# 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.\ permission to decrypt the encrypted book without using a password. ### Commands: An in-game description of available commands is available through the /bwb command. | Command | Arguments | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | /bookswithoutborders | None | Displays information about commands (and permissions if the user has bookswithoutborders.admin) | | /copybook | \<# of copies> | Copies the book the player is holding | | /decryptbook | \ | Decrypts the book the player is holding.
