[Idea] Paper & Writing, also Books & Bookshelves

Postby kemil88 » Sat Oct 15, 2016 1:48 am

I would like to give instructions to my villagers when I am offline (because I don't really like that they waste all the doughs and eggs on omelettes or anything that is not MEATPIE)
Processing Wood to get Paper.
Processing Wood (or branch) & Coal to make Pencil
Use Pencil on Paper to open the Writing Menu
Right Click on Paper to read what is written on it

I know there are other ways to write but they are like placeables and permanent (like writing on a stone or a sign) but this paper would be so easy to make that you could throw it away once you read it.

Also this could be a good way to start making books and LIbraries
2 Leather + Glue to prepare the book without pages, then pick the pages in order you want them to be read and right click on the book to place them, after let's say "5 minutes" you can't put pages on the book anymore because the glue has solidificated.

Bookshelves (act like Cupboard, I mean it can only be placed indoor or it will decay fast even on a paved village), it could be made with just boards like the Cupboard, it have a certain number of slots only for books, liftable only if empty (because the books would fall down).

Also you can give a Name to the book

Some cool thoughts in here, though wood pulp paper is a bit too modern for my tastes.

We already have parchment for this. No real need in paper itself.

Parchment is too expencive for using and throwing it or for making books, that's why in the medieval era books were only for rich people
