Book Copy

The Book Copy mod is a simple client-side solution for working with written books in Minecraft. It adds just one command /bookcopy that opens up new possibilities for players to save and restore book contents.

Main Features

Using the /bookcopy command, you can:

• Export content - save text from the book you're holding to a file with the specified name
• Import content - load previously saved text into a clean book and quill

Command Usage

Exporting a Book

/bookcopy export <name> [<overwrite>]

The overwrite parameter (true/false) allows overwriting existing files.

Importing a Book

/bookcopy import <name> [<sign>]

The sign parameter (true/false) automatically signs the book after import if it was saved with a title.

Important Features

• Book and quill only - for import, you can only use clean books and quill, since the contents of signed books cannot be changed
• Cross-platform - saved books can be transferred between different worlds
• Storage format - books are saved in the .minecraft/config/bookcopy folder

Supported Minecraft Versions

JSON File Format

Starting from version 0.1.2-1.21.1, the mod supports saving books in JSON format. To do this, add .json at the end of the file name. File structure:

{
  "title": "Signed book title",
  "pages": [
    "This is a signed book.",
    "This is the second page!",
    "",
    "An empty page then this!",
    "Wow."
  ]
}

The mod requires Fabric API to work. The mod is distributed under the GNU LGPLv3 license.
