About this Mod
Copy cuboid regions to files. Paste them back exactly where you mean to — anchored to your position.
Copy Paster is a Fabric client + server mod for survival and creative builders who want a fast, visual way to duplicate structures without leaving the game. Select a box in the world, name it in chat, then paste it later — position follows where you stand at copy time and paste time, so offsets stay intuitive.
- Interactive
/copy— click two corners; live wireframe preview while you aim - Paste ghost preview — cyan outline when blocks would be overwritten
- Undo —
/pasteundorestores the last paste (in-memory until restart) - Ukrainian (

copypaster server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is copypaster compatible with fabric?
copypaster officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with copypaster – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if copypaster consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
