In general, the present disclosure describes techniques related to block vector coding for intra block copy and inter modes. In one example, the disclosure is for a video coding device comprising one or more processors and a memory configured to store video data. The video coding device is configured to determine a reference picture to be used for coding the current video block and to determine a picture order count (POC) value for the reference picture. In response to the POC value for the reference picture being equal to the POC value for the current picture containing the current video block, the video coding device sets the value of the syntax element to indicate that the reference picture list contains the current picture. Otherwise, the video coding device sets the value of the syntax element to indicate that the reference picture list does not contain the current picture.
