Importing txt files as books with multiple pages

[Mauhid123qw]

Describe the feature / change

It'd be nice to be able to import books into minecraft in a much easier way. An example would be like downloading moby dick in minecraft or my essay into google docs into minecraft. Maybe add a functionality to import it as a pdf or even as a simple .txt file

I just wanted to mention this because maybe this problem could be solved by the pull request for #92 . This would have functionality to paste any amount of text into a book and it would automatically continue on the next page and cut off at the end.

This would mean you could copy paste Moby Dick into the book, and it would only cut off after the 100 page limit is hit. To be fair, my pull request is now closed because of a sync mistake on my side, but maybe in the future it would solve your import problem.

I personally find the pasting approach a more elegant solution than uploading/importing a PDF file into Minecraft.

Thank you for the suggestion! PDF importing will unfortunately never be a thing, since PDF is a format that's way too complex to be imported into Minecraft. As mentioned, text overflow with pasting will help with this, though I can also definitely see the use for just being able to import .txt files.

I see, nice to see something is being worked on :)

Damn, well txt files can still work 👍
