I try to keep support up for the latest drop of Minecraft. Updates to newer Minecraft
versions may be delayed from time to time, as I do not always have the time to immediately update my mods.

Unsupported versions are still available to download, but they won't receive new features or bugfixes.

NeoForge ports are available for Minecraft 26.1 onwards.

Usage

Mod builds can be found on the releases page, as well as on Modrinth.

The Fabric API is required on Fabric.

This mod adds one simple command, /bookcopy. It can be used as follows:

  • /bookcopy export <name> [<overwrite>] - exports the contents of the book you're holding to the given filename.
    • Set overwrite to true to overwrite books.
  • /bookcopy import <name> [<sign>] - reads the contents of given filename and writes it to the book you're holding.
    • Set sign to true to automatically sign the book after importing it. Only works if the book was saved with a title.

When exporting, you can use a written book or a book and quill to read from. When importing, you can
only use a book and quill, since the contents of a written book can't be updated.

Book contents are stored in the .minecraft/config/bookcopy folder. Book contents can be
transferred across worlds.

Below version 0.1.2-1.21.1, book contents are stored in NBT. In version 0.1.2-1.21.1 support for
reading JSON files was added, by adding .json at the end of your save names. JSON books are stored
in the following format:

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