I am working on an adventure RPG map and I don't want to put up signs everywhere to tell the story. A book and quill would be better because you can write many pages and put them in chests instead of signs everywhere. Who agrees that book and quill should come in the next update?
Anyway, Howarthee said, "They're never adding book and quill because it's tedious to type on the Xbox as not everyone has a chatpad or keyboard lying around to plug in."
I have been waiting for a book and quill for a very long time.
Even though it is tedious to type on xbox, I don't think that means they wont add it.
I have a keyboard and a chatpad so this doesn't apply to everyone.

The exact words have literally passed their lips saying that they're not adding the Book and Quill.
Find the 4J Panel at Minecon 2012 video. They say right there that because it's a very tedious thing and that not everyone has a chatpad or USB keyboard available, they're not going to be adding it.

Thank you, I couldn't remember if it was from Minecon, or a tweet, so I didn't say where I got it from..

Why can't they just have you type it just like on signs? For signs, you just use your controller and a keyboard appears on the screen. I'd be okay if they did it that way.
Because signs are small little things mostly used to label such as "Chris' House" or "Storage Area" but the book and quills primary purpose is to help tell a story. And since we can't share adventure maps or have a world hosted by someone else the point of a Book and Quill is rather small.
Cause honestly, if you want to give instructions and/ or backstory you can just tell it yourself.
The only reason I'd want a book and quill would be for like a diary but meh, that's just the roleplaying me wanting to roleplay.

Do you realize how long it would take to type a whole story with the Xbox controller? It would be tedious.

If only when your playing on multiplayer, when typing stuff on a sign, takes up the whole screen, if anything, that's what is most likely to happen with the book and quill on here. If so, make sure it's not in multiplayer, I can't tell you how many times that ended up killing me!
Book & Quill definitely needs to be in the next update. I am also trying to make an RPG map and putting signs everywhere isn't an ideal way of explaining everything.
I dont see why they wont add them, its the same way if your typing in a seed or sign.. if its to long to type in then do it if you really want to or just dont, but if you has a small keypad for your remote it just makes it easier

It may have something to do with the language filters Microsoft has currently vetting all the signs. Books would also have to have the language in them cleared and that might just lag the game into oblivion.
Not everyone has a USB keyboard or the chatpad for their controllers. In light of that, 4J said they will not be adding it.
No offense intended, but that's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. If a person can afford an Xbox 360 Console, Minecraft XB360 Edition, and Xbox Live Gold, then that same person can afford a USB keyboard, which would probably be about $20.

It saves me the effort and space of spamming walls with signs.
Stay fluffy~

Those would probably come with anvils, if we get them.
It would be nice, but written books are not coming out on the 360 edition. It's been confirmed by 4J.
