Hi, I cannot find the schematic file that Litematica is supposed to save to. I know it should normally be in .minecraft, but it's not in there, so IDK where my schematics are or where I should add my .nbt files. Thank you for reading this, and if anyone else has this problem or solution, do tell me, please. Or if you don't know where they could be, can you at least tell me how I can find those schematics in the files?

@uri2444 You gave basically zero information. How am I supposed to know based on that what you have done and what is actually happening? What type of schematics do you have? Do they show up in the Load Schematics menu? Is it only when trying to click on one (or load one) that you get an error? What is the exact error message?

commented

So I have tried to follow along with everything here but still cannot find the schematics folder anywhere my resourcepacks folder is empty

2024-02-19 03_47_27-Command Prompt

If you are able to save schematics and just don't know where they are then do the following:

  1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run Dialog
  2. Enter cmd and hit enter
  3. At the command prompt type "cd \" and hit enter
  4. Enter "dir /s /b *.litematic" and hit enter (in the attached screen shot I used a more specific file name to limit the results since I have a LOT of schematics)
  5. If results are returned check the folder(s) listed.
  6. If results are not returned but you have multiple hard drives type "d:" (or whatever the next additional drive you have is) and repeat from step 3.

In Linux you can go to a terminal prompt and do the following instead:

  1. Type "cd /" and hit enter
  2. Type 'find -iname "*.litematic" -print' and hit enter (the -print is probably not required but should be harmless)
  3. Again, examine any folders returned

thanks!

I have checked that too :) some files are .nbt and some are .schematic. There are two .nbt files that are in the folder, and three .schematic. The only thing is I can't see the newer three .nbt files I put in the folder. They're all lower case.

commented

Hello! I'm having an issue with Litematica (I use Curseforge). I'm putting .nbt files into my schematics folder (the one through resource packs) and they aren't appearing in the game menu. Out of the 8 .nbts currently in the folder, only 5 are visible in-game. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Curseforge, if it just randomly stopped working, but I would like to get the issue fixed (if possible!!). Thanks for any advice!
EDIT: I first noticed the problem about a week ago. The schematics I see in-game were put there before then

commented

@s1lverm00n If you are for sure putting them to the correct Minecraft instance's schematics directory, then check the file names. Litematica requires the file name extensions to be all lower case, otherwise it won't list the files at all.

commented

UPDATE: just figured it out, I'm a big dumb idiot LOL

commented

i dont have a schematics folder in .minecraft

commented

@imbigmanburger Is the mod loaded, does it show up in the Mod Menu list or do you see the orange Litematica text on the F3 screen? The mod should create the directory when you launch the game, if it doesn't exist yet.

commented

yeah its loaded right but theres no folder

commented

commented

That doesn't look like the correct .minecraft instance directory, since there are for example no mods/ and config/ directories either.

commented

its the only one

commented

any shortcut i can type?

commented

Open the Resource Packs menu, and then click on Open Folder.

(In future versions you can also open the schematic directory directly via all the schematic browser menus, but that code is currently still only in the 1.12.2 version.)

commented

what do i do after that

commented

wha

commented

im so confused

commented

when i open it what is meant to happen

commented

Go up one directory and then you are in the correct .minecraft directory used by that instance.

commented

I FOUND IT

commented

I think...

Can you please stop spamming useless short messages in GitHub issues. I get an email and a Discord bot notification for each message. And any other people still subscribed to this issue report will also receive those emails. If you need more help, maybe join my Discord server.

oh ok sorry

commented

hello,i got the litematica mod and i'm trying to import a schematic but there's no schematics folder in .minecraft, i tried the previous step here but it doesn't work for me,so is there another solution? or am i just misunderstanding it?

commented

@Timmotyboi How does it not work? Does your file manager not open when you click on Open Folder in the Resource Packs menu? Which operating system are you using, and which Minecraft launcher are you using?

commented

hello, ive been trying the stuff discused here but i got absolutely nothing, this is all i got so idk what is wrong

commented

so i decided to fuck around and find out and made my own file called schematics to see if it would solve the issue but no

commented

i checked in resourcepacks and there was nothing. also im using curseforge with fabric on 1.20.1 for this idk if it changes anything

commented

oh wait no i found it forget it

commented

i made this account rn just for this question and it did absolutely nothing lmao, anyway bye

commented

where do i save my schematic to

commented

@Josh6589 In the schematics directory inside your game directory. If your launcher uses a different location than the vanilla launcher and you don't know where it is, you can use the resource packs menu to find it, see my above comments.

commented

ok so ive tried everything in this thread and i simply can not find it like its not in my resourcepacks and im in the right .minecraft

@NikkiGem2525 You are not looking in the correct instance directory. There isn't even a mods directory in that .minecraft directory. In your game instance that has the mod installed, go to the Resource Packs menu, click Open Folder, and then go from that resource packs directory one directory up. And there you should see both the mods directory and the schematics directory.

commented

so uh its empty also please in simple words as im new to all this and im not that smart

thank you!!!!! it was hard for no reason omg i was literally about to give up

commented

It's not inside the resource packs directory, it's just a way to open the file manager to the correct instance directory.

So yesterday I was trying to dowload the liteschematica schematic tool guide, and while I was doing the I realized shortly after that there was no schematics folder in my .minecraft folder, so can someone please help me!!!

commented

@Minecraftside Is the mod loaded and working? Your launcher/profile probably isn't using this directory for the game instance you are playing. In-game, go to the Resource Packs menu, click Open Folder, and then go from that resource packs directory one directory up, and the schematics directory should be there.

commented

Omg I was reading all the messages up when they were saying go to ur resource packs so I was doing it in %appdata% but I was not reading in-game super sorry for wasteing ur time @maruohon

commented

Was this issue resolved?

commented
commented

Well that's very odd. Was it a permission issue of some kind maybe? Which operating system are you on?

commented

The default schematic directory is .minecraft/schematics/.

Have you used different Minecraft instance/game directories before? Litematica remembers the last directory you had open in the file browser menus per-world, so if you copy over the config files to a different Minecraft instance, then it would still be pointing at the old directory. It's usually easy to see if that's the case, as the directory path in the file browser menu will then be pretty long as it's pointing to a long absolute path, instead of just in a relative location such as schematics > something. A quick way to fix that is to click on the "root directory" button in the file browser menu, and then it will jump to the current .minecraft/schematics/ directory for example.

so you're saying if I were to open a file titled "XYZ" and then save a schematic to Litematica, it would be stored in "XYZ" and not the named "schematic" file?

commented

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but no? I was just talking about how Litematica remembers the last directory you were at in the file browser menus such as the schematic saving menu. If you haven't had Litematica installed before, or you have never used other .minecraft directories, then don't worry about that, it would not apply in your case then.

Are you saying you don't have the schematics directory inside your .minecraft directory? Is Litematica loaded/working otherwise?
