This mod is currently available for Minecraft 1.21.2+3, 1.21+1 and 1.20.5+6/1.20.4/1.20.1 (no longer updated) with Fabric loader 0.16.3 or later. Version port requests can be made at the issue tracker. The Fabric API is required.

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."
  ]
}
