Update release! Make sure to redownload and get a new command book!

This datapack adds windmills to the game.
You need to use the provided resource pack in order to use this datapack. The current versions are v5 for the datapack and v7 for the resourcepack for Minecraft 1.21 (lower versions will not work). Currently, these windmills are available:

Oak
Spruce
Birch
Jungle
Acacia
Dark Oak

Installation

Drop the .zip file into the datapacks folder inside your world save file. If the world is already running, enter /reload into the chat. Install the resource pack as usual, or as a world-specific resource pack by renaming it to resources and putting it into the main folder of your world save file.

How to I create these?
Use the following command to get the control book:
/function ercerus:windmills/command_bookAfter you got the book, you can use it to create the windmills. You can also rotate and move them with this book. Make sure to get a new book with every new version of this datapack.

Intended Use

I made this for an unreleased adventure map and decided to turn it into a datapack, so everyone can use it. It is intended for use in survival worlds or for use in adventure maps. Therefor, you don't need to ask me if you want to use this in one of your adventure maps. Just write a comment below that you did so. You can also provide a link to your map/creation if you wish to do so.

Technical Information
These wndmills are paper items with a CustomModelData tag added to them. They are all tagged with the tag windmill alongside their material (e.g.: oak, spruce, dark_oak, ...). The respective CustomModelData tags can be found inside the resource pack under ...\assets\minecraft\models\item\paper.json

Hi, I'm having some trouble with getting this data pack to work on 1.20.4. When I right-click the book, I just see a bunch of JSON instead of it being rendered properly. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have the resource pack installed and at the top of the load order.

Thanks for the bug report. The reason it did not work was because the datapack had not been updated to 1.20.4 yet, where the syntax for books changed. I just released an update to fix this, make sure to redownload the datapack and get a new book.
