Fun Informational Mechanics Role Playing

BookSuite was originally designed to offer players vanilla-style mechanics to make up for the lack of book-related features. The focus has since shifted towards command-based book alterations.

Functions

Right click a "printing press" with a written book to copy!
A printing press is a crafting table with inverted stairs above it.
For easy press creation, sneak and place stairs on top of a crafting bench!
Original: PrintingPress - The dev went inactive and didn't supply his source. Rewrote from scratch for 1.4.6.
Default:
Ops: Do not need supplies.
Players: Copy anyone's book, uses supplies. (Supplies are ink and a normal book)
Cauldron as "eraser" block
Default: Everyone can unsign own books at cost of water, ops can unsign anyone's books for free
Usage: Right click cauldron with written book
Aliases
Automatically sign books with your display name! Supports team prefix and suffixes as well.
Can be disabled in the config (enable-aliases: false)
Colored title and author
related permission for &codes in normally signed books' titles: booksuite.sign.color
/book
Default: everyone
Aliases: booksuite, bsuite, bs
Help will display based on permissions - if a user does not have permission to use a command, it will not run or appear, and the help will be displayed instead of a denial of permission message.
