The random books are tied to the block such that using the same box multiple times will always return 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 seems to be [Chunk X]/[Chunk Z]/[Facing direction]/[X]/[Y]
The books on the texture are a random color.
The author of every book is "Universe itself" and the pages contain random text
New minecraft:neither_portal Block
If any written book — whether obtained from the Box of Infinite Books or written by a player — is thrown into a nether portal, the portal will change to the neither portal block. Entering the portal will generate a new dimension with random blocks and random colors.
After throwing the book into the portal, the book is destroyed. It will not go through the portal after having changed it.
Throwing identical books into different nether portals will change the nether portal to send you to the same dimension.
A changed nether portal from a book and quill will change the blocks with minecraft:nether_portal as their namespaced ID to minecraft:neither_portal blocks.
The minecraft:neither_portal blocks are block entities.
Running /data get block on them returns the data that includes what dimension it will take you to.
It seems that the blocks dimension data must be correlated with its color. Portals for the same dimension have the same color.
Using /setblock ~ ~ ~ neither_portal will set the block and give it randomized block data as to what dimension it will take you to.
Generated Dimensions
The Menger Sponge Dimension
The generated dimensions will have randomized mobs appear such as giants and withers.
The generated dimensions will have random speed of day/night cycles.
The generated dimensions can have random structures.
The generated dimensions have nether-style generation, with a bedrock ceiling at Y level 128 and the cave generation seen in the Nether.
There are exactly 2,147,483,647 possible dimensions.
Of the possible dimensions, some have been found to be some pretty cool easter eggs. Write the provided string into a book and quill, sign it with whatever title you want, and throw it into any nether portal to get a portal to the described dimension. This can also be done with /warp [string].
