# 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.

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 ### Configuration options: - Save_Books_in_Yaml_Format - Whether to use YAML for saved books instead of just storing them as text - Max_Number_of_Duplicates - The maximum number of duplicates of a saved book allowed - Author_Separator - The separator used to separate the book title and the book author - Lore_line_separator - The separator used to denote a new line in the book/item lore - Books_for_new_players - A list of books given to new players the first time they join the server - Message_for_new_players - An optional message displayed to new players the first time they join the server - Price_to_create_book.Item_type - The item type used as currency for copying books.
