Book and Quill Losing Formatting

Hello,

There is currently an issue impacting formatting within books when using a book and quill which causes formatting to be lost.

Steps to recreate the issue:

  1. Open a Book and Quill and enter whatever formatting you want (e.g. §l, §r, §4, §o, and enter key) on a page:

  1. Go 20~ pages away and write anything:

  1. Close the book

  2. Reopen book and the text has lost it's formatting (would have expected the formatting to stay)

This issue is not consistent, so sometimes doesn’t work when repeating the steps above.

However, it does happen frequently and as someone who loves to use books to add lore to my world, this issue has made me stop using this feature.

Link to a reddit video of someone else demoing the same issue (not me): https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftBedrockers/comments/1pj9uu4/book_and_quill_formatting_glitch/

Anyway would love to see this issue get fixed and just want to let you know we appreciate all the hard work you guys put into this game! 😁

Happy new years,

Thomas
