Litematica

Severe vulnerability in 1.21+ versions of the mod

See the announcement post here for details:

https://old.reddit.com/r/litematica/comments/1up8uqk/important_announcement_litematica_vulnerability/

As a summary, everyone using MC 1.21+ versions of Litematica should update to the latest available mod versions immediately!!

The vulnerability does not exist in the 1.20.x and older mod versions. With the affected mod versions, connecting to potentially any server might transfer malware to your system. Single player is not at risk. But update the mod!

See this about MC 1.20.5 and later versions

https://old.reddit.com/r/litematica/comments/1di4o3h/announcement_about_litematicas_future_and_updates/

TL;DR; I won't maintain the 1.20.5+ versions myself anymore, at least for now. There are ports by Sakura-Ryoko. They will be here once they are more stable, see the post for the links and details before then.

Description:

Litematica is a new schematic mod written from scratch, and it is primarily targeting light mod loaders like LiteLoader on 1.12.x, Rift on 1.13.x and Fabric on 1.14+. There is also a Forge version for 1.12.2, but not yet for 1.14.4+ (but Forge ports for 1.14.4+ are also planned, see below).
It has all the features of the old Schematica mod except for the printer (which is not planned for Litematica itself, but instead is left to extension mods), plus a bunch more.

• The main feature of a schematic mod is to display a "hologram" version of a structure, which shows you exactly how to build the structure and where to place the blocks. It also includes a (configurable) overlay to highlight missing, extra or wrongly placed blocks.
• Litematica also includes a nice Material List, including a Material List HUD, to help you collect the materials needed for the build.
• There is also a Schematic Verifier feature, including an overlay, which you can use to scan the entire schematic area and look for any mistakes. This can be extremely useful especially with technical/redstone builds, where tiny mistakes can break everything.
• There are also several Creative-mode-only helper features, such as Fill, Replace, Delete and also a Paste mode for "pasting" schematics into the world (immediate/direct in single player, using /setblock commands in multiplayer).

NOTE: Litematica also requires the MaLiLib library mod:

WARNING: The Easy Place mode feature may get you banned on some servers!
The Easy Place feature will always be clicking on the target position's air block, and this can easily be detected by anti-cheat systems. So this can result in at least two things: The block placement will just be rejected and you just get client-side ghost blocks, or some anti-cheat system flags that as cheating and auto-bans you from the server. So before using Easy Place, find out of it's allowed on the server!

About Forge ports for 1.14.4+
Forge versions for 1.14.4 and later are planned.
Still no ETA for the "official port", which will only be done from the still being worked on new development code. But ZacSharp already ported the current 1.16.4 Fabric version to 1.16.5 Forge. That port is available here: https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/litematica-forge

Some more info and discussion about the Forge port/builds is here: https://github.com/maruohon/litematica/issues/234

There are also at least a couple of other 3rd party Forge ports on GitHub and at least one on Modrinth. I haven't tested those myself, so I can't say anything about how well they work.

The default hotkey to open the in-game config GUI is M + C. If you are for example on AZERTY keyboard layout instead, then the keys are different, and M + C becomes , + C instead, etc.

If you have Optifine installed, then there are some options that you most likely will need to disable in Optifine, or otherwise it will break the schematic rendering:

• If you get glitchy weird triangles, then in 1.16+ first try updating to the latest Litematica version. If that doesn't work, then set shaders to OFF (not Internal) and restart the game.
• Render Regions probably needs to be disabled to prevent weird rendering issues (the schematic (partially?) rendering in weird places)
• Fast Render might also need to be disabled if there are still some weird HUD/GUI rendering issues

Snapshot versions and latest development builds

There are sometimes newer "development" or snapshot versions of my mods available here: https://masa.dy.fi/mcmods/client_mods/
Lately I've stopped making releases for MC snapshots, as it's mostly a waste of my limited modding time and energy. Snapshot releases maye start again at some point, if I ever get the elusive but often mentioned "new code versions" of the mods actually released to the public first. I geuss time will tell.

FAQ - please read first if you have questions

The mod is still under development, and some of the planned "extra" features (for example some of the "tool modes") haven't yet been implemented fully or at all.

Here is a Reddit post that explains the very basics of the mod:

Here are some tutorial videos for the basics of the mod. A more detailed, "official" tutorial video is planned after I finish some changes and still missing features I'm still working on for the mod.

Description

Litematica is a modern schematic mod primarily targeting light mod loaders like LiteLoader on MC 1.12.x, Rift on MC 1.13.x and Fabric on MC 1.14+.

There is also a Forge version, but currently only for MC 1.12.2. For later MC versions there are currently only third party ports such as Forgematica.

Litematica has all the main features (plus a bunch more) of the old Schematica mod, except for the printer, which is not planned for Litematica itself, but instead is left to extension mods (see: aria1th printer or the other printer).

Compatibility with shaders

Litematica's rendering doesn't currently work properly with shaders (even with Iris) in 1.21.3+. So when you need to use Litematica (schematic rendering), disable shaders.

In older MC versions the rendering works better with shaders, at least with Iris, but also depending on the shader pack. Some shader packs break the rendering pretty badly, but some used to work pretty nicely. Optifine in general is/was a lot more problematic, pretty much you can't use shaders at all with Optifine if you use Litematica. The general recommendation is to use Sodium (and Iris) instead of Optifine.

Hotkeys

The default hotkey to open the Litematica main menu is M.

Note: If you use a non-QWERTY keyboard layout, then the keys may be different, such as M becoming , on AZERTY.

Warning for multiplayer

The Easy Place mode feature may get you banned on some servers!

The Easy Place feature will always be clicking on the target position's air block, and this can easily be detected by anti-cheat systems. So this can result in at least two things: The block placement will just be rejected and you just get client-side ghost blocks, or some anti-cheat system flags that as cheating and auto-bans you from the server. So before using Easy Place, find out of it's allowed on the server!

If you have Optifine...

In general I don't recommend using Optifine (with Litematica, or otherwise) due to the various rendering issues it causes. Instead I would recommend using Sodium and/or Iris if you want shaders.

If you have Optifine installed, then there are some options that you most likely will need to disable in Optifine, or otherwise it will break the schematic rendering:

• If you get glitchy weird triangles, then in 1.16+ first try updating to the latest Litematica version. If that doesn't work, then set shaders to OFF (not Internal) and restart the game.
• Render Regions probably needs to be disabled to prevent weird rendering issues (the schematic partially rendering in weird places)
• Fast Render might also need to be disabled if there are still some weird HUD/GUI rendering issues

Documentation

There is a wiki. The wiki is still being worked on, and it will probably have a new address at some point (or rather there will be a new wiki in a new location with a lot more coverage).
