Book and Quill
minecraft:writable_book
The Book and Quill is an item in Minecraft that is crafted from a Book, a Feather, and an Ink Sac. It does not stack, so each one takes up its own inventory slot.
Players make it when they want a writable item to carry with them, combining the three ingredients in the crafting grid.
