Spec score 7.4 #22 of 42 in Minecraft Schematic Tools

What it is

Schematica is a Minecraft modification for loading, building, and exporting schematic files. It displays a structure as a ghost image in the game, giving players a visual reference while rebuilding. Its loading interface can browse saved or downloaded schematics and sort them into folders. Color indicators distinguish matching blocks, ordinary schematic blocks, block ID or metadata mismatches, and schematic air.

A Materials interface lists what a loaded schematic requires. The printer places blocks within a three-block radius, but still needs some player interaction. Commands can save, list, remove, download, and replace schematics; downloading is available only on servers. The build configuration targets Minecraft 1.12.2 and specifies Forge and LunatriusCore dependencies. The project lists desktop platforms and is licensed under MIT. It is free. A compatibility limit applies: schematics saved in Minecraft 1.7 or newer cannot be loaded in Minecraft 1.6.4 or earlier.
