hey, I'm not sure what is causing them to be locked - but I can't actually open the books on the lectern or interact with them in any way. Even if i try to debug it using ftbessentials and read it / set the pages that way it won't work. I haven't found any documentation on this issue, do you guys know if there's a work around? or am I missing something that's in the temple that would unlock the lecterns. It's the only puzzle that doesn't work.

Do you have any other mods that might modify lecterns? Better Desert Temples simply places vanilla lecterns - it doesn't modify their behavior in any way.

If you could recreate the issue and post your latest.log, that might help
