There's been a recent uptick in people wanting a correct tutorial on using schematics in Minecraft with WorldEdit, due to a few incorrect tutorials floating around the internet. WorldEdit is one of the easiest ways to import schematics into Minecraft.
If you're a developer and are looking for the tutorial on the API, see here.
WorldEdit stores schematics in the worldedit/schematics folder. On Bukkit-based servers, this is inside the plugins folder. On Forge and Fabric, this is inside the config folder. If the schematics folder doesn't exist, make a new folder named schematics
.
How to use a schematic file?
If you've downloaded a Minecraft schematic file and want to load it into your Minecraft world, do the following:
- Put the schematic file into your worldedit/schematics folder.
- Load it in-game using the
/schem load filename
command. - Stand where you want the schematic to appear, and run
//paste
. - If you've put it in the wrong place, you can use
//undo
and try again.
If you want to see all the available schematics, you can use the /schem list
command. This command also comes with a handy load button next to each schematic, which replaces the load command above.
How to make a schematic file?
If you've built something in Minecraft and want to save it to a schematic file to share with friends or the internet, do the following:
- Select the area you want to save, using WorldEdit's wand (a wooden axe, by default).
- Use the
//copy
command. - Save it to the file with the
/schem save filename
command. - Grab the schematic file that you made from the worldedit/schematics folder
