This one is, as you can find the Book and Quill in the creative menu and even craft them, put content in them and sign them turning them into written_books(s), but you cant put NBT tags inside the game without commands or mods of course which is a pretty big problem if I want to embed ClickEvents and such inside it

And also trying to type in the id for written_book as shown in the World Editor program screenshot wont work either, even though i had already given myself a writable_book and then signed it and turned it into a written_book 

As this is a pretty major item for servers and map makers in which you can easily tell the player information without having a text limit as you do with signs and nametags it doesnt really make alot of sense that it is not implemented into the commands. And anyways, knowing how minecraft works if you mod it and you add your own custom item, doesnt it automatically allow you obtain the item through commands anyway? Like there wasnt a good reason to be able to give yourselves a "portal" or "nether_portal" block was there? After all, they dont even function correctly if you update them after placing them, they disappear.

i just used /give XxXJGxXxJoelxXx written_book

And of course the id wont work, because number id's were removed from the give command ages ago.

This exact command will work in a java edition though.

Naturally this makes vanilla servers and map makers have hard times sometimes if trying to give every new user a written_book with rules or etc.

Or like me who happens to be making a paint program that you click the pixels in the book and they turn black. Naturally, theres no way for me to get the book because I can not give it to myself with those NBT tags that store the page data and click events

This is not a bug, it is a request. Someone  please change it
