- Coordinate ordering differs from every other supported format and is transformed on write.
Common questions
- How do I convert a .litematic to a .json?
- Drop the .litematic on this page, pick the Java release you play on, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1 or 26.1.2, and download the .json for Building Gadgets 2.
- Does it keep chests and entities?
- No. A .json cannot keep chest contents, sign text, mobs or other entities.
- Can I use it with Building Gadgets 2?
- Yes. Building Gadgets 2 loads a schematic only at the Minecraft version it was written for. We write the .json at the version you pick, so pick the one your modpack runs: 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1 or 26.1.2.
- What does it drop?
- Chest contents, sign text and spawner data are dropped. Mobs, item frames and armor stands are dropped. A .json holds one region, so separate regions are merged into one. Scheduled block and fluid ticks are dropped.
- Is it free, and do I need an account?
- Yes. Converting is free and needs no account. Your file isn't stored.
- Can I use the result on Bedrock?
- For Bedrock, convert the same file to a Bedrock structure instead: Convert .litematic to .mcstructure
