How to export a schematic
from your Minecraft world

Three popular methods to turn your in-game builds into uploadable files.

WORLDEDIT

Using WorldEdit (Java Edition)

WorldEdit is the most popular way to export builds. It works on both servers and single-player with Forge/Fabric.

1

Install WorldEdit

Download WorldEdit from CurseForge and place the .jar file in your mods/ folder (Fabric/Forge) or plugins/ folder (server).

2

Select your build

Stand at one corner of your build. Use a wooden axe (WorldEdit wand) and left-click the first corner block, then right-click the opposite corner block.

🪓
Left-click → Set Position 1 (bottom corner)
Right-click → Set Position 2 (top corner)
Or type: //pos1 and //pos2
3

Copy the selection

Type the following command in chat:

📋
//copy
This copies the selected region to your clipboard.
4

Save as schematic

Type the following to save the clipboard to a file:

💾
//schematic save myBuild
Saves to: .minecraft/config/worldedit/schematics/myBuild.schem
5

Upload to DayToy

Find the .schem file in the schematics folder and drag it into our converter.

LITEMATICA

Using Litematica (Fabric)

Litematica is a client-side Fabric mod with a visual GUI — great for precise selections without server-side mods.

1

Install Litematica

Install Fabric Loader + Litematica + MaLiLib (required dependency) from CurseForge.

2

Enter Area Selection mode

Press M to open the Litematica menu, then switch the tool mode to Area Selection.

3

Select two corners

Use the selection tool: press Left-click on corner 1 and Right-click on corner 2. The selection box will highlight in blue.

4

Save as .litematic

Press M → Save Schematic, name your file, and click Save.

📦
Saves to: .minecraft/schematics/yourBuild.litematic
AMULET

Using Amulet Editor (External Tool)

Amulet is a standalone world editor that works with both Java and Bedrock worlds — no mods needed.

1

Download & Install Amulet

Download Amulet from amuletmc.com. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

2

Open your world

Launch Amulet → Open World → navigate to your .minecraft/saves/ folder and select your world.

3

Select & Export

Use the 3D selection tool to box your build, then go to File → Export → Construction/Schematic and save the file.

💡

Tip: Amulet is ideal for Bedrock Edition players, since WorldEdit and Litematica only support Java Edition.
