Schematica

The Schematica mod shows you a hologram that can be used to rebuild or print an existing build from a schematic. However, the server must have the Badlion Client Mod API plugin installed and configured to allow the Schematica printer.

How to enable Schematica

  • Press ESC on your keyboard and click the "Mods" button to open the mods menu.

  • Enable the mod by clicking the toggle button and then click on the mod to open its settings.
    If it does not let you enable the mod, the server you are playing on has disabled the mod on their side. In that case, you cannot use the mod at all.

Explaining Schematica mod settings

1. Load key - You can use this setting to change the keybind for the menu where you can see and load your schematic files from.

2. Move key - You can use this setting to change the keybind for the menu where you can change the position of the loaded schematic, enable/disable the printer mode and see a list of materials needed to finish the loaded schematic file. Please remember that you first need to load your schematic to access this menu.

3. Export key - You can use this setting to change the keybind for the menu where you can create your own schematic files straight from your world or server.

4. Enable Alpha - You can use this setting to enable the Alpha-level adjustment bar.

5. Alpha - You can use this setting to change the opacity of the hologram. Leaving it disabled would make the hologram at 100% opacity at all times.

6. Highlight - You can use this setting to toggle the highlight settings underneath.

7. Highlight Air - You can use this setting to change the air to blue holograms.

8. Block Delta - You can use this setting to configure the value used for highlighting to prevent z-fighting. Z-fighting is a phenomenon that occurs if there are two textures on each other causing flashes.

9. Render Distance - You can use this setting to configure the number of chunks being rendered, but using a high value might lower your FPS.

10. Place Delay - You can use this setting to configure the interval between placing block sessions; the lower this amount, the fast the printer option will place blocks.

11. Timeout - You can use this setting to configure the amount of time before retrying to place a block.

12. Place Distance - You can use this setting to configure how far the printer will print out blocks for you.

13. Place Instantly - You can use this setting to make the printer place all blocks that can be placed within one tick.

14. Destroy Blocks - You can use this setting to allow the printer to remove misplaced blocks using the fist or tools.

15. Destroy Instantly - You can use this setting to allow the printer to remove misplaced blocks instantly, but it is only effective in Creative mode.

16. Place Adjacent - You can use this setting to only print a block if there is already a placed block next to it.
