Introduction

With this plugin you can send other players items,texts, and money with a physical mailbox.

Every player has an default mailbox which can be accessed by left clicking a mailbox sign. Also a mailbox can be created from a chest to add additional space in a players inbox.

Items can be sent either through right clicking with an item or by right clicking a mailbox sign.

Texts which are sent through a command get converted to a physical letter and get placed inside the recipients mailbox.

Money may be sent through the ItemMail GUI by right clicking a mailbox or letterpaper. Inside the ItemMail GUI, there is now a gold Bar item that appears if Sending money is enabled in the config. You may left click to increase the amount and right click to decrease the amount. When you are done, click send and your money will be converted into a "Bank Note" item(a piece of paper) and be sent to the recipient! The recipient may then hold this Bank Note in their hand and right click it to deposit the money into their account.

How to use

Item Mailing

To get started with the item mailing you need to create a mailbox sign or craft some letterpaper to send a itemletter.

You can create the sign by placing a sign and putting "[Mailbox]" in the second line, letter paper can be created by placing paper, a feather and an ink sac into the crafting grid in any shape.

When right-clicking, either the mailbox sign or with the letter paper, the mail window opens.

To define the recipient of the mail add a written book in the top-left slot of the window and add the other items you want to send.

When clicking the send button (the green wool on the right side) your mail will be sent.

Text Mailing

To send a text mail simply enter the command

/papermail sendtext

followed by the recipient and your message.

Depends

1.0.0.7 and above softdepends on vault if you want to use the MailCosts or Send Money options with an economy plugin. If no economy is detected but MailCosts is still on, Papermail will default to a Gold Ingot barter system.

To do

1. Add permissions .exempt for costs
2. Add ability to send money
3. Fix Items losing their NBTTag data when mailing items. (This plugin causes some special items created by other plugins such as the EpicItems from EpicBoss Gold Edition to lose their special tag abilities when mailed through the ItemMail system.
4. Make barter item configurable instead of permanently set as GOLD_INGOT.
5. Create the ability to read from a language,yml to support multiple languages
6. Fix PaperMail mailing the signed book item also. Create a letterpaper dispenser sign that charges GOLD_INGOTS or money for letterpaper.
7. Change the Recipient Interface to SignGUI if possible
8. Hook into GlobalMarket so you will only need one mailbox
9. Create some kind of new mail notification system
10. Make it that it doesn't take a command to create a chestbox (Chest on a fencepost)
11. Create a command and permission to send money with command. Possible protocolib dependency for this as well? (Use sign GUI to get amount)

ATTENTION!!!

I REALLY NEED BUG TESTERS! IF INTERESTED PLEASE PM ME!I I WILL GIVE YOU CREDIT ON THE PLUGIN PAGE AND PLUGIN ITSELF FOR YOUR HELP! (This plugin is provided donation free. It takes a lot of time to code a plugin and testing for all possible scenarios is not easy for me :/ To Eliminate time with releasing stable copies of updated PaperMail versions with new features, bug testing helps alot, plus you/your server will have access to early releases of the plugin before they are hosted on bukkit.)
