Editable Books
Discharge, Thu May 03 2012, 02:05PMIn the next update, we will see editable books arriving in minecraft.
Could this be a new trade? Buying and selling story books?
What will you write about?

I would like to make the first suggestion.
How about giving every new member a book of the rules?

It's a good idea, but what if anyone joins while no ones online? And will it always be accessible, like in a chest (or wherever we will be able to place them) at spawn?

I think books have a page and character limit. Wikipedia might be a problem... Rules on the other hand, should be added right into inventory the first time a player logs on. If they lose em... Well, can't think of a way the server wouldn't get spammed with rule books everywhere from players getting it if they died... Just don't lose your copy, k? =D
Edit: Oh right, I'm supposed to be helpful and give useful suggestions for books... Uhm... Maybe a Library for people to submit and check out books. Not sure how checking out and enforcing return would work... And... uh... 101 uses for dirt. I'll even start! 1. Placing 2.Breaking 3.Throwing 4.Picking up 5.Trapping others in boxes 5....

What about a plugin :
For each new member their 9th slot inventory will always has the rules handbook until they reached 30 points or so ?
Death will not make the book lost.

Re: Editable Books
beagrie, Tue May 08 2012, 08:08PM
As I think I'll probably write something (if only for the novelty) and don't plan to do it from in Minecraft, I did a bit a math on the books, so that I could write something outside of MC and paste it in.
If you're interested (based on the 12w17a snapshot), the books have 13 lines to a page, and can fit 22 characters on a line (spaces count as a character). That's 286 characters to a page, and 14,300 characters to a book.
That comes to (on average) 50-60 words to a page, and 2,500-3,000 words to a book. So you can probably fit a fairly short story in there, if, like me, you're thinking of something fictiony.
If, like me, you are planning on writing something outside of MC to paste/copy in, remember, the above word counts are rough guesses, the character counts are what... uhm, count.

Very unlikely. I don't think there's a monospace font around that has music notes, and it's not part of standard ASCII, that I'm aware.
Not sure about other instruments, but simple ASCII text lends itself well to guitar tabulation.

Text in chat and in signs has a fairly limited character set:
!\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~⌂Çüéâäàåçêë
èïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜø£Ø׃áíóúñѪº¿®¬½¼¡«»
But it looks like books will support any unicode character, so perhaps there is hope yet.
On a side note, as of recently, with a simple server plugin you can actually get any unicode character in chat/signs. Might be something to look into.
