I Own a server called MCDrugs (play.mc-drugs.com) and I wanted to know how to give written books in essentials kits or any other way to give a player a written book when they join for the first time.

I think there is a plugin, im guessing this is for a rules, correct?

Here is the plugin - Bookrules - http://dev.bukkit.or...mods/bookrules/

I think this should help you. I will look around and see if you can do it in a Kit.

Thanks, I'm looking into that plugin right now.

It is not possible to give a written book in Essentials kits.

Actually, in the new essentials plugin, you can add books in the book.txt file and add them in kits.

Yeah, Essentials allows you to include books. The book.txt file doesn't generate until you use the following command:

/i writtenbook 1 title:&4Book_&9o_&6Colors author:KHobbits lore:Ingame_color_codes book:Colors

or, if you want just the bare essentials...

/i writtenbook 1 book:Colors

Then it will generate book.txt with the "Book o Colors" included. You can then customize book.txt to your heart's content.

Read CraftThatBlock's Thing! It Helps

You can make a book.txt in your Essentials folder. In their, you can "make" book. Ex: (in the file)

#book1
Hello! &9blue!
This is a book!
I like book!
#book2
Craft
That
Block
Is
Epic
#thisiscool
LOLOLOL
LOLOLOL
LOLOLOL

In the essential kit config thingy, give the Writen Book, (the ID), but add book:book1 for book1. Or book:thisiscool for book thisiscool. you can set the author using author:CraftThatBlock
For space, replace them by _ 's

@CraftThatBlock Thank you so much! For You!

How do you get a line break? I tried just hitting enter, I tried spaces, I tried &0 and &1 and then I tried &0 with space after it (which broke it). Running out of ideas.

I was wondering the same thing
As well I was wondering how you make a book with multiple pages

In my opinion this is like an hidden easteregg

I used &0 and it worked fine, must of been problem with essentials when you tried it. below is a sample book:
