Writing
By pressing use item or long pressing screen anywhere
Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100
The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.
In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.
Lecterns
One can place a book and quill or 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. This is why lecterns are listed in the “redstone” tab in the creative inventory.
Formatting codes
Main article: Formatting codes
Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the § character (section sign).
§ + k creates randomly changing characters.§ + l creates bold text.§ + m creates strikethrough text.§ + n creates underlined text.§ + o creates italic text.§ + 0 – f (hexadecimal) creates colored text.§ + r resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.
If the player uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.
Signing
Books can be signed by pressing the “Sign” button while in the interface. In Java Edition, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. In Bedrock Edition, the book doesn”t display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a written book.
The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the § character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.
