BookAndStorage is a Spigot Plugin that I made for fun that lets you store data in Minecraft books.

Aren't you tired of using Book and Quills for just storing simple things like some text of what you did in your world? If your answer is yes, then BookAndStorage changes that! You can store everything that comes to your mind in books!

Currently there aren't any known issues.

• Data Storage: Store various types of data in books, such as text, images, small videos, even more!
• Book Splitting: Split bigger data to chunks of books! Currently, you can't get more than 36 books of data since books are placed into your inventory. If you try to create data worth more than 36 books (approximately 288 KB), you will not receive the rest of the data.
• Ease of Use: You can easily create books with one command or write a content of a book to an actual file!
• Compatibility: Compatible with Minecraft version 1.14+ due to increased page sizes of the books.

• Performance: I've tested the plugin on a 1.16.5 server with only 1 GB of RAM allocated with no other plugins and while creating 36 books that contain 8 KB data each, TPS was stable 20 all the time.

• Storing up to 7,992 KB (approximately 8 MB) of data by filling up the whole inventory with shulker boxes that contain chunks of data.
• Limiting data usage for books.
• Changing whether to give player Book and Quill or Written Book from the config file.

• You can only store up to 8 KB files.
• You can't split files into chunks of books.

To get started with the plugin, simply install it to your server by downloading the plugin from releases tab. You don't need to install any dependency to run the plugin.

Do you need to run the plugin on versions below 1.14? No worries, you can still do that. Since I've started developing the plugin for 1.12 and switched to 1.14 because of increased book page limit, the plugin is fully compatible with 1.12.

To build the plugin for versions below 1.14, you can follow the following steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/re1e4se/BookAndStorage.git

2. Change api-version in spigot.yml file which is located at /src/main/resources to your target version such as 1.12
3. Change dependency version in pom.xml file which is located at the root folder of the project to your target dependency version such as 1.12-R0.1-SNAPSHOT It should look like following:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
    <artifactId>spigot-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.12-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

4. Change book page limit in config.yml to avoid any errors that might occur when creating a book that has more than 50 pages (approximately 4 KB) data in it to 50. It should look like following:

bookPageLimit: 50

5. Change book page limit in CreateDataCommand.java to avoid any errors that might occur when creating a book that has more than 50 pages (approximately 4 KB) data in it to 50. It should look like following:

int bookPageSize = 50;
