What you’ll build
Plan the chapters of a survival handbook for brand-new players, draft your best tips on paper, then write them into a book and quill. Add a Never Do This page, sign it and build a library with a lectern so any visitor can read it.
Finish line: Your signed survival handbook sits on a lectern in your new library, ready for any visitor.
Bonus challenge: Hand the handbook to someone who's never played your world. They follow page 1 in a fresh world: do they survive the first night?
You’ll need
- A book
- An ink sac
- A feather
- A lectern
- Bookshelves
You choose
- My handbook's title
- My author name
- The chapter I'm proudest of
Stuck?
- Draft on paper first. Typing in-game is slow, especially on a touchscreen.
- Read it all through before signing. Once signed, a book can never be edited.
- Lectern won't take the book? It needs a signed book or a book and quill in your hand when you tap it.
