copypaster

Copy cuboid regions to files. Paste them back exactly where you mean to — anchored to your position.

---

Copy Paster is a Fabric client + server mod for survival and creative builders who want a fast, visual way to duplicate structures without leaving the game. Select a box with keybinds, name it in chat, then paste it later — position follows where you stand at copy time and paste time, so offsets stay intuitive.

• [ / ] copy — two corners, live wireframe preview, name in chat
• Paste options — absolute coords, rotation, mirror, skip air, overwrite confirm
• Paste ghost preview — cyan box when blocks would be overwritten (respects rotation/mirror)
• Post-paste edits — /pasterotate, /pastemirror, /pastemove with cascaded undo
• Undo — /pasteundo with persistent snapshots under copypaster/undos/ (survives restart)
• LuckPerms — grant copypaster.* nodes to non-ops; vanilla operators always allowed
• Web UI (optional) — browser 3D viewer/editor with texture-accurate preview, palette remap, voxel paint, import/export .nbt
• Ukrainian (uk_ua) — full UI strings alongside English

Install

Where	What
Dedicated server	Matching copy_paster-<version>+<mc>.jar in mods/ + Fabric API
Each player who copies	Same JAR (same MC version) in client mods/ + bind [ / ]

Pick your JAR (server and every copying client must match):

Minecraft	Java	Example artifact
1.21.11	21	copy_paster-3.5.1+1.21.11.jar
26.2	25	copy_paster-3.5.1+26.2.jar
26.3	25	copy_paster-3.5.1+26.3.jar

Requires Fabric Loader 0.19.5+ and Fabric API.

Server-only mode: /paste, /copylist, /copyinfo, /copyblocks, /copydelete, /copyweb, and the web UI still work. World copy requires the client mod and keybinds (or /copy with coords).

Optional: Mod Menu + Cloth Config for in-game client settings.

Quick start

1 · Save a region

1. Stand at the anchor point you want for this copy.
2. Press [ on corner 1, then ] on corner 2 (wireframe follows your crosshair for the end corner).
   Or run /copy x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 without the client mod (requires copypaster.copy).
3. Type a structure name in chat (a–z, 0–9, _, -, max 64 chars). Type cancel to abort (timeout from server config, default 60 s).

2 · Paste it back

1. Stand in the same relative spot you used when copying (or use at — see commands).
2. /paste <name> — if the ghost warns about overwrites, run the suggested … confirm command.
3. Use /pasteinfo while looking at the build, or /pasteundolist, then /pasteundo <id>.

Examples:

/paste house
/paste house at 100 64 -20
/paste house rotate 90 mirror left_right noair confirm
