BookPaste
by SvyatON
Pasting a long text into a writable book or sign, BookPaste splits the text across pages on its own, so the remainder keeps filling the next book.
What it does
When a pasted text runs past the end of a page, the mod continues it on the following pages instead of stopping. It tries to break the text at paragraphs, lines, sentences or words where possible, so the splits stay readable. When a writable book fills up, the leftover text stays on the clipboard, ready to resume in a fresh book with nothing discarded.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 33 release versions, 1.17 – 26.2. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code and issue tracker are linked publicly. It is compatible with Scholar, Stendhal and Scribble.

Smart break points
Splits are placed at paragraphs, lines, sentences or words where possible to keep the text readable.
Clipboard remainder
Text left over after a book fills stays on the clipboard, ready to paste into the next book.
Book count estimate

Instead of stopping at the current page, it automatically splits pasted text across pages and continues filling the next ones for you.
