wood chips, saw dust and paper making (more ways to make paper through wood products)

Is the assumption that the game is set in Europe, then? I can't work out what you're saying :/

well as of yet, it mostly is, or at least, in the western world. What I'm saying is that you are not going to have stone age paper. It should be at least after bronze

Oh, ok, gotcha! I thought you meant no paper period. Not really thinking straight today...

It's not just water left with the pulp... if you want to be believable, you take into account the biochemicals sucked out of the paper because of the water... Chemicals that trees and plants from just becoming paper...

as this is minecraft

i don t think chemicals are a problem.

though we could neutralize them with a material like lime or chalk

this would also dye the paper white

Concede, but dunk how do we make the bronze stuff without paper?

[Scooterdanny 285]

Vellum

Step 1, kill sheep

Step 2, treat skin

Step 3, write on vellum to create recipes.

Yeah, and the advantage of paper, is the option of making maps (or better ones if you read my thread on compasses) books, and more complicated pieces of literature.

hmm i ve always wanted MUCH better maps within the game

my favorite idea was to add the ability to place a map on a surface and put "pins" in it to mark locations

[Scooterdanny 285]

Hmm, well imma link the idea i posted as it is relevant in this convo,

Now, here's an idea, we remove markers, and there would be progressively better materials for use in mapmaking, ie better ink, quills, and parchment. and each would affect the quality of the map. so really crappy squid ink with a chicken feather on (essentially) flax would be a grayscale badly detailed image, whereas a nice quality feather (random drop from chicken?) would affect the detail, the ink would control the color scale, and the parchment would affect the overlay of the map, IE vellum texture overlaying a map as opposed to paper grain.

but also we could add the ability to place them (like dunk said) and add pins for location like you just mentioned.
