How do I duplicate items in Minecraft Bedrock creative mode?

How do I duplicate items in Minecraft Bedrock edition? To clarify, I mean in creative mode, I don't want cheats in my survival worlds.

I've seen plenty of answers to similar questions, but they never seem to work in Bedrock. Is this just my mouse, or a limitation from Microsoft?

Solution 1:

The 'Pick Block' key does not work to duplicate items on Bedrock edition in creative mode at the time of this writing (v1.16.201 on Windows 10).

However, duplication can still be done by duplicating a container.

1. Place a shulker box and load it up with items that you want to duplicate. This is nice for heavily enchanted items because it's a pain to place all those enchantments all over again for each item.
2. Break the shulker box and pick it up. Hovering over it will show a brief description of what's in it.
3. Now this same shulker box can be placed as many times as you'd like, it won't leave your inventory, effectively duplicating everything in it.
4. Note: Attempting to use the 'Pick Block' bound key on these placed shulkers will only pick an empty shulker box. You'll need to pick one up and continue from step 2 to continue duplicating the items within them.

You can place the items you want to copy inside of a chest or other block that can hold items. Then, use the 'Pick Block' keybind while holding Control at the same time to get that chest as an item and place the copied chest down to extract the copied contents.

No, you can rebind the 'Pick Block' keybind to anything in the settings screen.
