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. 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!

- 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.
