In their own words
Schematica
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.
SchemConvert
SchemConvert is a free, open-source desktop tool for converting Minecraft schematic files between four formats: .nbt, .schem, .litematic, and .bp. The formats correspond to different Minecraft tools and workflows: .nbt is used by vanilla structure blocks, .schem by community programs such as WorldEdit and MCEdit, .litematic by Litematica, and .bp by Axiom for blueprints. It can process multiple schematics in one batch, and command-line conversion to .litematic is supported. The listed placement workflow is export-only, so the tool’s role is converting and exporting files rather than placing them. SchemConvert runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows desktop systems and requires Java 21 or later. The repository is published under the GPL-3.0 license. GitHub reports no published security advisories and no SECURITY.md file. The project is hosted on GitHub, where its owner describes occasional coding and contributions to ParchmentMC mappings.
