I love writing my own story in-game with books and ink&quill, but it is a bit inconvenient to use.
You cannot store the i&q near a book naturally and have to place it awkwardly nearby on other surfaces.
I'd like to see/suggest the following changes, since i&q takes 1/4th of a block if placed on the ground anyway:
- You can put i&q at the top of the bookshelf (left/right)
- You can put i&q in front of the bookshelf (left/right)
- You can put i&q inside the bookshelf (takes 1 or 2 "book-spaces")
Also, it is not possible to just read the book if you have ink&quill equipped. You have to unequip it, then read (often for formatting), reequip it, and then continue writing.
Kind regards
