Yeah, as mentioned, only arrows and written books use feathers.
First off, I know you mentioned you don't want arrows, but perhaps if you want to get a very nice bow, you'll use it often enough to use those arrows up.
Written books, on the other hand, also have a large benefit, although it's somewhat difficult to attain. Villager Librarians often give the option to exchange written books for emeralds. They don't even have to have any words in them, and you can gain a whole bunch of emeralds from him that way.
Of course. I do. Well, it's not like they grow on trees or anything, so how else would I get them? Slaying skeletons doesn't yield enough of it.
Most people find it faster, easier and less annoying than trying to get flint from gravel. Unless you have a fortune shovel of course. And if you find a skeleton dungeon it's easy to make a grinder for easy arrows.
I keep three stacks and have probably thrown away 20 stacks by now.
And I wonder why I keep those three stacks since I have a skeleton grinder where I get a full double chest of arrows within a few hours just standing still...
Feathers are useless. Just like a lot of minecraft items seem pretty useless - flint (except if you're a pyromaniac), string, rotten flesh, spider eyes... and once you have double chest worth of items, even stuff like coal becomes useless (thanks to my blaze rod XP grinder). What can I really do with a double chest of bones which I could turn into THREE double chests of bonemeal? LOL
I guess that's how I know when it's time to finish the game off and figure out this "End" stuff... right after I complete my collection of a double chest full of each wool color thanks to my sheep farm.

Clearly I need kill more chickens... I never seem to have enough feathers, and I have more flint than I know what to do with. I also have three librarians currently looking for written books... I'll take your feathers off your hands if you don't want 'em!
If you furiously want to use them, install mods, vanilla doesnt use them for anythign except the things you dont wanna make...
Or make them into arrows and load dispensers with them and rapid fire them at your target of choice.

This is actually the reason I started using mods. Cactus farm and nothing to use the cactus on. Rofl.
Make a bunch of books to write in and store the rest of the feathers away for later when there's more content added so you suddenly don't have to scramble for feathers for something new to craft.
Any suggestions?
Nothing says irony like writing a book instead of playing a game, while playing the game.
Write like a daily diary in Minecraft perhaps?

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
Great idea! It's the best way to do it! Who doesn't have a feather-house!?
