What can Litematica do?

In a nutshell, Litematica is
**”a MOD that allows you to build while displaying blueprints”**.

The main functions are as follows.

• Display architectural blueprint (schematic)
• Automatically calculate the required number of blocks
• Visualize misplaced or misplaced blocks with color
• Complete reproduction of someone else’s architecture

The precision and stability of architecture will be on a whole new level.

Who is Litematica suitable for

• People who do large-scale construction
• People with many symmetrical buildings
• People who want to accurately create circuits and devices
• People who want to reproduce someone else’s architecture

On the other hand,
It is not necessary if you are just building a small house by feeling.

What you need to know before installing

Litematica does not work by itself.
The following MODs are required.

• Fabric
• MELib

Many cases of “Litematica not working” are caused by
MaLiLib not installed.

Litematica basic operations

How to open the menu

• M key: Litematica main menu
• M + C: Settings screen

You just need to remember this first.

How to load blueprint (schematic)

1. Prepare schema file (.litematic)
2. Put in .minecraft/schematics folder
3. Mキー →「Load Schematics」
4. Select and load blueprint

The blueprint will now be displayed on the world.

Design 図の position adjustment method (super important)

This is the first point where Litematica beginners stumble.

Basic operations

• M + R: Blueprint operation mode
• Fine adjustment of position using direction keys or settings

Common mistakes

• Buried in the ground
• Height is off
• Reverse direction

Don’t rush and check the “Y coordinate (height)”.

Understand the meaning of colors

The blueprint display has colors.

• Green: Correctly installed
• Red: Wrong block
• Blue: Not placed yet
• Orange: Unnecessary block

Just by looking at this color,
you can instantly tell what’s wrong.

How to check the required number of blocks

This is a must-see feature before construction.

• Mキー →「Material List」
• A list of used blocks will be displayed

This allows

• Insufficient materials
• Work interrupted midway

can be prevented.

Settings often used by architects

Settings to lighten the display

• Hide unnecessary layers
• Display only the height you are currently working on

→ Visibility and FPS are stable.

Building efficiency UP settings

• Switch layer with hotkey
• Minimize block guide

The default settings are heavy, so you will need to adjust them once you get used to them.

Precautions when using for survival

Litematica is a building aid and is not a
mod that automatically places blocks.

• Collect the blocks yourself
• Manual installation

Therefore,
It is used without any problem in survival.

* When using a multi-server, be sure to check whether MODs can be used.

Common problems and solutions

Blueprints are not displayed

• MaLiLib is not included
• Using Forge instead of Fabric

Color is difficult to understand

• Color can be changed in settings
• Lowering the transparency makes it easier to see

Heavy

• Narrow the display range
• Use layer display

MODs that are compatible with Litematica

This is a MOD that is often used together.

• MiniHUD (height/center confirmation)
• WorldEdit (groundwork creation)

It is a combination of “accuracy x efficiency”.

Summary｜Litematica is a MOD that maximizes the reproducibility of architecture

By using Litematica,

• Drastically reduced construction errors
• Large-scale construction is stable
• Accurately reproduce someone else’s architecture

Yes.

It may seem difficult to operate at first, but
Once you get used to it, you won’t be able to put it down.

We recommend trying it on a small building first, and then gradually using it on larger buildings.
