Decorating book covers and drawing in books

I really want minecraft to stay away from becoming a modern game. So I came up with some ideas with books that aren't modern, but are still, in my opinion, very fun. Firstly, I think you should be able to decorate book covers with smashed berries, beetroots or dye. I also think you should be able to draw on book pages with those items or charcoal. I think it would be really fun to be able to draw in an old fashioned way. It would also be cool if you could color the spine of the book and be able to craft empty book shelves. You could place your books inside the empty shelves, and if the spine was decorated you would see the colored spines in the shelf.

    I agree! I am no expert at ASCII art, and this would be really cool.

    I would also suggest a little correction on the book and quill GUI because it seems that is near the top border of the screen, while all the other GUI like workbenches, furnaces and chests are exactly in the middle.

    I think something like "item emojis" where you can somehow put pictures of in game items directly into the book, exactly how they appear in other guis. Would be very cool for spicing up books in game and help with tutorial books that you might make for other people for maps.

    It would be more cool if we are able to add items, blocks, and maps into the page. Because I always like to explore a lot of area with maps, so I could put all the maps into a book, like a collection of maps. That will be more fun and more style of book instead of just some text.

    Also being able like in Bedrock to see 2 pages at the same time (could be an option that can be switched on/off)

    This looks very interesting, it reminds me of the portfolio book of Education Edition, and the truth I think it would be great to be able to put drawings in the books since you could record things that you can not with words, example of that I keep a record of all the minecraft creatures in my world mobestiary style, and diaries of important events that occurred in my worlds and I would love to record an image next to these

    I love this idea! This would be the perfect way to give players the ability to draw without having to draw blocks.
