Schematica FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does the Schematica mod do?
It is a client-side building utility that displays schematic files as translucent ghost blocks in the world so you can recreate structures block by block. It can also export parts of your world into a schematic file.
What Minecraft versions does Schematica support?
The original mod lists versions from 1.5.2 up through 1.12.2. The fork on Modrinth is available for 1.8.9.
What mod loader does Schematica use?
The Modrinth project page lists Forge as the loader.
Does Schematica add new items or blocks?
No, it is a client-side building utility that displays ghost images of schematic files and exports parts of your world. It does not add new items or blocks.
What mods does Schematica require?

How do I load a schematic in Schematica?
Put your schematic files into the schematics folder created in your .minecraft folder, then use the load key (default NUM_/) to load them into your world. You can change the default keys to anything you want.
How do I save a schematic in Schematica?
Use the save key (default NUM_*) to open the save GUI, select two points in your world, type a name into the textbox, and click save. You can also export parts of your map this way.
How does the Schematica printer work?
Before enabling the printer, make sure you have the required materials on your hotbar, since it is a vanilla restriction that cannot be bypassed with a client-only mod. Once enabled with the correct blocks in your hotbar, walk around and the mod will place blocks around you.
Can server owners disable parts of Schematica?
