I think it would be a good idea to have the option to write letters to other players. No one in the real world would write a letter in the form of a book, and it would not make much sense to.
How it will work.
The crafting recipe will be the same thing as making a book and quill; but instead of placing a book, you place a piece of paper instead.
Upon crafting the paper and quill, it will act just like a book, but with a few changes to functionality. Instead of being able to write 50 pages of text, you can write on only one page, both sides if needed. 255 characters are permitted per page, much like the regular book.
Why would we need this?
The idea would be great for roleplaying. If a server has a plug-in where you can see players' chats from said-number meters away, it would be impossible to talk to one player from one side of the map to another. In order to communicate, players can write letters and sent them via a minecart or a messenger boy/mailman. Not only will it add character to the server, but it will fit in with role-playing as well.
Will it be beneficial to other players or servers?
Yes and no. Yes, because it will, as I stated, fit right into the roleplay aspect and certain plug-ins would truly serve as a purpose. In an economy server, for example, being a mailman can be a legitimate profession or job. Activating global chat would make that job redundant. The paper and quill will not be needed; it would create redundancy. We already do have a book and quill, signs, and global chat. Many servers may not utilize it, but there may always be a proper purpose for them.
