Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Printing press and other cool things

Ever spend ages on a banner, book or some other customisable item, only to realise you need a spare or a back-up, or even just decided you don't have nearly enough for what you need? Well the printing press would allow you to quickly copy the item by simply inserting the base item and the new 'tracing paper' item. The way to make tracing paper would be to dip a piece of paper in a dragon breath filled cauldron which would have 7 durability and the recipe for the printing press would be 3 2 tracing paper side by side underneath 2 wood also side by side, much like a flipped cartography table. To give this a real purpose they would be accompanied by a 'boat with a sail', being able to put banners on elytra, banners on maps for bedrock and shields with banners for bedrock. The recipe for the boat with a sail would be a regular placed in a crafting table with a banner and it would increase the speed of the boat by 7%. This would make boats a more viable option late game for exploring oceans and would be a great way of expressing yourself which would fit the theme of 1.20 Banners on elytra and shields would be purely cosmetic, maybe adding a 2% durability bonus continuing the theme and increasing parity. Finally adding the ability to mark locations on maps with banners in bedrock would not only further the themes of 1.20 [parity and self expression] but also be a good way of adding depth to worlds and would encourage people to add lore to them as well as helping to navigate.

    In conclusion it is apparent that given the themes of 1.20, now would be the perfect time to add these game changing features added to Minecraft and would open up the way to tonnes of good features, creating massive opportunities for players wanting a more lore and in-depth feel to their Minecraft worlds, which in the end makes Minecraft a better game-for everyone

    A printing press (or similar item, maybe call it a printing table?) would be extra interesting for duplicating custom banners, written books, & other some other customizable items... It would also bring a unique and brilliant use to copper (if it was crafted with copper)

    as for a crafting recipe, I suggest a deepslate base [3 deepslate] (or something else to make it late-game-ish) 3 copper (across the top), a loom (for the mechanical bits?),  a brick (for the stamps), and an ink sac... (or something along those lines?)
