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. 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!
