what do you mean by “not for personal Gain”? is the entire point of selling a book not for personal gain? and wait, did you just say that the author doesn’t get any cut of the sales? because that’s just ridiculous, somebody could have spent days on a book, and they decide to sell it in the library, but (oh wait) “I don’t get profits from this, oh well, It’s charity. So……” well, i don’t really care, so ok, I’ll just do it the long way.

I don’t think anyone would want to read your books anyway with that tone attached to it, read my posts, calm down. Im all up for coming to a solution to pay for a copy, the server buys the rights to the book. Nothing is stopping you setting up your own shop, sell for whatever price you want then, No you cannot have a infinite server shop that gives you infinite money, consonantly.

Here is an example of a well-made book. Disclaimer: it’s mine! ? Having made a number of in-game books, I have to say that it is a major pain in the neck to edit them. It would be great if there were a number of server commands helping with the process, such as: Clearing the entire book and resetting all of its NBT tags (there are a number of issues with /book right now, I can go into detail if anyone is interested). Clearing a specific page. Removing a specific page. Inserting & moving pages around. Replacing parts of a page (something like Find & Replace would be epic for correcting misspelled words). Does anyone know if there are any good plugins that allow this? I know of MassiveBook but it comes with some annoying dependencies.

Yes! This is the EXACT kind of book I was looking for, you once showed me it, Does the copy & paste function not work on this resource I sent? http://minecraft.tools/en/book.php I thought you could format, add pages and everything and copy and paste directly into a book, this way you can even save copies to the website and go and edit them later? if people cannot use this tool then I will gladly add a better book writing plugin.

I have never used /book, its an Essentials basic, so its very basic, a plugin could be swapped for better editing, I still think the web UI is the best way to go if you can copy & paste into books from it, way more freedom then, same for all those bullet points, depending on if the copy & paste works from http://minecraft.tools/en/book.php

I have previously had book editing plugins on the server, Ive used https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/massivebooks.1907/ Massivebooks in the past, there seems to be a ton from a quick google, There’s a few older plugins that probs still work BoomManager, BetterBooks I think I used that back in 1.4!

ikr ae0 the one thing that minecraft should add in 1.11 is a revamp to all books, be able to edit them like a word document sort of, by using the arrow keys or wasd to move the cursor around and insert things. its a pain in the ass to delete everything u wrote only to fix one word. they should also add in upgradable books, like combine 2 book and quills in a crafting table to make it 100 pages, or do it 3 times to get 200 pages

Hey man, use the website I refereed earlier on in this thread, and reply to ae0, give it a try, I’ve used it for years but only for generating commands, im always in gm1, I have never tried as a player copy & pasting into it, ive posted it out many times to the forum before, but I don’t think its ever been noticed, it literally solves every issue with books if you edit from a web UI and can save your books for editing later or duplicating.
