Copier/en

Copier is a mod and an item to copy nodes and their metadata to an item, and paste it at other places with the exact same contents. This is useful to copy items (when they are in a chest) or nodes with complex metadata, for example, digtron crates and signs.

Basic Item Usage
To copy a node, a node with a copier. If that copier is a blank one, it will become a ready one. If the copier is a ready one, the node inside will be overridden.

To paste a node, a ready copier on another node. The copied node will be pasted to the surface you pointed to.

This command can save a ready copier if the source copier is on your hand to the world file. The path will be like, as a serialized lua table.

In order to avoid griefers from making large copier save files to damage the server, this command is limited to those who have the  priv.

This command can load an existing copier save file to the world as a dropped item at your position, if you have the  priv or global creative mods is enabled.

Limits

 * You cannot copy or paste nodes that are locked but not owned by you, to keep the security and avoid pasting nodes that are unbreakable by the paster.
 * As almost all node placer mods do, you cannot paste blocks in protected areas.
 * You cannot copy and/or paste advtrains nodes.

Use Cases

 * Copying nodes with complex metadata, for example, Luacontrollers.
 * Copy node's faceing direction that is hard to reproduce without a screwdriver.
