Clipboard
by Dooji
Clipboard adds a clipboard manager to Minecraft that keeps a history of copied entries and lets players search through them.
What it does
Copy and paste work through two clipboards: the system clipboard used by the operating system, and a custom clipboard kept inside the game. Ctrl + C copies to both, while Ctrl + V pastes from the custom clipboard first and falls back to the system clipboard when needed. The custom clipboard keeps its contents when it is inactive, so earlier entries stay available to view.
The mod requires Omnilib, and Fabric API is needed as well. It is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Clipboard is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric across three game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file.
Entries can be removed from the history with the delete button, reached by holding Shift and left clicking an item. The custom clipboard can also be turned off, in which case the mod leaves the normal system clipboard behavior in place.
Key features
Clipboard history
Copied entries are stored in a list that players can browse and search.
Dual clipboard copy
Pressing Ctrl + C places a copy in the system clipboard and the custom clipboard together.
Custom paste priority
Ctrl + V pastes from the custom clipboard first, with the system clipboard as the fallback.
Item deletion
Shift + left click on an entry removes it from the history.
Toggle the custom clipboard
The custom clipboard can be enabled or disabled, leaving normal clipboard behavior when it is off.

Use cases
Reusing earlier copies
A player who copied several strings or values can return to an older entry from the history instead of copying it again.
Pruning the history
Entries no longer needed can be deleted one at a time, keeping the list short for searching.
Who it’s for: Players who copy text or values often and want a searchable history of those copies. The mod runs on the client, so it suits single-player games and multiplayer clients alike.
