wooden signs are too expensive

[Turtlesir]

4 boards and 4 blocks of wood is too expensive just for leaving small notes. does it really need to be? just make it 1 plank, 1 block.

or bring back parchment. at least some viable way of communicating between people who are not online at the same time often.
(or in my case, to send "welcome to the neighbourhood" fruit baskets without chopping their trees down. ._.,)
