Letter

I have a pen, I have paper. Uh, Paper— wait a second.

Right-click with pen or quill while holding paper on the other hand and turn your pal to your, well, penpal! Tie it with a string (right-click) and have a Pigeon deliver it.

Pen

The mighty writing tool. Holds a decent amount of ink. Right-click while holding a Bottle of Ink to fill it.

Beware, writing with ink is permanent!

The modern ballpoint pen was invented by László Bíró in 1938 and became commercially available in 1943. Prior to that, fountain pen was the goto choice for day-to-day writing.

Quill

Cheaper than pen. Right-click a Feather while holding a Bottle of Ink to turn it into a Quill.

Beware, writing with ink is permanent!

Ink Bottle

Comes in 16 colors! Right-click a Bottle of Water while holding 2 dyes of the same color to turn it into a Bottle of Ink.

Pigeon

The Postmaster of the sky. Right-click while holding a sealed Letter (or other deliverable items) to bring up the target selection screen. All online players in the same dimension are valid targets, regardless of range!

Homing pigeons are selectively bred for its ability to fly home over long distances! Messages were tied around the legs of the pigeon, who would then fly back to its original nest. Homing pigeons were employed all around the world well into the 21st century, though their use has largely diminished with the expansion of the internet.

Pigeons are friendly, but they're not tamable. Be sure to capture a few!

Receiving a pigeon delivery? Right-click the pigeon to retrieve your item.

Pigeons will patiently wait by their target until dismissed or assigned a return delivery job. Right-click with an empty hand or a deliverable item to send them back. Similar to receiving a delivery, right-click the pigeon to retrieve the item, if they carried one, and dismiss them from the return delivery.

Many carrier pigeons only carried messages one way, requiring manual transportation before they could complete another flight. However, some were trained by placing their food at stop, away from their nest (the other stop). These pigeons were able to cover round-trip flights up to 100 mi (160 km) twice a day!

Pigeon Meat

Just as edible as chicken (when cooked), and just as dangerous as chicken (raw). Hopefully, this one wasn't carrying your letter.

Many domestic pigeons are selectively bred and farmed for their meat. In fact, there are many commercial operations producing pigeon meat.

Name Tag

While holding a Pen or Quill, right-click a Name Tag to name it.
