EasyBookGuides 📚

Developed by chroma The ultimate seamless virtual guide solution for modern Minecraft networks.

Tired of clunky configurations, broken timing macros, or plugins that force ugly physical books into your players' inventories? EasyBookGuides is a lightweight, high-performance Paper plugin built explicitly for modern Minecraft versions (including 1.21.11).

It lets you create completely custom commands (like /guide, /rules, or /discordbook) that instantly open beautiful virtual book screens for players. Because it utilizes native packet-level data streams, it operates with zero inventory interference - it will never drop an item, overwrite a player's hand, or clutter hotbars.

✨ Features

In-Game Creation & Editing: Write, design, and update your guides directly in-game using vanilla Books & Quills. No formatting headaches or messy configuration files.

Instant Client Autofill Syncing: Linked shortcut commands are injected natively into the server's command map. They light up green/white and autocomplete in the chat bar instantly without requiring server reboots or player relogs.

Separation of Data: Clean, organized database management. Pages and layouts live in books.yml, while active shortcut bindings live in activecommands.yml.

Zero Inventory Footprint: Uses native Adventure component packet execution to open interfaces out of thin air. Completely safe from duplication glitches, armor-slot overwrites, or item loss.
