How to Use Litematica With MinePilot Layer Guides
MinePilot pages give you a schematic download, material list, and layer preview. Litematica gives you the in-game ghost build. Together, they make survival-friendly planning much less painful.
1. Download the schematic
Open any MinePilot build page and download the protected .schem file. Keep the build page open so you can reference the material list and early layers while placing it.
2. Put the file in your schematics folder
Litematica normally reads schematics from your Minecraft instance's schematicsfolder. The exact path depends on launcher and profile, but it is usually inside your.minecraft directory.
3. Load and place the ghost build
- Open Minecraft Java Edition with Litematica installed.
- Open the Litematica menu, choose Load Schematic, and select the MinePilot file.
- Move the placement until the footprint fits your terrain.
- Use MinePilot's dimensions and first few layers to confirm orientation before building.
4. Build layer by layer
MinePilot's layer guide groups blocks by Y level. Start at the lowest visible layer, gather the listed materials, then work upward. For survival builds, this keeps scaffolding and resource trips under control.
