Convert .litematic to .nbt online, free

Drop your .litematic here, check what carries over, and download a .nbt for structure blocks or the Create mod. Free, and your file is never stored.

Schematicraft converts Litematica .litematic files to .nbt files for structure blocks or the Create mod, written for the Java release you pick. Blocks, chests, signs and mobs carry over. Separate regions are merged into one, and scheduled block and fluid ticks are dropped.

Convert your file

Convert to

We record formats, blocks and versions, never your file.

After you convert: load it with a structure block or Create

  1. For a structure block, put it in your world.

    /place template minecraft:castle

    Use the world's generated/minecraft/structures folder. Place it with the command, or with a structure block in Load mode named minecraft:castle.

  2. For Create, put it in your schematics folder.

    That is .minecraft/schematics. Pick it at a Schematic Table, then print it with a Schematicannon.

What each format can store

Data .litematic .nbt Result
Block states Yes Yes Kept
Block entities Yes Yes Kept
Entities Yes Yes Kept
Biomes No No In neither
Multiple regions Yes No Dropped
Scheduled ticks Yes No Dropped
Paste origin Yes No Dropped
  • The vanilla structure format is read by structure blocks and the Create mod.
  • Structure blocks impose a 48 block limit per axis in vanilla; larger builds load in third-party tools but not through a structure block.

Common questions

How do I convert a .litematic to a .nbt?
Drop the .litematic on this page, pick Structure block or Create and the release you play on, and download the .nbt.
Does it keep chests and entities?
Yes. Chest contents, sign text and other block entities carry over, and so do mobs, item frames and armor stands.
Can I use it with the Create mod?
Yes. Create loads a schematic only at the Minecraft version it was written for. We write the .nbt at the version you pick, so pick the one your modpack runs: 1.14.4, 1.15.2, 1.16.5, 1.18, 1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 or 1.21.1.
What does it drop?
A .nbt 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
