Port the Writing Desk as a modern NeoForge workstation before adding transcription behavior.
Acceptance criteria:
Register the Writing Desk block, item, block entity, menu, screen, loot, and recipes
Placement and breaking preserve or safely drop every stored Notebook, page, and ink item
The block entity persists inventory and active collection state across restart
The menu supports player inventory transfer without duplication or item loss
Multiple players and chunk unloads close or resynchronize the menu safely
The first implementation may use a single-block footprint while retaining the legacy desk presentation goals

Implemented in v0.3.5.0 and refined from the Legacy GUI screenshots in v0.3.5.1. The one-block Writing Desk has persistent collection/work slots, active-tab state, shift-click transfer, item drops on break, a menu guarded against removed/unloaded blocks, and a portrait-page surface with selected-page details. The block entity is shared among viewers, while menu slots/data synchronize through vanilla menu updates. All 30 required GameTests pass, including inventory persistence, drops, transfers, tab state, and invalidation after replacement. Manual in-game GUI review remains welcome; transcription is tracked separately.

Follow-up v0.3.5.2 implements the screenshot-driven Writing Desk copying flow: paper input at upper left, server-validated virtual copy output at lower left, persisted 16-use ink meter, automatic Ink Vial refill, and vanilla glass-bottle return. Inputs are consumed only when the copy is taken; 34 required GameTests pass. Release: https://gitea.tail180fb1.ts.net/dnorberg/rivencraft/releases/tag/v0.3.5.2
