  3. Press Win + R, type %appdata%\.minecraft and open the mods folder (create it if missing).
  4. Drop both jar files into mods. Do not unzip them.
  5. Open the Minecraft Launcher, choose the fabric-loader profile and press Play.
  6. In a world, press M. If the Litematica main menu opens, you are done.

Troubleshooting

Common errors and the fixes that solve them, plus known issues and performance tips.

Game crashes on start with a missing MaLiLib error

Litematica cannot run on its own. Download MaLiLib for the exact same Minecraft version and put it in the same mods folder, then restart.

Pressing M does nothing

Make sure you launched the Fabric profile, not vanilla. If another mod uses M, rebind the main menu key under Configuration, Hotkeys.

The hologram is invisible

Rendering may be toggled off. Press M + R, or open the placement and check that rendering is enabled for it.

Blocks face the wrong way

Easy Place and manual placement depend on where you look. Enable Easy Place so the mod sets facing and states for you.

Schematic loads in the wrong spot

Open Schematic Placements and type the exact origin coordinates, then lock the placement so it stops moving.

FPS drops with large builds

Render one layer or a range instead of everything, lower render distance and turn off overlay rendering for finished parts.

Known issues

  • Some shader packs can hide or tint holograms.
  • Very old .schematic files may use legacy block IDs.
  • Printer add-ons are unofficial and may lag behind releases.

Performance tips

  • Render one layer or a small range.
  • Hide overlays on finished parts.
  • Lower render distance while building.
  • Allocate 4 GB RAM on 8 GB systems.
