Book and Quill

Book and Quills are used to write books the player may read. Books and paper can naturally occur in chests, inside strongholds. It will appear in the next public update.

Crafting
Book and Quills are crafted using one Book, Feather, and Ink Sac in any arrangement.

Writing
Using this item, the player can write a single book up to 50 pages long. When signed, it will have the name of the player who wrote it. The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long. On Single Player, the world will pause while a book is being edited.

The ability to copy and paste is available. However, if the text on the clipboard is longer than the amount of text permitted on one page, the paste will not work.

The style of the book can be controlled with the section operator §.


 * §k creates randomly changing characters.
 * §l creates bold text.
 * §m creates striked text.
 * §n creates underlined text.
 * §o creates italic text.
 * §[0-f, hexadecimal] creates colored text. See Color codes.
 * §r resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

Trivia

 * Once signed, the Book and Quill will revert to a different-textured (more red) book. However, it will have an enchanted purple hue. A signed book's tooltip is also changed to show the title of the book followed by the name of the player who signed it.
