Added a bit of logic to check and see if the drop is an enchanted book, and if it is, force at least one enchantment to be applied. As a warning, I'm not a programmer, so I could have incorrectly used the continue statement here. This requires more experienced eyes and some testing, I'm sure.
Due to flaws the previous changes to the configuration system combined with some bad lines in the experience.config that I mistakenly recommended, herbalism was not granting experience in most cases, as it was marking newly planted crops and such as player placed no exp granting blocks, rather than ignoring them as it should.
block types now are evaluated in 3 steps:
1: Explicit Name i.e. ("Crops|4", "Crops|0"), Which is the material name then data value
2: "friendly name" i.e. ("Crops_Ripe", "Crops_Ungrown"), Which is a typically data valueless name, some of which I make up in mcMMO, but most of which are just the Material name
3: Wildcard name i.e. ("Crops|*") Which is any block with that block value, regardless of data value
In order to be sure herbalism grants exp for you once again, make sure your configuration for herbalism looks similar to this:
https://github.com/mcMMO-Dev/mcMMO/blob/master/src/main/resources/experience.yml#L151
In terms of which blocks are listed there. Specifically, there should be no blocks marked "ungrown"
The child permission has the value set to false. From http://bukkit.gamepedia.com/Plugin_YAML: "a child node of false inherits the inverse parent permission". Having the value set to false grants the permission to reset other players' skills to everyone that doesn't have the mcmmo.skillreset permission, which by default nobody has.
