FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

A schematic file (.mts) is used to import building(s) into a world with WorldEdit.
This file can be found into the “worlds/<my_world>/schems” folder.

• How to create a schematic file :
  
  1. Enter in your world (with WorldEdit enabled).
  2. Grant yourself all privileges : /grant singleplayer all¹.
  3. Press F5 to display the coordinates.
  4. Select the area to export with : //pos1 and //pos2.
  5. Create your schematic file with : //mtschemcreate <name of your schematic file>.
  
  Your schematic will appears into the “worlds/<my_world>/schems" folder.

You only have to type the grant command the first time.
Maybe you should say that?

If these are different worlds, no. This tutorial explain in this case. Export / import a schem is often in this case.

Unless you've already been on the second world before.

You can also use my handle_schematics mod for saving and importing schematics. Just install it and type /giveme handle_schematics:build 99 and put the chest somewhere.

Maybe you should add instructions on how to undo the import,
e.g. when the placement was wrong, or it damaged something.

Hi,

To avoid accidents of import, I got used to test above ground (in altitude) beforehand.
This will mark import sense, once that's done, I remove the import test and I can proceed to import at ground safely.

That's where the build chest from my handle_schematics mod comes in really handy. Not only does it rotate the building the way you expect it (i.e. you'll always face the same side and don't have to manually rotate it) - it will also create a backup of the landscape so that placement of schematics can be undone.
