CopyPasteBooks
by Rianpls
CopyPasteBooks lets players paste long text into written books from the clipboard or a text file, splitting it across pages and volumes.
What it does
Players can copy text from the clipboard or from a .txt file and import it into signed or unsigned books, with paste spanning several pages and undo and redo available while editing. Text longer than 100 pages is split into volumes automatically or by hand, and unsigned volumes receive temporary colored numbers so they are easier to sort.
Export works in the other direction: selected page ranges can be saved as plain text or as formatted text with legacy color codes, and page breaks can be kept through optional page markers. The mod runs on the client, so only the player who installs it needs it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.1 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Server plugins still reject books that exceed limits or contain blocked characters, so those restrictions apply to the imported text.
Key features

Volume splitting
Texts longer than 100 pages are divided into volumes automatically or manually, and unsigned volumes get temporary colored numbers.
