I made this mod to help with things that were not included with the new book and quill. Its a little annoying how we couldnt copy books like we can copy maps. I also wished there was a way to pick font color and style without having to copy and paste the codes all the time. This is a simple mod that does those things, so you can make books to give to others without worrying about them breaking them or stealing them because you can always have a master copy.

To copy a book:

You need to have the blank book and quill in your hotbar. This is to get past bukkit's server-sided checking system. To keep things simple i just made it so you drag the master copy into the crafting 2x2 of your inventory and it will copy it to the first blank book and quill in your hotbar.

Edit: You can also color the titles of books with this mod.


If you would like this mod just download the following, unzip and put the class files into your minecraft.jar file. Make sure to delete the Meta-Inf Folder in there as well. I am unsure of this mod's compatibility with other mods but I made minimal changes to files so it shouldn't be a problem. I will not make a modloader version, nor do i even know if it is possible.

Dedicated to maplethesnippa because i threw his book in lava.

Will other people see the color? Or do you have to have to mod to see other books with the color?
 
All the colours and fonts are built in to MC, so I assume everyone can see them.
 
Also, one suggestion, you should make it so when writing a book you can see what you have selected.
 
Everyone can see the colors, and you dont really "select" the colors it just overlaps the previous color or font type code.
 
Just keep in mind every code you use takes up two character spaces and I can't do anything to get around that.
 
Does it take Modloader? Because what with the whole "Preliminary Update" thing Risugami is doing right now, none of my other mods (minimap, soundpacks, etc.) work. PLEASE, please, please tell me this doesn't need Modloader.

So, no. Great mod btw.
 
In theory he should only have had to edit one java class file, and since that one probably would be left untouched by modloader, I think that if you install both it should still work...
 
It was two class files. One for the player's inventory (PlayerContainer.java) and one for the gui of the book (GuiScreenBook.java) still you're right, it shouldn't interfere with any modloader.

Ah yeah, forgot about the book copying feature :/
You could do it with a button on the book gui perhaps? Make it save the contents to a textfile and grabbing it again when you press a paste button in the book editor... that way it'd be a single class file...
 
So will this work in 1.3.2 now?

Also, you should really release this to Planet Minecraft if you haven't already. It's super useful and I haven't see anything there like this.

Planet Minecraft is almost taboo here, I'd suggest the MCForums. :P
 
This mod is in mc forums and no it doesnt work 1.3.2. If you open ur inv or even a chest mc crashes. To use it just get a 1.3.1 jar from the internet
