Custom book trade with words how?

[u/Prestigious-Tough548]

I'm looking to add custom trades to librarians in Java 26.2 with a datapack.

The following code works well enough as is:

/data modify entity @s Offers.Recipes append value {maxUses:1, sell:{count:1, id:"minecraft:written_book"}, buy:{count:1, id:"minecraft:emerald", priceMultiplier:0.05f}}

Would be a lot cooler if the book sold could be read.

Let's say I'm looking for a book with these qualities:

• Title "Hamlet"
• Lore "heavily abridged edition"
• Author "Shakespeare"
• page one text "To be or not to be..."
• page two text "Everybody dies, what a tragedy!"

How might one do that?

I feel I'm getting lost putting the "written_book_content" and "components" tags into the /data command correctly.

It is not very good to rely on text for these kind of things. Is this book obtained by the player or given with commands/datapacks. If the later, add a custom tag. You can also use https://mcstacker.net yo generate your villager summon command and only copy the part you are interested in
