Overview

Litematica is a modern schematic mod designed as a successor to Schematica. It allows players to display a "hologram" version of a structure in-world, providing a precise guide for construction. Beyond simple blueprints, it offers powerful features for Creative mode such as schematic pasting, area cloning, and block replacement, as well as Survival-friendly tools like a detailed material list and a schematic verifier to detect building errors.

The mod is client-side, meaning it does not need to be installed on a server for most features to work, though certain Creative-mode operations like pasting may require specific server-side permissions or commands.

Frequently asked questions

What is Litematica?
Litematica is a client-side schematic mod that lets you preview, place, and verify builds in-world using ghost block overlays. It is primarily aimed at light mod loaders like LiteLoader, Rift, and Fabric, with extra features for creative mode work.
What is the Litematica hotkey to open the menu?
The default hotkey to open the Litematica main menu is M. M + C opens the config menu directly, and M + P opens the Schematic Placements menu.
Does Litematica work with shaders?
Litematica's rendering does not currently work properly with shaders (even with Iris) in 1.21.3+, so you need to disable shaders when using schematic rendering. On older MC versions it works better with shaders, but Optifine is generally much more problematic than Sodium with Iris.
Does Litematica have a printer?
No, Litematica does not have a built-in printer to place blocks for you. The printer is not planned for Litematica itself and is instead left to extension mods.
