Dying books: It's a simple idea. It's super easy to code, yet it's a cool feature. To dye a book, you would, as you could imagine, just go into a crafting table and combine a book with dye to get a dyed book (or you could also throw it into a cauldron with dye in it if you were on bedrock edition). And of course, you could also dye a written book. But why would you want to dye a book? Well, that's where the chiseled bookshelf would come in.
Using different colored dyed books, you could change the way the chiseled bookshelf looks. You people at Mojang might be thinking, "Eh, it's too hard to code," but I would argue that it would be easy to code. I've snooped around in the texture files of Minecraft before, and I've noticed that the textures of all the textures of the leaves are gray instead of green (except azalea and flowering azalea) as well as the grass block top and even grass block side has a white overlay. My theory is that you do that, and then, somewhere in the code, you make it so that depending on the biome, the shade of green of the grass and leaves are different. You could do that with the chiseled bookshelf, but instead it's different colors in general depending on what color the book is dyed (and yes, if the book is not dyed, then it'll just be brown, and enchanted books would always be their magical purple color that they're famous for). If this is all still "too hard" for you guys, then please, just make it so that there are dyable books. It's a nice mechanic.
