Copy and Paste

Armour Stands with custom poses can have their data stored in armour stand items by throwing a book with `copy` and armour stand items at this armour stand. This will copy its pose, base plate and size to the item and some particles will be displayed to indicate that it has been copied successfully. Placing this item will create an armour stand with the same pose as the original one.

Code	Additional	Description
copy	Armour stand item(s) on the ground	Copy pose, base plate and size information onto the armour stand items
paste	Armour stand item (from `copy`) on the ground	Copy pose, base plate and size information from the armour stand item onto the armour stand
