/u/ynl38 on reddit made a suggestion for a resourcepack that I decided to make a reality. Currently it has support for 1.7-1.14.x with optifine only, however I will try to make one that is vanilla friendly if I can. It might be a little buggy if I get it working with vanilla and will likely only support 1.13-1.14.x.

This resourcepack makes all of the books black/gray and changes the color of and of the ribbon based on type, and the lock on the book based on level. armor is sword enchants have the original red ribbon, bows have orange, armor has green, tools have brown, tridents have cyan, crossbows have purple, and curses have a black ribbon. Level 1 books have just the band, level two has the standard lock on the default books, level 3 has an extended lock, level 4 has an extended lock with detailing on the ribbon, and level 5 is the same as level 4 but with a glow. All curses have the level 5 lock texture with a red lock and glow instead of yellow.

Books with 2 or more enchantments will take decide on the texture by using the first one in the pack. In this case, Armor has top priority, followed by bows, crossbows, curses, swords, tools, and tridents. The lowest level of the highest priority type decides the texture of the book.
