This is the successor of StickyHelp.

It supports the &(0-9a-f)

Permissions Plugins
Works with any SuperPerms-compatible plugins. I recommend PermissionsEx.
Changing command
In case you want another plugin to have the /help command (or other commands), and have HelperBot have another command, you can to this:

I'm sorry. The project has been inactive since 2012.
Have a great day!
/n/ is not working. It shows up when I use the command on my server, but seems to still make a new line?
@Delocaz:
Hey Delocaz! Ich habe einen Wunsch:
Gibt es mal eine Funktion, die ermöglicht dass man den Befehl /help ändern kann?
MfG valistyle7
Can u add the code for bolt text: &l ?
Btw: This is the best help plugin ever! U can do everything with it
@Delocaz Is it possible to have the players on my server using this plugin and the staff using the essentials help plugin?
German: Ist es möglich, die Spieler auf meinem Server mit diesem Plugin und das Personal mit dem Plugin essentials Hilfe haben?
@Terranomia
Ganz sicher, sie sind bereits in.
(Courtesy of Google Translate, I don't speak German.)
Könnte man vllt. bei den Farben die Formate &l (Fett), &n (Unterstrichen), &m (Durchgestrichen), &k (Magic) und &o (Kursiv) hinzufügen? Würde mich freuen.
Incase anyone is wondering, the plugin still works amazingly.
@KyranOostra
This plugin can do that, if you make files named "pickaxe.txt" and put the text you want it to say in there. Same with sword.txt, hoe.txt, axe.txt and so on.
Is this plugin like players write "/help sword" or something, they will get some information? Like here, about a sword? Like this...
Player: (uses) /help pickaxe
Chat: Pickaxe: a pickaxe is a tool. Its used to mine ores and stone easily.
Like that? If it isnt, is there a plugin like that... or make one like this XD
@erisawesome
How does it not work? Get anything in the console? Or does nothing happen whatsoever? Are you sure your permissions are set up correctly?
@BlocklyCrafter
That is not possible. It's not possible to have the plugin not reserve /help but have it use /help <argument>. You can, however, use CommandHelper to redirect a /help with no arguments to whatever help command you want.
@Delocaz Can you please make it possible to use the default help-thing too? Because like I want, is when you're using /help, the default help comes up. And then when I create a new .txt file in the folder called ranks, you can use /help ranks too...
Please update it doesn't work for MC1.4.5-CB0.2
I have a big feature suggestion for this great plugin... I've been using this plugin for a long time now in combination with CommandHelper so that I could create aliases like /events = /help events, etc and it's been excellent. Though now that written books have been added I was wondering, would it be possible to display help text in a written book instead of in chat? Or does anyone know any plugin that can do this, without adding a book to the players inventory (as it can be traded with villagers or shop plugins, etc).
@OneTrueLegend
I'm not giving it up, there's just nothing to update. It works fine!
Don't give up on this plugin!!!!!!!!!!!!
@CannedDK
I want to do that too...maybe could copy and past the normal /help file into helperbot plugin file?
How do i make the Plugin show the real /help command also? If i type /help it show the default Help page, but i want it to when i type /help 1 - it show the normal commands list. ? how do i do that?
@aleksander64
Must have accidentally privatized them when i was cleaning out my channel, should be fixed now.
