/book2)"

Formatting Text:

• Minecraft MOTD codes work with the mod. (CHECK https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Formatting_codes "Use in server.properties and pack.mcmeta" part for codes)Code examples:
• Color with black text: "\u00A70"
• Bold text: "\u00A71"
• Reset formatting: "\u00A7r"

Resizing:

• The default size is 100.Code examples:
• 100% text and image size: "(size=100)"
• 50% text and image size: "(size=50)"
