# Whiteboard (Paper plugin) > Render text from a **writable book** onto an **Item-Frame whiteboard**. > Supports grid boards, lock, background fill, fonts, undo/redo—server-side only. Full docs & screenshots: [GitHub README](https://github.com/nando256/whiteboard#readme) ## Summary Whiteboard lets players place a board on item frames and push book text onto it with a right-click. Multiple maps can be merged into a large grid board—handy for PDCA-style planning with kids, without client mods. ## Images ![whiteboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nando256/whiteboard/main/assets/images/Minecraft_papar_whiteboard-plugin.png) ## Requirements * **Server:** Paper 1.21.9 (or compatible) * **Java:** 21 * **Client:** Vanilla (no mods needed) ## Install 1. Download the JAR from Releases (or Hangar). 2. Drop it into `plugins/` and start the server. ## Usage 1. Place an **Item Frame** (map inside is recommended). 2. (Optional) Create a grid board: ``` /wb grid 3x2 ``` 3. Write in a **writable book**, hold it, and right-click the board to render. * Book directives let you control setup without commands: | Directive | Effect | |---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | `[boardsize WxH]` | Create/reset a board using the clicked frame as the top-left tile. | | `[lock on/off]` | Lock (default) or unlock the board after creation/updates. | | `[size N]` | Override text size (8–64). | | `[line N]` | Set line height when rendering wrapped/global text. | | `[pos X Y]` | Offset drawing position. `[xy …]` / `[offset …]` also work. | | `[color #RRGGBB]` | Change text colour (CSS names or hex). | | `[clear]` | Clear existing text before applying the book. | | `[pass secret]` | Provide the current password so a locked board accepts the book. | | `[password new]` | Set or change the board password; use `off` / `clear` / `none`. | Example first page: ``` [boardsize 7x4] [password classroom123] [lock on] [size 18] [color #ffaa00] Welcome to class! ``` ### Password Protection - Combine `[password ]` with `[lock on]` to require that password for future edits. - When a board is locked with a password, draw/clear commands are blocked until a book supplies `[pass ]`. - To change or remove the password, include both `[pass ]` and either `[password ]` or `[password off]` in the same book. - Server operators (or players with `whiteboard.admin`) can force-remove a board with `/wb gdestroy` while looking at it—handy if the password is lost. ### Commands ``` /wb grid x # e.g., /wb grid 3x2 /wb text [] # no arg: use held book; with arg: draw the text /wb font size= color=#RRGGBB /wb bg <#RRGGBB> /wb lock on|off /wb clear /wb undo /wb redo /wb gdestroy # OP only: delete the board you are looking at ``` ## Build (dev) ```bash ./gradlew clean build # JAR: build/libs/Whiteboard-.jar ``` ## Localization(i18n) Language files live in `src/main/resources/lang/`. If your language isn’t available, please add a new file (e.g. `de_de.yml`) and open a PR. ## Troubleshooting * **Nothing renders:** check permissions and console; ensure you’re right-clicking while holding a written book. * **Hangar publish 400 (noColor):** create the channel (e.g., `Snapshot`) on Hangar UI and assign a color, then publish again. ## License MIT (see `LICENSE`). ## Credit * [納戸工房 / Closet Workshop](https://donguri3.net/)
