    So, as we all know, there's going to be a "Book And Quill" item in 1.3.

    And a lot of servers have a /rules command to show the rules, or maybe a sign board.

    But those things are so 1.2.5! With this new item, could it be possible to give new players a pre-written book and quill that you could fill with a custom message (i.e. rules)?

    If it IS possible, would someone be willing to make it for me? Thanks! :D

    As soon as bukkit supports the functions I'll create such a plugin. (or a similar one)

    Umm... I don't understand. -_- Why can't you just write and publish the book yourself? What's the point of the plugin? ??

    It would give players a pre-written book on first join. It would take AGES to write a new book every time a new player joins.

    Well, I'm not sure how book data is saved, but I'm assuming it's the same/similar to maps. Why can't you just give a book with the same data on login? Maybe that's not possible...

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. You can give players a block ID in FirstJoinPlus, but I don't think that'd work with a pre-written book.

    Well, I know that maps are saved like so: map_x, where x is any number.

    I would assume books be saved the same way?

    Maybe. Would I be able to give a player a map_x?

    Yeah, you could use the item code 358:x (I believe that's the item code... That's from memory). The data would be the map number.

    you are allowed to give published books and I have seen a server use a map to write text on and use each map as the next page when they first join because the map like stated above is map_x so it could work. I think the server was legendary islands but im not sure but I will find out for sure and see if they will let me know if the plugin is available

    That might not be a plugin. It is possible to add maps externally, so they could create it and add it to the world folder.

    EDIT: On this note, does anyone know which directory maps are saved to?
