What is Book and Quill in Minecraft?
A Book and Quill is a special item in Minecraft that lets you become an author. It is a book that you can open and write in, just like a real journal or diary. You can type out stories, keep track of coordinates for important locations, write instructions for an adventure map, or leave messages for your friends on a server. The Book and Quill has multiple pages, so you have plenty of space to write. Once you are finished writing, you can sign the book, which gives it a title and an author and makes it a permanent, unchangeable "Written Book". It is a wonderful tool for adding a personal touch and a bit of storytelling to your Minecraft world.
How to get Book and Quill in Minecraft
You can only get a Book and Quill by crafting it yourself. It cannot be found in chests or bought from villagers. To craft a Book and Quill, you will need three items: one book, one ink sac, and one feather. First, you need a book, which you can craft from paper and leather or find in structures like strongholds. Next, you need an ink sac, which you can get by defeating squids found in rivers and oceans. Finally, you need a feather, which you can get from chickens. Once you have all three ingredients, go to a crafting table. The recipe is shapeless, which means you can place the book, ink sac, and feather anywhere in the crafting grid, and you will get a Book and Quill.
How to use Book and Quill in Minecraft
To use a Book and Quill, hold it in your hand and right click to open its writing interface. You can type on the pages just like in a text editor. You can write up to 100 pages, with each page holding a good amount of text. You can use the arrow buttons to flip between pages. When you are happy with what you have written, you can click the "Sign" button. This will prompt you to enter a title for your book. After you give it a title and confirm, the Book and Quill becomes a "Written Book". It will now have a purple glint like an enchanted item. You can read a written book, but you can no longer edit it. You can also place a written book on a lectern for others to read.
