Talk:Written Book

Bookshelves
Written books should be able to be stored in bookshelves. Once you put the book, the texture of the bookshelf might change a bit or maybe another remarkable thing should appear.

should it be merged back with "Book and Quill"?
Should it be merged back with "book and Quill"? i mean, it makes sense that both are togheter as they are very related. plus, the page is a stub. 201.240.84.227 23:00, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Written Book Info
I have two questions. One, if you clone a written book will the clone have the same story in it that the original had? And Two, if you use a written book to make a bookshelf then will you get that written book back just as it was when you built the bookshelf if you break the bookshelf? I feel that this information should be on the page. Brickticks (talk) 18:02, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Using the recipe to copy a written book provides 2 copies of the same book, including the text inside (that's the point of the feature). As far as I know, you cannot craft bookshelves out of written books, so your second question doesn't really need answering. Hope this helps. --timrem (talk) 18:10, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Book size
Is there a limit to the number of characters that can be written in a book? I want to port in a Bible :D –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.234.60.32 (talk)&#32;21:27, 16 May 2014(UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * There is a limit, but it's big. Each page is stored as a TAG_String, which can hold up to 32,767 characters; each book can contain up to 2,147,483,639 pages, for a total of over 70 trillion characters. I don't have an exact wordcount on the Bible, but estimates are around 3-4 million characters, so it can definitely be done. -- Orthotopetalk 00:15, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Tattered book?
On the page for written books, it says "Copied books of the same generation ("Original", "Copy of Original", "Copy of Copy", or "Tattered") will stack." Tattered books? It doesnt explain tattered books, where do they come from, what is their difference and what is their use? 24.57.126.46 00:11, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * They're currently only available using commands, presumably they'd be what you got if you could copy a "Copy of Copy". I don't know why exactly someone felt the need to shove them in there. Anomie x (talk) 01:24, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
