# Books Without Borders

This is a rewrite of the Books Without Borders plugin. This rewrite originally used the source code given
at [the original bukkit page](https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/books-without-borders). While the old plugin still worked
the last time I checked, this plugin does not use any depreciated function calls, making sure it works for the
foreseeable 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
- Change generation of books. Create tattered books for your RPG server!
- Optionally, make it impossible to duplicate the original version of a book

#### Group encryption

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

### Commands:

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

- /bookswithoutborders - Displays information about commands (and permissions if the user has bookswithoutborders.admin)

  to encrypt the held book

- /deletepublicbook <file name or number> - Same as deletebook, but deletes files in the public directory
- encryptbook <key> \[encryption style] - Encrypts the book the player is holding. "key" is required and can be any
  phrase or number excluding spaces. "style" is not required. Possible values are "DNA" or ""

### Signs

This plugin supports several custom signs with special functionality. Each plugin sign must have \[BwB] on its first
line.

#### Give sign

The **_give_** sign must have **\[Give]** on its second line. The third and fourth line contains the book to be loaded.
This can either be a numerical id pointing to a publicly saved book, or the full text identifier of the book (book name,
author).

#### Encrypt sign

The **_encrypt_** sign must have **\[Encrypt]** on its second line. The third line must contain the encryption key The
fourth line can be empty or contain "dna" for dna-based encryption.

#### Decrypt sign

The **_decrypt_** sign must have **\[Decrypt]** on its second line. The third line must contain the decryption key
