- Generic tips:
- - Main menu by default is M (when released)
- - The in-game configs menu is M + C
- - The Area Selections menu is M + S
- - The Schematic Placements menu is M + P
- - Configuration GUI is numpad subtract, when having "a thing" selected (area selection, or schematic placement)
- - When using the tool to place corners, you can sneak to inset the position inside the targeted block, instead of adjacent to it
- - When having something (a box, corner, or placement) selected, you can hold the "Nudge modifier" (left Alt by default) and scroll while holding the tool (in the appropriate mode)
- to nudge around the selected element in the player's looking direction
- - There is another modifier, the "Grab modifier" which moves the entire area selection when having the origin selected
- Quick tutorial for creating a schematic:
- - Get a "tool item", by default that's a stick, you can change it in the Generic configs to whatever item
- - Ctrl + scroll while holding that item to change to the Area Selection mode [1/7]
- - M + S (or via the main menu) to open the Area Selection GUI
- - Select an existing one, or create a new selection - that name will also be used for the saved schematic by default
- - Now that you have a selection, M + A adds the first box
- - With the first box, you also get the origin point moved to your position, and the origin is selected by default (the origin is the orange box when unselected
- - Any selected element/corner is cyan/light blue/whatever
- - First move that origin point to a suitable place (left click), then middle click the red box to select it
- - Left/right click and/or left Alt + scroll to place/move the selections around, middle click with the tool to select elements or corners
- - Left click moves the "first/primary" red corner, right click the second corner (blue) when you have a sub-region box or corner selected
- - M + A to add more "sub-region boxes" if needed, again middle/left/right click to select and move stuff
- - Hit numpad subtract to rename the selected sub-region box, if needed
- - These sub-region names can NOT be renamed later, and they will be used for the schematic sub-regions, so descriptive names are nice at least for technical contraptions
- - Hit Ctrl + S to save it as a schematic to file
- - Or Ctrl + Alt + S to only save it as a temporary in-memory-only schematic
- About creating or importing schematics:
- - One option is to convert an existing Schematica schematic using the Schematic Manager menu to "Import" it - this will save it in the Litematica format
- > The imported schematics have the downside that they, as the original schematic as well, only have one huge sub-region box around the entire thing
- > These also won't have any inventory contents saved, at least if the original schematic was made with Schematica
- > MCEdit does save the inventories, I'm pretty sure
- - The best way to get a Litematica schematic (unless one is available for download already obviously...)
- is to create one from a world download, or use MCEdit to place the original non-Litematica schematic to a temporary world
- - Making a proper Litematica schematic from a world download (or pasting the original with MCEdit to a temp world) allows you to use sub-regions
- to capture "tightly grouped"/individual parts of the contraption, and to name those sub-regions appropriately
- > May be useful if you want to disable some sub-regions while building stuff
- - Making a Litematica schematic (in single player!) also allows properly storing all inventory contents, which will be visible in the info overlay
- ... assuming of course that the inventory contents are in-tact in the first place.
- > So the best way is to make the schematic from a world download
- > Or equally viable is placing a schematic that was originally made with MCEdit into a temporary world using MCEdit - it should also have the inventory contents
- > If you only have a schematic, and the original schematic was made with Schematica, then the inventory contents are not available
- Schematic Placements:
- - Load a schematic to memory via the Load Schematics menu
- - It's highly recommended to load Litematica schematics instead of directly Schematica schematics
- > ... at least if you want the Placement to be persistent between logins or changing the dimension (using portals)
- > Schematica schematics will get converted into in-memory Litematica shematics when loaded directly
- > But them being in-memory-only, they are not persistent, as isn't the Placement if you log out or use a portal
- > This on-the-fly conversion is also orders of magnitude slower than just loading a Litematica schematic
- - Tick the Create Placement checkbox to also automatically immediately create a placement of that schematic
- - Otherwise, after loading it, go to the Loaded Schematics menu and hit Create Placement for the schematic you want to create a placement for on the list
- > Loaded schematics are a different concept from the "placements" that you create from them
- > You can create an arbitrary number of placements from a single loaded schematic
- > A placement has the position and rotation information etc. and refers to a specific schematic as teh source
- - You can change the selected placement and get to the configuration GUI of the placement via the Schematic Placements menu
- - Alternatively in the Schematic Placement tool mode [2/7] you can middle click while pointing at the origin box to select the entire placement, or select an individual sub-region by pointing at the sub-region box and middle click with the tool
- - (By default) numpad subtract opens the Placement Configuration GUI
- > Note that this exists and is separate both for the entire Placement, and the individual sub-regions of that schematic/placement
- > Which GUI opens depends on what you have selected, but you can also navigate between them in the GUI
- - It's possible to move or rotate or disable individual sub-regions
- > The config GUI for the entire placement has an indication for when some of the sub-regions have been "modified" (= moved, rotated, disabled)
- > That indication is the "Reset sub-regions" button being enabled and in orange text
