Set Up Your First Schematic for Printing

Load a Litematica Schematic

Before the printer can work, you need an active schematic loaded in Litematica. Open the Litematica menu and load a schematic file. Position it in the world where you want to build—the printer will reference this placement.

Enable Printer Mode

Once your schematic is loaded and positioned, toggle the printer on using the default keybind (check your controls menu to confirm or rebind it). You should see visual feedback indicating the printer is active and reading your schematic.

Verify Block Detection

Stand near the schematic area. The printer should begin identifying blocks that need placement based on the schematic. Look for on-screen indicators showing which blocks are queued for placement. If nothing appears, double-check that your schematic is properly loaded and the printer mode is actually enabled.

Start Printing

The printer will automatically place blocks around you according to the active schematic. You can walk around the build area and it will continue working. If you need to pause, simply toggle printer mode off and back on when ready to resume.
