StandardBooks
StandardBooks
With this Plugin you can hand out a written book on first join (maybe containing the rules) or get other saved books (maybe with admin commands) via command.
Check out the Converter tool for textfiles created by Marcsello ConverterPage
Features
requires Java7
- save books ingame. for this you must hold the book
- books can contain the &0,&1... color codes
- books can contain "§" formatting
- define the book given on first join or turn feature off
- per book permission so your Builders can't get the admin Commandbook
- give a book to an other player
- can override /help and /rules so a defined book is inserted instead (needs sb.help or sb.rules permission)
- hand out a book at first join (delay possible)
Commands
- /sbs save [bookname] | saves the written book in hand with given name
- /sbs list | lists all saved books
- /sbs give [bookname] | gives you the book with the entered name
- /sbs give [bookname] [playername] | gives the book to the player
Permissions
- sb.list | allows to get a list of all saved books
- sb.save | allows to save a new book
- sb.give.bookname | allows to insert the book with the given bookname
- sb.give.other | allows to give a book to an other player

Nothing to be sorry about I appreciate getting good new ideas no matter if in comment sections or in a PM.
I think that wouldn't be a problem doing it.

Posted Oct 4, 2012Hey there! This plugin is exactly what I needed!
Tho a small idea:
I would love to have a command like: /starter
or something that gives you the starter book again, people keep losing theirs :)
(Also I'm sorry if you don't want these in your comment section!)

That would really be helpful, as I am planning on using this as a why to automagically give books out (with rules and information). :)

Posted Oct 1, 2012Is there a way to make the command for players /book <bookname> ? It'll be a lot easier to remember.

Posted Oct 1, 2012Would it be possible so that the "/sbs give [bookname] [playername]" could also be executed through console? Right now, it doesn't let me (and I don't really understand why :P )
Otherwise, this plugin is Great!

On my server people, join in adventure mode, but for some reason the book is given to them before they get in adventure mode so ya
