for those who didn´t read my original idea, don´t even bother.
so here is the idea
you will have a new skill(other skills)-
Carthographywith this skill you can make maps
to make a map you need ink(made from oak balls) and a surface
you have 3 surfaces
-thin animal skin
-linen cloth
-vellum(crafted out of thin leather)
how much detailed the map is depends on carthographer´s skill(and minigame?)-materials are purely for good look and RP
if the map is good enough, you can make notes in it(very good map) and mark locations
when cartographer is making map he can choose to make-world map, or 1-49 map
world map is simplest and first map carthographer can make
other maps are more specific about location they show
carthographer can also craft optical devices(magnifying glass(map zoom),telescopes)
primary material for these devices is lens
but lenses can not be crafted in furnace, lenses have to be made out of rock crystal(obtained the same way as (semi)precious stones) and then shaped using sand(and finished with chalk)
and the thing that can´t be missing if we talk about maps is compass, but magnetite could make problems to developers, so to make it more simple- it can be rare drop from iron ore block
new items:
oak ball>dried oak balls>oak ball dust
ink(oak ball dust+cherry resin+water+chunk of iron+wine+honey)
vellum(crafted out of thin leather)
magnetite(rare drop from iron ore blocks)
rock crystal(rare drop from stones?)
chalk(if flux is used instead of lime stone, i think this could be replaced with it too)
lens(rock+sand>(rough) lens)
(rough lens +chalk>lens)
