# Books Without Borders

This is an attempt at a rewrite of the Books Without Borders plugin. This rewrite uses the source code given
at [the original bukkit page](https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/books-without-borders). I'm not planning any new features
at this time. The only goal is to make it 1.17.1 compliant, but I'll make the code more maintainable along the way.
While the original version still works, it's using a lot of depreciated function calls which will most likely break in
the future.

## Books without Borders!

Ever wanted to export your book to a text file? Ever want to import it back in? Accidentally sign it too soon? If so,
Books without Borders has got your back!

### Features

* Export written books and book and quills to .txt or .yml files
* Import books from files as written books or unsigned books
* Text files can be any length, and the import process fits the content to the correct page length
* Books can be saved privately, or to a directory visible server wide
* Encrypt books to prevent other players from reading them
* Give, encrypt, or decrypt held books with signs
* Give players books via command blocks
* Unsign or copy held books with a simple command
* Give first time players a single book or a set of books when they join
* Configurable option to require certain items or pay via Vault compatible economy to create books via command
* Add lore to any item with a simple command
* Supports adding and saving color to title, lore, and book contents
* Color and formatting codes can be manually turned into formatting using /formatbook
* Formatting and color codes can be turned into formatting once any book is signed. This is enabled through a config
  value

#### Group encryption

* Group encryption allows every player with the bookswithoutborders.decrypt.\<group> permission to decrypt the encrypted
  book without using a password.

An in-game description of available commands is available through the /bwb command.

  to encrypt the held book
