I had a habit of deleting my worlds after playing in them for a really short time. And at some point, a lot of people started talking about Forever Worlds, and I wanted in on it. So, a plan I devised to keep me in a world for a long time was to just write things. You're not so quick to delete things you've written. Journals, Lore, Etc. And I use chiseled bookshelves to hide them in my builds. Doesn't necessarily have to be made of blocks to be a creative contribution – although, at one point, I was mostly logging on to the world to make books.

– Also, the reason this is a separate block and not an extra function to the lectern is that lecterns are really made for standing and reading. I imagine hunching over to write on a tilted surface is really uncomfortable. – That, and I just wanted to texture a block.

  1. I really like this. Simple, not high impact, but very flavorful and fun.

    Now we just need a villager for it. Or maybe it replaces the lectern for librarians.

  2. I’m not writing book so it’s not a block I’d use, but I know several people are doing it on a server I’m playing and I don’t really see a downside to this block. The top texture could be used for decoration as well like papers on the floor.
