Wouldn't it be cool to send messages in SMP, without alerting the whole server? Like, smoke signals, mail and packages, well, this post will explain my ideas on SMP Communications!
First off, Mail.
Mail would be sent to players, if they had a mail box ready, (I'll get to that later) or maybe a trusted someone could deliver the mail. Anyway, making mail would be as simple as putting, a feather, paper and an ink sack, in a diagonal order anyway. After that, right click with it and you can edit it like a sign, except bigger and more room to write on each line. But before you start, it would ask you for who to send it too. Who ever writes on the mail will automatically be the sender. Now to mailboxes. A mail box would be crafted like so:
Where is fence and is mail.
The mailbox would be used to send and receive mail, mail would last for up to a month and if it hadn't been opened or taken out after that, it will be deleted. All of it. And you may only have 50 items in one mailbox. If someone tries to send another message when you have over 50 items in the mail, it will send them a message saying the mailbox is full.
Packages. They would be created by crafting a block/item with mail. It will be transformed into a package and when you mouse over it, it would say what was in the package, but only for the sender. This means it wont ruin the surprise of a present to another player.
Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions for this topic or another idea (I was thinking of smoke signals) post it down below. Thank you!
Been suggested before. You just wasted your time. Use the search bar.
Well, I did use the search bar and looked for 'Mail', 'SMP Communications', 'Mailboxes', 'Communications' and the only other one I found close to this was a suggestion using redstone. Could I get a link for the suggestion like mine? And also, sorry for that then.
But I can imagine trolls sending random mail to fill a mail box. I can also imagine them searching through other peoples mailboxes just to annoy everyone.
A lock would prevent the second problem, but not sure what you could do about the first.

Good idea about the lock, and I was thinking, only the maker of the mailbox would be able to access it. Like, once you made it and placed it down it would have a name floating about it saying "Skittles19's Mailbox" and also, you could be able to filter who the mail is from or something. :biggrin.gif:

Curse PremiumI am terrible at creating banners.... This has been suggested before. Still, not bad!
Hello.
But I can imagine trolls sending random mail to fill a mail box. I can also imagine them searching through other peoples mailboxes just to annoy everyone.
