What it is

Litematic Converter converts Minecraft Litematica.litematic files into.bp Axiom Blueprints or.schem WorldEdit schematics. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is free: the listed plan is free. Its GUI can locate Minecraft directories, select one or several files, batch-convert them, and show progress with detailed logs. The.bp output includes 3D thumbnails and preserves block properties and tile entities. The.schem converter supports the modern WorldEdit format, including multiple regions and entities. Both formats support banners with custom patterns. Command-line conversion is limited to one file at a time. The project requires Python 3.7 or newer and dependencies listed in requirements.txt. It is open source; users can download a release or clone the repository, and may use, modify, and distribute it. For help, the project points to troubleshooting guidance and issue reporting. If input files are not found, the README advises avoiding special characters in their paths.
