CopyBooks
CopyBooks - Copy written books
CopyBooks was made out of a plugin request. It supports/will support saving books for later restroring, replacing text in a book, copy only pages into another book, unsigning books, unlimited access for a specific book from signs, selling/buying books, getting books based on the permissions group when you spawn. All is already done except the buying selling, copy pages and replacing. But it will be no big deal. This plugin is in pre-alpha and not tested. The source is available on github so feel free to push pull requests. At the moment I have to hook the net.minecraft code directly, because the api is not yet implementd in bukkit. This means it only runns on CraftBukkit.
Features:
- Save books
- Restore books
- Getting books when a player spawns
- Getting books through signs
- Setting up commands for books
- Selling/buying books
Upcoming features:
- Format pages like center
- Replace text in books
- Copy only specific pages
- Convert text files to books (maybe even word documents :P)
- Dispense books from dispensers :P
Installation
You have to compile it at the moment yourself because its in pre-alpha. But it's easy if you have some basic knowenledge about git and maven. First clone the repo with git clone [path] and do then mvn clean install. This depends on a working git and maven installation.
Configuration
It is almost self explaining. The 2 settings you can do atm in the config is the group based book spawn when a player joins and the command based books. A better explanation will follow here :P
Commands
- /cb copy- Copies the book you are holding
- /cb create [id] - Creates a book from an id
- /cb list - Lists all copied books

@MajorCyto
Sure the only problem is that im atm in italy and the internet is a mess and I can not test. Maybe my friend can help me test :P
Is this still being worked on i hope? I need the book on player spawn for the first time feature!
I have a small question... Will this plugin require Vault? Can you add an option to disable economic usage of the books? I got rid of any eceonomy plugins and I would like to not set them up again for my personal reason :(
Oh damn I hope it will not break again...
Boaah finally I have internet access again...
Man, I am so glad you are working on it. It is really neccesary. I follow your progress and wait for the release :) You are the best!
I am very interested in this plugin for our servers. Just letting you know so it keeps getting developed. :)
