Monster Egg (also known as Silverfish Block or Block 97) is a block that spawn Silverfish when broken. Monster Eggs have identical looks to either stone, cobblestone, or stone brick, and are naturally found in strongholds, hiding among the true blocks . The block can be easily destroyed by hand, distinguishing it from the blocks. Mining a Monster Egg with a Silk Touch enchantment gives the player the type of block that the Monster Egg is disguised as.

Monster Eggs are meant to deceive players. When mined, it will spawn a Silverfish which will instantly attack the player. Also, if the player attacks a Silverfish directly with a sword, bow or potion of harming, nearby Monster Eggs will break, spawning other aggressive Silverfish. If the block is destroyed by an explosion (e.g., creepers, TNT, etc.), the Silverfish will die inside of the block, which gives no experience points. Ender Dragons are also able to destroy Monster Eggs, preventing a silverfish from spawning. When a Silverfish is not pursuing the player, the Silverfish will go to the nearest stone, cobblestone, or stone brick and go inside it, converting the block into a Monster Egg. When mined, the spawned Silverfish will have full health.

Monster Eggs are available in the inventory in creative mode, and can also be made by placing a stone, cobblestone, or stone brick block, and right-clicking on it with a Silverfish Spawn Egg. The block will then convert into a Monster Egg. Attempting to add more Silverfish into the block will result in the silverfish spawning normally.

The '''Smarter Watch''' was a joke offhand [[item]].

== Usage ==
Smarter watches were "equipped" by having them placed into the offhand slot. Upon equipping, they would display the current time above the hotbar, in minutes and seconds, with one minute of in-game time being 5/6 of a real-time second, and one in-game hour being 5/6 of a real-time minute or 50 seconds.

The smarter watch would also notify the [[player]] of statistics milestones, alongside taken [[damage]], [[item]] specific info, [[crafting]] items and more.{{info needed|What exactly?}}

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.

== Usage ==

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

* The in-game restrictions on books are not hard limits.

These books still function properly in vanilla ''Minecraft'', meaning the [[player]] may encounter such books on adventure maps or multiplayer servers.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-hacking-books</ref>

The '''Reality vision''' was a joke [[helmet]].

== Usage ==
Reality vision was equipped via the [[helmet]] slot. When equipped, it showed a [[wikipedia:Mini-map|minimap]] in the bottom-center of the screen (which moved when the [[player]]'s camera moves). The minimap showed all [[chunk]]s that were currently rendered. The player's location was represented by a green [[beacon]] beam marker on the map.

It displayed a vision overlay (similar to the [[pumpkin]] overlay). The overlay would change to a new overlay if the player went into third person (unlike the pumpkin overlay), which made the screen appear like an old [[wikipedia:Television|television]] screen. The overlay was called <code>cantseeshit<!-- Do not change this; this is that word that is actually used-->captain.png</code> in the assets folder. It activated a [[Shaders|shader]] when equipped (<code>scan_pincushion</code>).
