ownBook is a simple yet powerful Bukkit plugin for Minecraft servers that allows for the creation, management, and distribution of custom in-game books. Administrators can write books, save them to a central configuration file, and then distribute them to players. The plugin also supports updating books that players already have in their inventories, ensuring everyone has the latest version.

Features

Save Custom Books: Save the contents of a Book and Quill to a books.yml file.
Distribute Books: Give players a copy of any saved book using a simple command.
Editable Copies: Get a writable version of a saved book to easily make edits.
Update In-Inventory Books: Players can update their copies of a book to the latest saved version.
Player-Specific Commands: Give books to yourself or other online players.
Tab Completion: Commands support tab completion for book titles and player names to speed up usage.

Installation

Download the latest .jar file.
Place the ownBook.jar file into the /plugins directory of your Bukkit/Spigot/Paper server.
Restart or reload your server. The plugin will create a plugins/ownBOOK/ directory.

Usage Workflow

Create your book: Get a Book and Quill (WRITABLE_BOOK) in-game and write the content you want.
Save the book: While holding the Book and Quill, use the command: /ownBook saveBookInHand <Author> <Title>
- Replace <Author> with the author's name.
- Replace <Title> with the book's title. Spaces are allowed.
- This saves the book to plugins/ownBOOK/books.yml.
Distribute the book: To give a finalized copy (WRITTEN_BOOK) to a player, use: /ownBook create <Title> [PlayerName]
- If [PlayerName] is omitted, the book will be given to you.
Edit an existing book: a. Get an editable version: /ownBook getWritableBook <Title> b. Make your changes in-game. c. Save the book again using the same command as in step 2. This will overwrite the previous version in the configuration file.
Update books: To update a book that a player already has, they can run: /ownBook update <Title>
- This will find all books with the matching title in their inventory and update their content to the latest saved version.
