Natural generation

Boxes of infinite books naturally generate in the "Template:Code" dimension where it makes up the bulk of the dimension's terrain, and in the "Template:Code" dimension where 10 boxes can be found in the basement of the house.

Usage

When Template:Ctrl, if the block is not on one of its chunk's edges and facing along that edge, a random Minecraft:written book is generated. This book can be thrown into a Minecraft:Nether portal to create a Minecraft:funky portal.

The random books are tied to the Minecraft:block such that using the same block multiple times always returns an identical book. The title of the random books given by the block is correlated with the location of the block. The title's pattern takes the format <chunk X>/<chunk Z>/<block orientation>/<distance to the chunk's edge to the right of the block>/<block Y>, so books from the same block always has the same title and content.

The author of every book is "Universe itself", obfuscated, and every book has 16 pages filled with random text. No books ever drop if Minecraft:game rule Template:Code is set to Template:Code.
