    Basically title; the personal journal would be another section that is on the right of the quest book (along with secrets, discoveries, etc.) that would have a Book and Quill as an icon. It would allow you to create, title, and possibly sort different journal entries that you want to create for yourself.

    This could have many different uses, such as writing down puzzle codes, marking locations of interest/coordinates, or maybe even keep tabs on secret discoveries that aren't part of quests, like possibly more elaborate secrets. Or it could just be straight up role-play for the people that are interested in stuff like that.

    Not sure how possible that is, but it seems like it would be relatively simple to put in and very fun for a lot of players.

    EDITS/ADDITIONS:
    I'm not exactly good at command blocks so I couldn't make this neat, but this is a rough idea of what the interface would look like:
    [​IMG][​IMG] [​IMG]

    And this is what the items represent:

    Enchanted Book and Quill: your journal entries; open these to edit and/or view your personal entries.
    Stick/Blaze Rod: Next and previous pages respectively.
    Green/Red Blocks: Create and delete journal entries respectively.
    Green/Red Dye: Put journal entries into your inventory or your journal; allows transfer of journal entries between characters via the bank.

    I was also thinking it would be possible to copy journal entries to have multiples of for all characters, maybe through a merchant that would transcribe your pages, for a fee of course. I'm not exactly sure how it would work, but maybe the cost corresponds to the amount of pages in your entry.

    And that's about all the ideas I got for this; I don't think it's too complex, buuuuut I'm probably wrong.

    Ice Bear actually would like this it would make the game a bit more immersive but is it worth taking an inventory slot?

    for quests, objectives and coordinates are written in that quest page itself

    just write ur notes in a .txt file. its easier to refer to by just clicking on that tab rather than clicking on the quest book in game (when theres lag)... and ingame books as limited modification like changing font, increasing font size

    if you want coordinates for ur secret locations or whatsoever maybe an idea would be to add waypoints on the map to tell you where to go incase looking at forums map is confusing

    The idea is to avoid something small that is just enough to break immersion; personally, I would feel much more involved in the world if I were able to jot down some information in my own quest book instead of opening another program, and tab out of Minecraft.
    ________________________________
    I'm aware that for most quest objectives coordinates are written down; I was thinking more about codes or puzzles if someone wants to figure out a secret on their own, rather than using the wiki or some other outside source.

    It is also possible to write down information in another program, but that would be slightly annoying to people who enjoy more immersion within their games, as tabbing out of Minecraft to look at the same text and trying to remember a puzzle code or certain location might get tedious.

    As for the maps, I personally use a mini-map (no enemy radar of course), but for others that enjoy that Wynncraft is completely mod free might not want to take the time to find a good map mod, especially if they prefer to play with no map at all.

    I'm sure not everyone would need this, it's just a QoL thing that other people might enjoy having in the game; it's not a necessity, it's just a small suggestion.

    Yeah, I definitely see the point in it, i mean i would use it for myself but I just feel like the majority of players wouldn't use the feature to make it worth it

    That breaks immersion.
    ________________________________
    It's not technically needed but it would be a really nice QoL update and increases immersion.
    The wynn team always has other priorities that's irrelevant feedback.

    This would be a great update.

    Oh man I forgot about the second page thing. I'm not entirely sure how to get past that; either make it a separate item or kind of put discoveries and the journal together somehow. And those examples are so much better than mine, they look amazing.
