    I'm just letting you guys know before it gets out of hand you can now duplicate a book in the crafting table and this is legal as it's coded into Minecraft. It will duplicate any book and in return you will get the same book, author & text inside. I know people buy sigs for lots of diamonds and i don't want to see anyone getting scammed.

    You will not be refunded if you bought any book.

    Well crap, I bought like 5 chest of the xmas sig to resell so now that will be worthless?

    If I know think I wouldnt have bought it all on xmas day. Unless this was a feature of the latest update. Man this sucks because they are all worthless. Well now we can mass produce our own written lore/how to's/ect if we wanted.

    It must have been in the last update because when I bought all those Cyp xmas signatures I couldnt stack so it took up like 5 chest but now I noticed that copied books stack.

    When the 1.8 update happens it's supposed to change so when you copy a book the title changes to "Copy of ...".

    But yeah, right now it copies exactly.

    Yeah that would make perfect sense.. Im kinda bummed out since I worked hard to collect a bunch of signatures before the last update which means the great hobby of book collecting is pointless and worthless :(

    Nothing is pointless if you like it. This is just something to keep in mind while pricing.

    And sorry about the books you already collected. Tis the nature of minecraft to change on a whim like that. *hugs*

    Wow this stinks I spent some diamonds on Crew's book and now that I think about it I have seen the EXACT same book I bought before. Most likely duplicated

    Thanks for the information though

    I noticed this long before... look what I noticed on the wiki. It existed since Snapshot 13w36a (Year 2013, Week 36, Release A):
