Methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums are provided. A block vector of a current block that is to be coded in intra block copy (IBC) mode is determined. The block vector points to a first reference block of the current block in a current picture. An operation is performed on at least one component of the block vector based on the first reference block being outside a search range of the current block. The block vector is modified by the operation to point to a second reference block that is within the search range for the current block. The current block is encoded based on the modified block vector. The performing the operation includes performing a modulo operation on a y component of the block vector based on a size of a current coding tree unit (CTU) that includes the current block.
