Buildprint

See your build before you place a single block.

Buildprint ghosts any schematic into your world, tells you exactly what's missing, and can place it for you — block by block, survival-legal. A modern take on Litematica and Schematica, inspired by Axiom.

Why builders use it

• A real preview, not coloured boxes. Actual block models and states — glass, leaves, water, signs with their text, chests, mobs, modded blocks.
• Huge builds stay smooth. GPU-cached meshes draw several big schematics at full render distance, and quietly scale back instead of freezing.
• A live shopping list. What's placed, what's left, what's wrong — updating as you build.
• Colour-coded progress. Green = right, amber = wrong rotation, red = wrong block, purple = something that shouldn't be there.
• Swap any material. Don't like the wood? Click it in the list and build it out of something else. The ghost, the checklist and easy place all follow — your file is never touched.
• Fair in survival. It won't flag a half-grown crop or a lit furnace as a mistake you have to fix.

Let it build for you

Turn on easy place and right-click near the ghost — the exact block goes down, facing the right way. Normal placement, so it works in survival and never breaks what you've already built.

Hold right-click to sweep across cells. Middle-click to pick a block into your hand.

• The fiddly stuff — repeater ticks, candle counts, double slabs, open doors, sign text.
• Your tools — shovel, hoe, axe, flint & steel, borrowed from your inventory as needed.
• Things you can't hold — tall grass gets bone-mealed, crops planted from seed onto tilled soil.
• Crafters — slot locks and contents, without a screen ever popping open.
• Nether portals — lit the moment the frame is finished.
• Your inventory — blocks swap into your hand, stacks refill mid-build.
• Your build — it places past chests, never litters, never re-edits a block that's already right.

Easy place is off by default — bind a key or flip it in settings.

Make your own

Press B for the selection editor. Built for survival, where you can't just fly:

• Freecam — the camera flies, your body stays safe where it is.
• Select — click two blocks for a box; Shift-click for more regions.
• Resize, move, rotate, flip — drag colour-coded gizmos, snapped to blocks.
• Auto align — one click drops a loaded build onto the matching spot in your world.
• Save — blocks, block entities and entities to a .litematic, ghosted in place instantly.

Builds to start from

The Marketplace tab browses VoxelSprout schematics without leaving the game. Search, filter, open a listing for previews and block counts, then Download — or hit Place and have it ghosted into your world in one click. No account needed.

Browse the same catalogue on the web at voxelsprout.com → voxelsprout.com/marketplace.

Drop a file on the window, pick it from your files, or drop it in schematics/ — it shows up on its own.

On first launch Buildprint offers to import your placements and put your builds back where they were. Your files are left untouched.

Managing your builds

• Local — your schematics/ folder with folders, search, Recent and ★ Favourites, plus a spinnable 3D preview of whatever you select.
• Loaded — everything you've placed: toggle, rename, move, rotate, flip, slice to a layer, all updating live.
• Remembered — per world and per server. Your builds are waiting where you left them.

Build it together

Start a sync session and share the code. Everyone who joins sees the same builds ghosted in the same place — same position, rotation and flip, in the right dimension — and watches the progress move as the others work.

• A code and a link. Join from the mod, or from the link in your browser.
• Live progress. Placed, missing, wrong, extra, and what's still to gather — per build, with who reported it.
• Nobody needs the file. Turn on file sharing and the schematic travels with the session — anyone who doesn't have it gets it automatically.
• Your call who can move things. Guests can be allowed to add and reposition builds, or just watch.
• Join whenever. The session lives on the server, not on the host's client — turn up while everyone's offline and you'll still see the plan. Drops reconnect on their own.

No account needed. Still client-side, too: it works on any server, with no plugin and nothing for the server owner to install.

Find your materials — with Sorted

Sorted is an optional companion. Install it and the material list gains a Chests column — how much of each material is sitting in the containers Sorted has indexed for this world — and a magnifier button on every row that lights those chests up through walls. While they're lit the ghost and every overlay step aside for 20 seconds, so you're looking for a glowing chest instead of hunting for one behind a translucent building.

Chest counts stay in their own column rather than being folded into what you're carrying — the index is what Sorted last saw, so on a server it's a memory, not a guarantee, and the list says so.

Without Sorted the column simply doesn't exist. Nothing else changes.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.2+, Fabric Loader 0.16+
• Fabric API and YACL
• Mod Menu (optional) — to reach the settings screen in-game
• Sorted (optional) — chest locating and an In chests count in the material list

Client-side only. Works on any server you can join.
