A book.json file is what tells Modopedia the basic properties of a book such as the title, subtitle, type and many other properties. Without a book.json, Modopedia will not be aware of your book existing and therefore be unable to load it.
Datapack Location
The book.json for your book should be located in a datapack at data/<namespace>/modopedia/books/<book_id>.json where namespace is the ID of your mod or namespace of your modpack and book_id is the ID of your book, both of these need to follow Minecraft's ResourceLocation rules. When referencing your book, for example on a book item, namespace:book_id should be used.
