Here’s the development snapshot of week 17, 2012! This week’s list of changes:

    Added editable books
    Wooden half slabs in four colors (and they act as wood instead of stone)
    Bug fixing and tweaks, notably about entity collisions, “picking blocks” (creative mode), and chat
    Some other, censored stuff

I can't figure out where the data is saved, though. Wish I could, probably packed in some file it shouldn't be for the sake of making me sad. Anyway, I'm helping manage the wiki right now about it. I fixed up the Book and Quill page a bit.

Special text coding works in books:

• §k - Random characters
• §l - Bold text
  
• §m - Striked text
  
• §n - Underlined text
  
• §o - Italic text
  
• §r - Resets any of the above so text after is normal

I believe the writable books will be able to be crafted in the official update.

I've made a house with an iron door, when you flip the switch to go inside, the ground under you is pulled by a sticky piston so you fall and die.

Griefers don't use the front door, they break in!
