Add support for "virtual" books

[nussaleo]

What feature do you want?

In my tests to use the geyser, I noticed that it does not support plugins that use virtual books (Examples: Slimefun, VirtualBooks, InteractiveBooks, CitizensBooks, etc ...)

I think it is not a complicated thing to solve, and it would be great to have support for these books in the geyser for players to see interesting and creative things.

Alternatives?

In fact I tested all the plugins I mentioned above, none of them showed the virtual books to those who were in bedrock, while it worked normal for those who were in java.

Probably won't be possible because from what I know Bedrock doesn't have this feature.

It's possible with a workaround, I think - if we can put a lectern above the player and close it when they're done reading, that would work.

My suggestion is more for the advantage of showing the text, the interactive json part I already know that there is no way.

all the plugins I mentioned above have support for placeholder api for example, which is quite fun creating informative books and etc ...

I would love to know how to do this. I have tried:

player.getLocation().add(0,2,0).getBlock().setType(Material.LECTERN); player.openBook(book);

Is that what you mean?

The workaround was potentially as a Geyser-side fix. But, I don't think it would work in hindsight.

Please fix this:)
