A couple simple ideas for adding more flavor to various builds. I know 1.4 is the last big content update, but maybe a few small things like this can still slip in!


Blank Book

This is a book that you can add text to, using the same interface as signs. I imagine they could be found as an uncommon alternate on the dungeon's shelves, and would have a similar appearance.

Some ideal uses for this:
  • Give titles to the books you put in your NPC houses and libraries.
  • Make silly "journal entries" for your NPCs.
  • Add more thematically appropriate notes in adventure maps.
  • There could even be pre-existing messages on the dungeon's books on world gen.

Book Switch

This is a placed book that functions as a switch. It would appear as a singular book on the shelf, and look recessed (darkened) when in the "off" position.

Obtaining this would be a simple craft recipe involving a book, a switch, and a wire. Probably at an anvil, for consistency with other wiring crafts.
 
Oh yes! This is an idea we discussed with a friend before too. though not just regarding books, but bookscases too.
Basically, so both would have a variant that acts the same way as a sign. It could have soo much potencial for adventure maps too, and otherwise a nice "just for fun" addition.

What sort of books are in your library? Or wanna xheck out what is that random book on the top of the bookscase? Or take a peak into the guide's diary? There are so many possibilies!
