Table of Contents

For 1.13+ use this link here.

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 wiki)

The CraftBook wiki is currently being revamped! Progress can be viewed here! If you find any issues with the wiki (Especially in pages marked 100% of missing), 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.

Please do `/cb report -p` and provide me with the link it gives.

What IC are you trying to use? And what happens when you make it? Can you please provide a screenshot of it?

**Troubleshooting via discord chat with author Me4502**

Hey everyone, I was trying to set up Dispenser Recipes, but so far wasn't having any luck in my permission nodes - now I haven't been able to test it myself on the server, just what was reported to me through my discord when i had a user test it after assigning the nodes found in the wiki.

Any ideas on this? he said they acted like normal dispensers with random items being thrown out.

In reply to Celadrieldor:

To recap solution from Discord,

Spigot introduced a bug in 1.12 that prevents it working when there’s only 1 of the items in the dispenser (it tells plugins what items were in the dispenser after shooting it out rather than before now), so you need 2 of each item for it to work now. I’m trying to push for it to be fixed.

I just wrote a bug report here, and in the process of investigating that bug, I came across another.

Ttitle:

/recp save command does not save NBT data (enchantments, lore etc) of items

To avoid taking up the entire comment page I am putting in a spoiler:

/recp save command does not save enchantments or potion data of items

Summary

When a recipe is saved using the command /recp save in game, using an item with enchantments, or potion effects.

What I did

I put these items in this layout in my inventory:

and then ran /recp save test1 shapeless

Expected behaviour

The following should have been saved in crafting-recipes.yml:

test1: type: Shapeless ingredients: 'FLINT ': 1 'POTION:INCREASE_DAMAGE;3600;1 ': 1 results: 'GLASS_BOTTLE ': 1

(I think I've understood the potion item syntax correctly)

As a result, a flint and only a strength potion should yield an empty bottle.

A flint and any other potion should not yield anything.

Actual behaviour

The following was saved in crafting-recipes.yml:

test1: type: Shapeless ingredients: 'FLINT ': 1 'POTION ': 1 results: 'GLASS_BOTTLE ': 1

As a result, a flint and any potion yields an empty bottle.

Notes

This behaviour also occurs when using a furnace or shaped recipe.

This behaviour occurs when set as the output item(s).

This behaviour occurs regardless of any other items used in the recipe.

This behaviour occurs with enchanted books and potions.

This behaviour does not occur with enchanted tools or items with custom names or lore.

Environment

(This seems to happen regardless of other plugins or CraftBook configuration, so I am posting the minimum relevant information):

CraftBook 3.9u21

WorldEdit 6.1.7.3

Spigot 1.12.2 with Java 1.8.0_151 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Plugins: WorldEdit, CraftBook

Enabled Mechanics of CraftBook: Variables, Custom Crafting

Thanks, retnikt.

This issue is a bit weirder, I’ll have a look at it as well as it should be working. Some NBT data can’t be saved, like attributes, as Spigot doesn’t provide it to the plugin, but damage values should definitely be saved so I’ll have a look when I get a chance.

Hi. I would like to make a bug report, but the YouTrack website's license* has expired and the GitHub repository has issues disabled, so I am posting it here.

Title:

/recp save command does not save quantity of non-stackable items in shapeless or furnace recipes

To avoid taking up the entire comment page I am putting in a spoiler:

/recp save command does not save quantity of non-stackable items in shapeless or furnace recipes

Summary

When a recipe is saved using the command /recp save in game, using more than one of the same non-stackable item in a shapeless recipe causes it to save as having only one item, so the recipe works with only one of these items.

What I did

I put these items in this layout in my inventory:

then ran the command /recp save test1 shapeless

There were no errors in the console, and no client-side error message.

Expected Behaviour

The following should have been saved in crafting-recipes.yml:

crafting-recipes: test1: type: Shapeless ingredients: 'CAKE ': <strong>2</strong> results: 'GOLDEN_APPLE ': 1

As such, putting two cake in the crafting grid (in any place) should yield a Golden Apple.

Putting one or more than three cakes in the crafting grid (in any place) should not yield anything.

Actual Behaviour

The following was saved in crafting-recipes.yml:

crafting-recipes: test1: type: Shapeless ingredients: 'CAKE ': 1 results: 'GOLDEN_APPLE ': 1

As such, putting one cake in the crafting grid (in any place) yields a Golden Apple.

Putting two or more cakes in the crafting grid (in any place) does not yield anything.

Notes

This behaviour also occurs when using a furnace recipe, even though it is not possible to put multiple non-stackable (e.g. Cake) items in a furnace.

This behaviour occurs regardless of the output items.

This behaviour occurs regardless of any other items used in the recipe.

This behaviour occurs if multiple of different non-stackable items are used (e.g. 2 cakes and 2 beetroot soups) (you have to only use one of each to get the desired output)

This behaviour does not occur when using a shaped recipe.

This behaviour does not occur when using different non-stackable items.

This behaviour does not occur when using stackable items.

Environment

(This seems to happen regardless of other plugins or CraftBook configuration, so I am posting the minimum relevant information):

CraftBook 3.9u21

WorldEdit 6.1.7.3

Spigot 1.12.2 with Java 1.8.0_151 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Plugins: WorldEdit, CraftBook

Enabled Mechanics of CraftBook: Variables, Custom Crafting

Thanks, retnikt.

* PS: get a new YouTrack license for https://dev.enginehub.org/youtrack/oauth (linked on wiki as http://redmine.sk89q.com/projects/craftbook but it redirects)

Hey, firstly with the license - Jetbrains is being /really/ slow to respond, we’ve been putting requests in for a few weeks.

I’ll have a look at that. May require a bit of a workaround, as presumably Spigot has changed the api to prevent setting amounts on stacks that aren’t possible in the vanilla game.

Ill probably have some time this afternoon or tomorrow.

What's the full error? If it failed to load chairs, in most cases it's because you don't have ProtocolLib installed.

In reply to i_thefenix_i:

Are you using something like Multicraft? Or another panel? They quite often hide errors. Are you able to check if there's anything extra in the server logs? That message should never occur without an associated error, as that appears when an error occurs.
