I've made a fork with added writable paper. A single item of paper is craftable into an item of non-stackable writable paper. When you right-click twice on it in the inventory screen you can add multi-lined text to it. This text is saved with the item on the server. So you could write a message on it and leave it for another player in a sort of primitive mail system. Max length is set in constants.h as WRITABLE_TEXT_MAX_LENGTH (right now 200 characters).

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

I'm going to clean up the code a little and put some comments then I'll move it over. I'm also think of changing signs to save the text the same way. I'm also thinking about making a poster item that will display the text when you point at it. You could put up a bulletin board near spawn with server rules or announcements or even ASCII maps.
