Load and Position a Blueprint in Your World

Opening the Blueprint Manager

Press M to open the blueprint manager. You'll see your local blueprint files listed, or you can browse the Online tab to download community-created structures directly.

Placing Your Blueprint

Select a schematic file (supports .litematic, .schem, .schematic, .nbt, and Axiom .bp formats). The ghost projection will appear in your world as a holographic preview using realistic 3D block models.

Use the placement tools to move and rotate the blueprint to your desired location. The mod will render the entire structure as a transparent overlay so you can see exactly where blocks will go.

Adjusting Before Building

If you need to modify the blueprint area, press B to enter the free-camera selection tool. You can fly around, resize the selection, and even save custom areas as new blueprint files. This is useful if you only want to build part of a larger structure.

Once positioned correctly, you're ready to start building—either manually with assisted placement or by enabling the automated printer.
