    A plugin that when users spawn, they spawn with a book in their inventory detailing our rules or plugin descriptions. I would like a plugin that if a user needed an explanation on something, they could just type a command that would give them a book (with server defined text) detailing the plugin commands and how to use them or our server rules on them.

    You can thank codename_B for this one as well.
    (Speaking of which I improved a few things on the fork and added you to it.)
    Description:
    Give a book to all new players and those who have yet to receive it.
    Source:
    https://github.com/deathmarine/RuleBook
    Download:
    https://github.com/downloads/deathmarine/RuleBook/RuleBook.jar
    Config:
    Code:
    #Max Characters 16#
    Title: '&lRules!'
    Author: '&oAdministration'
    #Each Line is a page. Max Characters 256 Max pages 50#
    Pages:
    - '&bCongradulations on joining one of the most awesome servers in existence.'
    - '&3Upon Joining you should of received this book. That contains a load of rules and crap.'
    
    Permissions: None
    Everything is pretty much automatic. Just fill out the config. Trying to keep this simple.

    Edit: I know I didn't replace the section character for &. But they work.

    There was cake? Man I missed the party.

    Hey, um do the colors work cause when i tried with both signs § and & and a color code nothing would change and for some reason it skips pages or puts 2 pages in 1 like
    - rule 1 blablablabla
    - rule 2 lalalalala
    In Book
    rule 1 blablah
    blah-rule 2 lala
    lalala
    Or also i do
    - welcome please read here are rules rule 1 random
    - rule 2 more random
    - rule 3 even more random
    but in book the first page shows up and the 3rd does but the second disappears any ideas? And Sometimes books from other players are getting cleared i dont know why or if this is our plugin but it started today when i got this plugin. Thanks in advance

    lol... sometimes I fail at Yaml.

    Sorry better example config.
    Code:
    Title: '&lRules!'
    Author: '&oAdministration'
    Pages:
    - '&bCongradulations on joining one of the most awesome servers in existence.'
    - '&3Upon Joining you should of received this book. That contains a load of rules and crap.'
    
    Updated download link. Tested and found that the 50 page limit can be overriden with the bookApi. 129 pages ftw. Fixed issue with item in hand being overridden.

    BukkitDev Page coming soon.

    Hey now it stores players in the hasread but they still get books?

    I'm running it right now. And I'm trying to get it to give me another book. The plugin preforms two checks if they've played before and if there name is in that file. I haven't been able to reproduce this.
     
  26. You can use a starterkit plugin and you can write in books so make a book and make it so new players get it when they log in. :) Hope I helped you! :)
