What are Minecraft schematics?


Minecraft SCHEMATIC files are files that save a selection of blocks.
The file format was created to store sections of a Minecraft world. With the release of Minecraft Java Edition 1.13, the .SCHEMATIC files were replaced by .SCHEM files.

What can I use a Minecraft schematic for?


Minecraft schematics can be used to transfer parts of Minecraft worlds. It's, for example, an easy way to move a build (without using a Minecraft world file) from one server to another. Schematics can be easily pasted into your desired world via WorldEdit or MCEdit. These programs/plugins can be downloaded from the web and can be used for free. These are the reasons why our sellers are using the schematics format. Furthermore, you can use Schematics in third-party programs such as MCEdit, Minecraft Note Block Studio, Redstone Simulator, WorldEdit, and Schematica.
