SCHEMATICRAFT

Convert .litematic to .schematic online, free

Drop your .litematic here, check what carries over, and download a .schematic for MCEdit. Free, and your file is never stored.

Schematicraft converts Litematica .litematic files to .schematic files for MCEdit, written for Java 1.7.10, 1.8.9, 1.9.4, 1.10.2, 1.11.2 or 1.12.2. Blocks, chests, signs and mobs carry over. Separate regions are merged into one, and scheduled block and fluid ticks are dropped, and modern block states are mapped down to legacy IDs where an equivalent exists.

The blocks carry over. Some data does not.

Checked against other tools
  • Every block
  • Chests, signs and other block entities
  • Mobs, item frames and armor stands
  • Separate regions, which are merged into one Not stored in .schematic
  • Scheduled block and fluid ticks Not stored in .schematic
  • Modern block states, which are mapped down to legacy IDs where an equivalent exists Not stored in .schematic

Blocks added after Minecraft 1.12 have no legacy ID, so they are left out.

Convert your file

Convert to

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

After you convert: load it with WorldEdit or an older editor

  1. Put the file in WorldEdit's schematics folder.

    On a server, plugins/WorldEdit/schematics, or plugins/FastAsyncWorldEdit/schematics for FAWE. In single player with the mod, config/worldedit/schematics.

  2. Load and paste it.

    //schem load castle

    Current WorldEdit still reads the legacy format.

  3. Or open it in an older tool.

    MCEdit and Schematica, for Minecraft 1.12 and older, open .schematic files as they are.

What each format can store

Data .litematic .schematic Result
Block states Yes Legacy IDs Mapped down
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 Yes Kept
  • This is a pre-1.13 format. Modern block states are mapped down to numeric IDs plus data values, and states with no legacy equivalent cannot be represented.
  • Blocks added after 1.12 have no numeric ID and will not survive the round trip.

Common questions

How do I convert a .litematic to a .schematic?
Drop the .litematic on this page, pick the Java release you play on, 1.7.10, 1.8.9, 1.9.4, 1.10.2, 1.11.2 or 1.12.2, and download the .schematic for MCEdit.
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.
What does it drop?
A .schematic holds one region, so separate regions are merged into one. Scheduled block and fluid ticks are dropped. Modern block states are mapped down to legacy IDs where an equivalent exists.
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
My file is from a newer release. Will it load in an older one?
Pick the release you play on. A .schematic stores legacy block IDs, so a block that release has is written for it and a block it does not have is replaced with the closest one or listed in the report.
