How to enable sethome and home on a Vanilla Minecraft Server

Question

I've seen some Vanilla Minecraft servers that use books with a teleport home, set home, and tp to spawn options. I found an app that I can use to build the custom book, but I can't figure out how to allow players to set home, automatically get books when they die/first spawn, etc. Is there somewhere with some good tutorials for doing this in vanilla, or does anybody know how to get this to work?

I found this video, and I even downloaded the world to try and test it out. It works okay in the downloaded world, but I can't reproduce it in my world. The main issue, I think, is I can't figure out how the command blocks/glowstone lamps are being powered. If I could see the wiring behind things, I could maybe reproduce it.

I can't seem to find a lot out there on this. Any help would be really appreciated!

The command to activate the commands is as follows:

Answer 2

For the first spawn you'll have to make a scoreboard objective (call it what you like) and then there is a command that goes something like this (don't ctrl+ c it it wont work is just goes something like this...)

/testfor @p[maximum_scorebored_objective_{objective name}=0]

You then hook that up to some redstone and another command block which gives them the stuff you want to give them when they first spawn.

Good luck!
