feature request A journal/diary?

[SparseVoltage]

So this is a long shot and I know it is a double whammy but I would love for the game to have a diary system of sorts, for lore and to help with adventure styled servers but also for more hardcore players that do not use the map or have a mod to make the map a physical object. Something like a book is fine but for the earlier ages a wax tablet/wood carvings and or even cave painting. (symbols and flora/fauna) and in the later stages stone/ metal slates?

 

This might be a quadruple whammy by the looks of it but I think this would all really enhance gameplay.

You can already write in books if you hold an ink and quill in your offhand, then the book in your main hand. It's a bit buggy at the moment though, as going to a new line will break whatever word you were writing.
Stone tablets and slates would be fun though.

Honestly did not even know that was a feature...
