How can I convert .litematic files to .nbt files
DoctorIDD opened this issue · 8 comments
Create Mod can only read .nbt files,
I have many .litematic files but they can't be printed by schematicannon
Please tell me how to convert .litematic files to .nbt files
I don't want to create a world and print .litematic file then use structure block to save to a .nbt file
You can convert them via the Schematic Manager menu. Select your *.litematic file, and then two buttons will appear at the bottom: Save As: and Schematic / Vanilla. First click on the second button so that it says Vanilla, and then click on Save As:.
And yes this user interface is super janky. It has been re-done long ago in the 1.12.2 version, but all the 1.13+ versions still enjoy super old main development code from June 2019 :(
It works, but the .nbt files that be converted are very big.
All in all, thank you for your reply :D
The vanilla structure template format is very memory-inefficient, so if you have large schematics, then yes the *.nbt files will be very large in comparison to all the other schematic formats.
the thing is create only take nbt file, and there is a file size limit. So if anyone has a fix for that, it would be great haha! I'm still looking for one from my side...
If there is a size limit, then it's a size limit of whatever is reading in the NBT file.
@doriandel How does the limit present itself? Does Create just give an error message? What does it say exactly, is it about the file/data size, or the dimensions of the schematic (width/height/length)? One obvious solution for size limits is to save the build in multiple smaller pieces...
@maruohon It seems that it is only a "server rule" to not exceed a specific file size, so I guess it should be fine if I ask the admin to play with the config. I will update with a new comment after that!
