Written books are an item created after a Book and Quill is signed. It appears as the same red book, but without the quill, and has an enchanted-looking glint. The color is more reddish.
Obtaining[]
One can get a written book by signing a Book and Quill. After signing it, it cannot be edited again. The item of the name will not say "Written Book," but instead what the player made the title of the book.
Usage[]
Written books can be opened by right-clicking (or holding down on the screen in Bedrock Edition), and will display a GUI allowing the player to read it or turn the page.
The contents of a book are an extra set of data attached to the item. This means that when a book is destroyed, its contents are lost with it.
One can place a written book on an empty lectern. The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15.
