Hey
I've been searching but I can't seem to find a plugin that does what I'm looking for so I suppose I'll ask here. My server is heavily item based, but with custom items (using CraftBook). With that said, it would be impossible to know how to get through the game without knowing how to make said items. My goal is to be able to inform everyone on what the items' crafting recipes are, and that can be done in three ways - an online guide, which is tedious to put together, a room of item frames that show how it's done, which takes up way too much space and is impossible to traverse through, or a recipe book. I know recipe book plugins exist, but they only support Minecraft items. I'm looking to have recipe books that include custom crafting recipes as well.
How I'd envision this working is a book - enchanted, written, or normal - with a certain name that allows it to, when right clicked in the hand, open a crafting gui which displays the shape in which each item is crafted and its result. In order to compact more than one into a book, since there isn't really a left or right button on a crafting gui, it could scroll through them (maybe one transition every four seconds?) to display each one and restart when it reaches the end. Another key feature that the kind of plugin I'm looking for needs, since scrolling through a huge list of items would be tedious AND it would spoil the items from further in the game, is multiple books with different sets of items. These could be defined in the configuration of the plugin. In said configuration, I don't mind if it directly hooks into CraftBook's custom crafting so that, when listing recipes a certain book should have, you'd simply list its recipe name in CraftBook, or it has the user define the items, shapes, and results in the configuration for each recipe in each book (in this case it would be crucial that it supports NBT tags).
Sorry that it came out as a long post, but I appreciate it if you'd consider this and possibly take it up for me. Prices can be negotiated since I'm not quite sure how difficult of a project this would come to be.
