CopyBook is a simple, clean plugin for copying, saving, and loading books. If you ever get tired of copying books by hand, this plugin is for you. If you need a simple way to distribute books, this plugin is also useful.

Features

• Save books to individual files, each with a customizable extension (.book by default)
  
• Load books from the individual files to your inventory.
  
• Copy books from your hand into your inventory.
  
• Give another player a book from your hand into their inventory.
  
• Console can give books to players, useful for command blocks and such.
  
• Players can copy books into chests that they are looking at.
  
• Players can now edit books that are saved in a file
  
• Players can now modify books in their hand
  
• Vault Support to put prices on CopyBook commands as well as signs
  
• Sign support (video tutorial coming) - Players can create signs to distribute books, with or without a price.
  
• Update Notification on server startup if there is a new version available.
  

Configuration

• Configurable file extension for book files (.book by default)
  
• Configuration to enable or disable Vault
  
• Configure whether players have to have a book&quill in their hand in order to edit books, load books, or get them from signs.
  
• Configure whether pricing is enabled, what the default price is, whether people with the copybook.bypass command can bypass the price, and which commands are exempt from pricing.

To-Do List

Currently, the plugin works fine; however, these are some of the things I am going to do in the next updates.

• - Add update notification
  
• - Create sign tutorial
  
• - Cleanup code to make plugin more efficient
  
• - Revise file saving and loading to use YAML instead of Java File IO
  
• - Fix replaceable tags
  
• - Any more suggestions

Updates

Copybook v3.0 is in the works! It should be out in a week or so. Because of the change in how book information is stored, none of the old saved books will work. However, I have created a simple, one-use plugin that will convert the old files into the new YML format. You can get the plugin .jar here: http://github.com/acburdine/texttoyaml/
