Book Copy Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I copy a book to use in another world?
Hold the written book in your hand and use the /bookcopy command to copy its contents. The book data is then stored and ready to paste into any other world where you have the mod installed.
What's the difference between copy and save?
Copy temporarily stores a book's contents in your current session, while save preserves the book data permanently so you can access it even after closing and reopening Minecraft.
Can I paste a book I copied into a new world?
Yes, once you've copied or saved a book, join any other world with the mod installed and use the paste command to create a new written book with the same contents.
Do I need the original book to paste its contents elsewhere?
No, once you've copied or saved the book data, you don't need the original book anymore—the contents are stored independently and can be pasted multiple times.
Will copying a book remove it from my current world?
No, copying a book only duplicates its contents; the original book remains in your inventory or wherever you left it.
Can I copy books written by other players?
Yes, you can copy any written book regardless of who authored it, as long as you have it in your inventory.
What happens if I copy a book, then edit the original—does the copy update?
No, the copy captures the book's contents at the moment you copy it; later edits to the original won't affect the stored copy.
Is there a limit to how many books I can save?
The mod stores saved books in your world folder, so the limit depends on your storage space rather than a hard cap built into the mod.
Can I transfer books between single-player and multiplayer worlds?
Yes, the mod works across any world type—you can copy from single-player and paste into a multiplayer server, or vice versa, as long as the server has the mod installed.
What should I do if a pasted book appears blank or corrupted?
Try copying the book again and ensure you're using the correct paste command; if the issue persists, check that the mod is up to date and that you're not mixing incompatible world versions.
