Book copying mods must be banned

[Jentos 9422]

I would like to begin this post by stating that I write this sound of mind and healthy of body, unadulterated by any substances whatsoever.

I wanted to make this post to call for the post-haste banning of any and all mods which allow for the copying of MC books on the server. The process of it is deadly simple: access to a book, even through a locked bookshelf (the ability to read said book) allows for its immediate computation through the mod and the direct ability to have it (almost) instantly transferred into an MC book.

 

I am an avid writer, and I prize MC books because it allows them displayed into libraries, makes them valuable (due to the ability to make them NON-COPIABLE in standard MC practices). And I write, a lot. It allows one character to become a prominent author - with their very own books travelling through centuries, map to map, and becoming prized, valuable collections (especially when you have a full set of rare books!!!).

Looking at a book and instantly downloading them into a blank one in a split second is some ******* voidcel cheater mechanism akin to human see-through-walls-to-smash-your-phylactery-jutsu and the infamous "dwarf visions" of my (loved and despised) Nexus period when infinite mine worlds were a thing.

Some players will claim that their characters are instantly capable of copying 700 books by their mere glance. You disgusting subhuman animal. I spend hours painstackingly thinking out and writing a whole 100 page book and then some (slur offending an individual's mental capacity (i get to say it, when i was a kid they put me in a seperate classroom with the nice lady)) decides they're going to use a GAME MODIFICATION to instantly copy my book and SIGN it with their own ******* name. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GUTENBURG HAD TO PUT TO PRINT THE BIBLE? DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE AND EXHAUSTING EARLY PRINTING WAS??? Ohhh well my character is just so smart jentos they can just do it you're just mad people are stealing your books and making the concept of rare libraries in the prime and pristine and superior Minecraft roleplaying experience, Lord of the Craft, devoid of any function because you just happened to let in 1 glue sniffing erping, basement-dwelling, elf-roleplaying, spiritually idunian, soul-less husk of an insult of a """person""" into your library and they instantly copied every single book out of a library you and your community have killed, murdered, plundered, schemed, bought and lied and worked tirelessly to accomplish and one """""""person""""""" with a mod came and ruined it. YES!!!!!!! YES I AM MAD!!!! I SHOULD BE !!!! WHAT KIND OF ******* COWARD WOULD I BE IF I WASN'T???!!!!!!!

PICK UP A BOOK AND WRITE IT DOWN MANUALLY. See how much of a "forger" you are without your disgusting SHORTCUTS. You will NOT survive the Al apocalypse. You will be a SLAVE to Peter Thiel and Sam Altman, incapable of doing anything without technology. You're gonna be the ******* fat floating chuds from Wall-E mindlessly consuming slop. I will survive this neo-feudalistic takeover through my sheer will and I will buy you through the new legal-loophopes into an unfavourable contract and turn you into an object. I will make you lick your daily dose of lamb feed (this one in particular: https://epol.co.za/product/elite-lamb-finisher/#open) from the floor as you mindlessly stare into the vacant void, your mind captured by an endless stream of politically questionable instragram reels directly into your brain cortez from your neuralink brain chip. I will stand over you dressed with a wide-brimmed feathered hat and a fur coat like some 80's pimp with my grinning teeth encased with jewels and a large golden chain saying "SUCKS TO SUCK" encrusted with diamonds hanging from my neck. My shoes are going to have a curling pointed tip like i'm santa's best elf and i will tower over you like a sumerian god king. And you won't even know it. You won't even have a capital first letter in your name when its written down. Because you're a cheat and you've forsaken your human spirit for the lie of the machine. 

 

Anyways I didn't mean to go on a rant and I hope I've been comprehensive and brief, but I really think we should restrict the use of automatic copying mods for the purpose of making book forgeries. In my opinion it leads to automatized plagiarism and risk-less-effortless forgeries. I think its still useful for like pasting a document you wrote into a book thats nice. I rest my case.

As a victim of book copy mods I agree. Ban book copy mods.

i thoroughly enjoyed reading this more than any lore page or culture post (except absolutism of course n.n)

 

edit: forced PK for IRP selfmade human printers or we ride at dawn is my verdict

My only note is that the ancient bookreading plugin where the book contents appeared in chat was lowkey goated

Didn't know this was an issue, shouldn't be an issue, ban these mods

[StingyParrot 1595]

yeah and i use xray too (seer magic)

Book copy mods are primarily used as a means of preservation without spending literal irl hours in a 2nd job simulator copying it all by hand, brought about into common use by the massive amount of bugs that erase these books from shelves constantly. Like buggy shelves have destroyed probably tens of hundreds of books permanently so it is general practice these days to ensure you have backups of everything. 

Breaking into someone's house to like mass-copy all of the books in their personal locked storage or whatever is probably not something that should be allowed though.

I dont mind the first part I agree!! But I've had the second happy to me last map and I've also seen ppl literally take what I've written and sign it as theirs.

Agreed. I have started to just copy it over by hand as of late. As much as I love archiving I was informed pretty recently how scummy it is

[Suxals 529]

Grok, please summarize and turn this post into a mc book, thank you.

 

It shouldn't be allowed, yeah.

Valid crashout

How much did Idunia plagiarize from you. This is a safe space you can share

I was there for this, I miss it honestly, I was a really cool and fun experience and I enjoyed it a lot more than reading through minecraft books, for whatever reason. Reading through an account of a battle against a voidal tear back in the library or Llyria will always be a core memory. 
 

I think the offense this post is describing should suffer a MINIMUM 3 months long ban on the first offense. If you are installing a book copying mod and distributing stolen books signed under your name, you know what you are doing, and if mods won't do anything I will gladly pugsy you and burn all your stuff- don't try me, I've already proven I'd do it. 

 

(If any mods take this as intent to pugsy and want to punish me for it you are thereby admitting to thinking this is fine and shouldn't be punished btw)
