Notices
The plugin has been COMPLETELY recoded in WelcomeBookRecoded v1.0. Pretty much EVERYTHING has changed, so make sure to understand the new plugin.
If you are using a plugin such as AuthMe you must make sure that if that plugin has an inventory protect feature you must disable it. In AuthMe it's the setting ProtectInventoryBeforeLogin in the config.

Thank you so much XOXOXOX

That's already in Vanilla Minecraft, and this plugin does support saving books with colours. Instead of the & character you use the section sign, ยง.
Can you add colors to the books?
Back from holidays!
WelcomeBook v3.7 has been uploaded with a ton of new features and should be approved soon!
@YoFuzzy3
Never-mind, that is an issue with Spoutcraft.
I'm loving WelcomeBook btw, and our new players are as well. Thank you.
Also, for people needing an alias command to give rule books and such, there are a few plugins like that. I am partial to SudoAlias. I also use CommandSigns to give books out.
@lANTHONYl
Not sure what you mean. It's meant to be just like Vanilla, having the book's name as the display namd and author in the lore.
When hovering over a book in inventory, is the title supposed to popup in an info bubble? All we see is "Written Book"
@VodkaDK2
I'll do some testing and see if a reload command causes any trouble. I'll never be changing the way this plugin saves its data.
I too would enjoy a reload command but obviously only if it is reliable.
Also may I suggest a way to store books in their own files instead of in the main config file and then serving the book from file directly when requested by a user? That would be better I think.
@ryan_the_leach
Adding a reload command is easy, although it seems to sometimes wipe configs.
Is it possible to add a reload command so that you can make changes to the config, then reload the book list?
@Chalkie19
You're welcome, and thank you for the donation. :)
@VodkaDK2
You're welcome.
I just wanted to say that this plugin is fantastic. Great job on it and it's a wonderful idea too. It has really helped add an extra touch to my servers.
@YoFuzzy3
That's not good enough, I demand features implemented now!, like right this second and if you don't I wont use this plugin11!!11.
No but seriously thank you, I appreciate that you are taking your time to listen then implement the suggestion/request.
@Chalkie19
I'll implement it, although maybe next week. Quite busy with other things at the moment.
@ryan_the_leach
I appreciate the advice and I am aware of command helper. But why use 2 plugins if its feasible to do it in the one plugin? That is why I requested it.
@YoFuzzy3
Thank you, what you suggested would be more then enough, At the moment standardbooks does not allow giving of multiple books with the /help command. This means all the commands have to be crammed into the one book. It would be much cleaner to do /help and receive a book for each type of command, eg: General commands, Faction Commands, VIP Commands.
Not to mention that standardbooks has no cooldown on the commands. So I often see new people spam the command and become book suicide bombers in the PVP arena. Funny at first, not a week + later :)
If you decide to implement it may I suggest using alias for the commands. Example /help, /info, /? would all give the 1 set of book(s).
@Chalkie19
use commandhelper, you can set up all sorts of scripts and macros to fill in the gaps between what you want and what plugins do.
it could EASILY give out books for /rules etc when combined with this plugin.
@Chalkie19
Well, I could add it I guess. Unfortunately I can't have variable commands but I could add some default ones like /Rules and /Help which search the config for books with those names.
@YoFuzzy3
Ahh, I was hoping it wasn't that way. I saw "join the server or with a command" I was like, damn this sounds like everything I wanted out of standardbooks plugin. :)
@Chalkie19
No, the command to get a specific book is /Book get <BookName> or /GetBooks (/GB alias) to get all of the available books. Read the plugin description again. ;)
