I was just crafting some books, when I thought of an Idea that includes books, Ink sacs and feathers.
Diaries.
To make them, you would use an ink sac on the end of a feather to make a Quill. You combine the Quill with a book to make a diary. Now, you can place the diary down wherever you like, just like a block. Once placed down, right clicking the diary will give you two options- Read and Write. Selecting Write allows you to write a short message, just like a sign. The message is saved into the Read section, along with the date of the message. (For example, Day 326.) Selecting Read will allow you to read all the messages you have written. If you have already written a message that day, you will get a message saying "You have already used your diary today. If I think of anything else, I'll update the thread. :biggrin.gif:
So you'd rather make a long hallway saying stuff like "Day 535-I got ambushed by a creeper" and "Day 666-I went to the nether for the first time" instead?

I'm still looking for more feedback on my configurable Redstone Gate mod. All gates and common circuits (such as e.g. clocks, edge detectors, latches and Flip-Flops) in a single block.
What I would love with this idea is when you do die in the game (survival mode specifically), your diary gets uploaded to the game server, and the next time someone starts their own single player game, there's a chance they find this long lost diary somewhere in the wilderness or in a cave or something. At least then it gives us a reason to write entries because others will eventually see it.
I like this idea, but I'd like to propose a few changes.
Quills should be crafted like so: ]" title="-<->" /> []
KEY: is ink sac is bowl
It would also have durability (or i could say the amount of ink in the bowl) like tools.
You should be able to put books on the floor. Right click with a quill to write in it. Right click with anything else to read it. Your left & right movement keys should turn pages.
Also, dont call them diaries. Call them journals.

Exactly as described in the thread I linked. See my post, subsection Mechanics, option a.
I.e. I agree :wink.gif:

Thoughts?
Less work.

If I wanted to be a girl, and use a diary, maybe.

YES Journal.
