Method 1: WorldEdit (Recommended)

  1. Install WorldEdit mod or plugin for your server/client (Fabric, Forge, or Bukkit/Spigot).
  2. Download the .schem file from any MinePilot build page.
  3. Place the file in your Minecraft schematics folder:
    .../minecraft/config/worldedit/schematics/
  4. In-game, stand where you want the build, open chat, and run:
    //schem load build-name
    //paste
  5. Use //undo if you need to reposition.

Method 2: Litematica

  1. Install Litematica mod (Fabric).
  2. Download the .schem file and place it in:
    .../minecraft/schematics/
  3. In-game, open Litematica menu (default: M key).
  4. Click "Load Schematic" and select your file.
  5. Use "Schematic Placement" to position the ghost overlay.
  6. Build block-by-block following the overlay, or use "Easy Place Mode".

Method 3: Build Layer-by-Layer (Survival)

  1. Open any build page and check the Materials list — gather all required blocks first.
  2. Use the Layer Guide to plan materials for the displayed Y-levels. Some builds show a sampled overview.
  3. For block positions, open the build's 3D preview or Playground and inspect one layer at a time.

Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition (.mcstructure) export is not yet supported. MinePilot downloads use Sponge .schem for Minecraft Java Edition. Check each build’s compatibility and tested environment before importing; other versions are not verified.
