CraftBook
CraftBook is a heavily customizable plugin that adds a number of new mechanics to Minecraft with no client mods required. As one of Minecraft's oldest mods/plugins, we were the first to bring you Minecraft computers, Redstone ICs, moving bridges, and more! Here's a short list:
- Modular, and extremely light on your server.
- Enable features that you need, disable ones that you don't. Even tweak features to your liking.
- Adds heaps of mechanics that allow you to mimic large portions of FTB/Tekkit with a vanilla client.
- Redstone ICs (Logic gates, Sensors, Many others)
- Elevators for your server so people can jump between floors quickly. (Or smoothly, if you choose so)
- Working cauldrons so players can cook inside them.
- Your own custom crafting recipes.
- Hidden switches for players.
- Togglable areas and bridges.
- Chairs you can sit on.
- Working pipes that can transfer items from place to place.
- Footprints where your players walk.
- Mobs and players drop their heads.
- The ability to bind commands to items, with cool-downs, permissions and timers.
- And much more... (Seriously, check the docs)
If you find any issues with the docs, please report them here.
Want to script plugins without knowing Java? Consider CommandHelper. Want to add /homes /warps /tp /bring, etc.? Try CommandBook.
Getting Started
| Installation |
|---|
Bukkit is currently required.
- Install WorldEdit first. (DON'T FORGET THIS)
- Install any other plugins required for specific features you want.
- Download CraftBook and copy the .jar into plugins/.
- Run your server once to generate the files.
- Edit plugins/CraftBook/config.yml to your liking, and enable anything you want to use.
Note: For optimal performance, only enable what you need. If you are running a version prior to 3.8.1, check the config to see if any features are enabled that you don't want. - Restart the server for the settings to take effect.
You'll have to read the wiki (see below) to find the permissions you need.

Posted Jan 22, 2020Would it be feasible to change the cancel-action feature so that when it’s set to false, the command item isn’t consumed when right-clicking a tile entity provided it’s a consumable item with a right-click action?
I don’t see the point of cancel-action if it still consumes the item.

Posted Jan 22, 2020Could you please add a way to send a chat message when a command item is used? That’d be fantastic!

CommandItems use commands, if you want to send a message, use the command that sends a message

What command are you referring to? /tellraw?
It would be nice if you could put a tilde at the beginning of the command and turn it into just a raw text output in the chat like you can with some other plugins such as Command Signs.

Posted Jan 22, 2020I found a bug where if you have items in your inventory other than the command item you’re adding and you add a command item, and then you choose “true” on whether it should be consumed on use, it adds all the items in your inventory to the consumed-items list.
Versions:
Minecraft: 1.15.1
PaperMC: #62
CraftBook: 3.10.1

That’s not a bug, it’s intended behaviour. It adds them as consumables, it’s meant to be for if you want a “fuel” for a command item

I understand that, but why isn’t it one of the options that you choose in the chat when creating a command item? You always have to be creating a command item with an empty inventory because of this, which, granted, isn’t that big of a deal, but still.

Posted Jan 19, 2020Could you please add a config option to disable the “This is the dismembered head of _____” message that appears when right-clicking heads or at least add a permission required to see that message?
I use heads for decorations, and this message says that they’re all the heads of “null,” so I’d like to disable this message.

You can probably add null to the list of ignored heads in the config - but yeah I’ll add that option

Sadly, that did not work. I’ll wait for the option to be added. Thank you!

If I recall correctly, heads that aren't setup correctly (and do not have a name) are basically invisible to the Spigot API. Which could explain why that is the case.

I just checked, the option already exists. It's "show-name-right-click"

Posted Jan 18, 2020This is easily one of my favourite plugins of all time! The sheer amount of features in CraftBook is off the charts.
I did come across one small problem, though: the footprints feature doesn’t seem to be working. I moved “Footprints” from disabled-mechanics to enabled-mechanics and reloaded CraftBook, but I don’t see any footprints on dirt, snow, sand, or any other block. I checked mechanics.yml, and those blocks are, indeed, listed under “Footprints.”
I’m using version 3.10.1 of CraftBook on a 1.15.1 PaperMC (build #57) server.
Another small thing: On the wiki, the permission listed for the better plants feature is “fern-farming.” Shouldn’t it be “craftbook.fern-farming”?

The Footprints don't work due to a Minecraft bug since 1.14
As for fern-farming, almost definitely yes

You've broken your configuration file by writing invalid YAML. Try using an online YAML formatter to fix it.

Posted Sep 2, 2019The Snow mechanic (realistic) is not very optimized. It used to work just fine and now it lags the entire server to the point i was kicked for "time out".

It's as optimised as it can be with Spigot. Spigot has gotten ridiculously slow for various actions in recent years. Paper is significantly better but still not really that great.
It works fine on Sponge, but Sponge doesn't exist for 1.14.4 yet.
