Schematic Command¶

The /schem command allows you to select areas of your world and save them as .mcaschem files to use in your Blender projects.

Making a Selection¶

Before exporting, you need to select the area you want to save. Ideally, you should select the two opposite corners of the structure you want to export:

Equip a Blaze Rod in your main hand.
Left-click on a block to set the first position.
Right-click on another block to set the second position.

Exporting¶

/schem save <name> [filter]: Saves the selected area as a .mcaschem file in your current_world/.mcanimaker/schematics directory. Once created, the schematic will automatically be available in Blender.

Using Filters¶

The [filter] argument is optional and helps you choose exactly what blocks get exported.

Include: Exports only the specified blocks.
- Example: If you only want to export a few reference blocks for a camera setup, you can use /schem save camera_setup gold_block. This ensures that only gold_block IDs are included in the .mcaschem file.
Exclude: Add an exclamation mark ! before the word to exclude it.
- Example: Let's say you placed some red wool just to help you easily select the area, but you don't want them in the final file. You can use /schem save cool_build !red_wool. This will export everything except the red_wool.

Multiple Filters

For even more control, you can add multiple blocks to the filter by separating their IDs with a comma. This works for both include and exclude rules.

Include: /schem save reference_blocks gold_block,diamond_block,emerald_block
Exclude: /schem save no_red_blocks !red_wool,red_concrete,redstone_block

Export Limit & Stats

To prevent performance issues, there is a hard limit of 1000 blocks per schematic. If your selection is larger than this, the export will fail. Please note that this limit may change in future updates.

To help you track this, your Action Bar will display the total number of blocks and entities inside your area while you are holding the Blaze Rod with a valid selection.
