# BlockBookBinder
|
|
_A simple utility for preparing and pasting large texts into Minecraft books._
|
|
|
|
This application was developed in order to make the production of written books in Minecraft easier, by splitting up large texts into pre-formatted chunks that are automatically loaded onto the user's clipboard for pasting into the book.

## Using Block Book Binder
|
|
|
|
To get started, look for the [**Releases**](https://github.com/andrewlalis/BlockBookBinder/releases) section on this page, and find the latest release. Download the executable JAR file, and make sure you have Java version 17 or higher installed to run it.
|
|
|
|
Start the program, and you'll be greeted with a window that has **Book Preview** and **Source Text** panels. Enter the text you'd like to work with into the **Source Text** panel. In the top menu under **Book**, you'll find a **Clean Source** button, which will remove extra whitespace from the text to make it more friendly for Minecraft's cramped style. You'll also find **Compile from Source**, which will compile your source text into a book in the **Book Preview** panel.
|
|
|
|
Once you're happy with how the pages are formatted, you can click the **Export to Minecraft** button to begin exporting pages to your clipboard.
