    I think the brand new players need more resources to some basic information about the server. I would like to suggest a book that is automatically included in the chest for every new island. I think it could be a great to resource for all players, so that everyone has the same information right from the beginning. This could be a very friendly gesture to all newcomers. Hopefully this will cut down on basic questions being asked repeatedly in chat.

    Some things I would like to see in the book are:

    -Basic Rules/Guidelines
    -How to start out an island
    -Basic Commands
    -Basic Warps
    -How to start a tradeshop
    -Links to skyblock.com, skyblock.net, and the discord
    -Basic Donor info

    I do not mind taking the time to write up a sample book and submitting it to the mods for review.

    Please list anything you think would be helpful for a brand new player to know about the server. Thank you.

    Support. There used to be a book and I don't see why we shouldn't have one again :)

    Support, maybe add where to go if you wanna appeal, report, apply for mod and suggest new ideas? It would really help them.

    Support, new players often are asking the same questions and a book on their island should help out with this. Another thing to add maybe would be how to get lava back if it turns to obsidian, players ask that a lot :)

    Support. I think this would be very useful for new players. I know that it is also possible to have text in books suggest commands or open up websites, which I think would be cool for things such as the voting websites, forums, or useful commands.

    I suggested something to bring back /warp info and to put all the stuff listed on it.

    However, support.

    Support. This is a great idea for beginners that don't know what they are doing. Just an idea, but what if it was just given to them with the "create an island" cobble block, that way it could include useful info for creating an island as well. Just a suggestion

    Support, although this would most likely come under donor items - island expansions and a basic explanation of how to get a bigger island/ island neighbours.

    I don't have as much free time as I'd like to be able to write something like this up myself, but please feel free to propose the text for such a book. You don't have to edit the book in-game, just plain text here on forums is fine.

    Feel free to use color and formatting, but it probably works best if you keep text to about 20 characters per line.

    Here's an example:

    Skyblock Bible

    Basic Rules

    1 Be respectful
    2 Be considerate
    3 Have fun! : )

    How to Play:

    ...

    Ranks:

    ...

    Commands:

    ...

    Color Codes:

    &0 &1 &2 &3
    &4 &5 &6 &7
    &8 &9 &a &b
    &c &d &e &f

    &l Bold
    &m Strike
    &n Underline
    &o Italic

    Full Rules:

    If this book becomes a reality, I would like to propose that it appears in every new player's inventory as soon as they log in. And perhaps a kit command should anyone lose it.

    I forgot to mention this. I will set up a free tradeshop chests so you guys can just visit my island for a copy of the book if I'm not online. Please feel free to post here so we can keep track of possible changes. Thanks!
