Suggestion Dated Books

[KettleMoth]

Hello!

I recently returned to Loka after a hiatus of several years and one of the things that has brought me a lot of joy is the old books I've had in my ender chest since around 2015. It's really enjoyable to see and read dusty old tomes written by old Lokans from back in my youth!

My only regret is that there is no way to see exactly when the books were written. Admittedly I have no idea how feasible this is, but, thought it would be a great way to help chronicle Loka's history if there was some text when looking at a book in your inventory that tells you what date it was created, similar to how it tells you who the author was?

This is a cool idea and something we could for sure do. Unfortunately though there is no way we could retroactively pull this off; books don't inherently store any data about their creation time

Ahh I did wonder if that would be the case! A shame for the old books but would be a neat thing to see implemented for new books so we can look back on them fondly in a couple years or so!

Idk it wouldn’t look too good on the book but maybe if you did a command to see the date it’d be good

Could appear under the same context as 'Signed by' if it is clunky
