I know Notch has said he would be able to make books you can type in, but it would be REALLY amazing if it came out with 1.8. I would devote an entire day(Night?) To studying and following enderman and putting it all in a book. Or I would go completely insane in a cave system and just write weird delusional sentences.
This would be awesome on MP servers. Just leave a random book in a chest in the middle of nowhere and then someone's like "Oh hey, a chest with a book. Imma read it."
It would be great for Adventure Maps. Also for librarys. I personally would study all the mobs and jot them down in there own book. Maybe even name the books! I would also do the crazy cave thing someone posted above.
I agree with all of you, this would be an awesome feature to have in the game. Notch, if you're reading this, PLEASE try to get this in by 1.8, I would be SO thankful if you could. :biggrin.gif:
I'm excited :tongue.gif:.
maybe you can make empty bookshelfs. you craft them like bokshelves, but without the books. you can then later manually put in books :tongue.gif:
