so i was thinking books/bookshelves currently serve no purpose other than decoration so heres my idea:
Interface
ok so here is the layout:/
You could make an ink pen (feather combined with ink sac) and begin writing in a book
its rather simple you can leave entries for others to read (interesting to find a crazed adventures journal in a dungeon chest) or record transactions and other events for your clans in server.
*EDIT* as i was looking through here i remebred how much people liked this idea and how much was added so i will try to revive this thread
new ideas:
maps
jump to page
writing down recipes
and some other stuff i forgot about :sleep.gif:
so i hope this gets put in game
You could also have it show stats, such as:
Blocks Placed -
Times Killed -
Arrows Shot -
Total Hearts Lost -
Etc.
Yeah I definitely love this idea but the blocks placed and such added would make it an even better idea. It would be definitely cool to write about your own adventures and have all of your stats shown- brilliant!

I like this idea... would also like the possibility of drawing maps in it so u wouldnt need to use cartographer or some such program to remember what the path to a certain area is.
can't beleive i didn't think of the map or the jump to page thing, gah no i feel sort of dumb ^.- thx for the positive feedback @Arbiter_Archon as i said i never thought of those things so thank you for informing me about it
Would give a purpose for things like bedrooms / libraries / archives / offices.
In my bedroom, I could place a journal next to my bed, for decorative and memoir purposes.
Libraries could be used as a place in SMP servers as information-points. Loads of books on different features of the server. Buxville comes to mind. When you first jump on a big server like that, you have no clue what to do, a library to help guide you around the servers functions would be useful.
Archives are for obvious purposes, just keeping records, and books could have the same purpose in an office.
Also, +1 if we get a printing press and can COPY books. Place 2 books in the printing press, one on left, one on right. All written material from the left book get copied into the books on the right. I play PvP Clan-based servers a lot, and this would let me build a clan rulebook / newbies guide that is easily distributed.
I agree with Arbiter_Archon on the whole map idea. A drawing tool would also be really useful! A journal that you could write in, place anywhere, shows your stats, draw pictures, put in maps, and anythinhg else mentioned in this post would make the perfect journal, something that Minecraft definitely needs!
