Minecraft Create Mod Tutorial – How to Use Schematics and Schematicannon Ep 13

Hey everyone welcome back to part 13 of my create mod series now today we’re going to go over on how to use schematics and the schematic cannon if you enjoyed this video definitely feel free to drop a like and feel free to subscribe as i upload a ton of create mod content

This video is going to be broken up into kind of two different sections the first section is going to be everything inside of minecraft and the second section is going to be everything on your desktop so i’m going to show you where schematics are actually saved

And then you can take those files and email them send them a discord or send them to your friends and they can actually take uh your designs and put them inside of their world so that’s going to be how this video is going to be broken up but anyways let’s

Jump into the video so the first thing that we’re going to craft is an empty schematic now this is not going to be too useful until we make a schematic a schematic table but it is a design that we’re going to use a lot in the

Beginning so it’s a piece of paper and a piece of light blue dye and basically it turns just like this the light blue dye piece of paper turns into an empty schematic now again we’re not going to use this until we get our schematic table but it is

Used in the crafting recipe of the schematic and quill which the schematic and quill is a piece of empty schematic and a feather placed just like this and it creates a schematic and quill now this is going to allow you to save your designs while the empty schematic is going to be

A way of pulling your designs from your your schematics folder on your computer and bringing them into the game now if we take the schematic and quill and we right click on one position and we right click on a second position it’s now going to select

This entire area that i i’ve tried to select now that being said this is very similar to world edit if you’ve used it where they use the wand or the wooden axe so if you’ve used world edit this is going to be very similar once you’ve uh selected your design

You’re simply going to right click and we’ll just call this one uh demo and now you can see that i have schematic demo saved in here there’s a couple different options first is discard this is just not going to save the schematic the second one is save and then this is

Save and deploy immediately this will allow you to immediately save and then you can immediately start deploying uh this design where you would like in your world this is mostly used for creative for now i’m not going to use it because we’re going to save it use a schematic

Table to then pull it into the world and so on but you can use that if you’d like to skip a step now it’s downside it’s been saved now there’s a couple other controls that i want to run over one of these is you can see

As i’m looking on the ground this is where the position is going to be set if you want to set a position in the sky you hold down left control and you can scroll wheel to select your position that you would like now let me select just some random position like this and

This is obviously something i don’t want to save if you want to cancel that you’re going to hold left shift and right click and that removes your selection so now that we’ve messed around with our schematic and quill let’s go ahead and show on how to pull a

Schematic out of our schematics folder on our computer so what we’re going to need is three oak slabs and two smooth stone um and these can be any types of slabs essentially you build it into the shape of like a t and then it turns into the

Schematic table now when you place the schematic table it’s just gonna look like a table but when you open it up if you put your mouse or your cursor over this little box you can actually scroll wheel between all of your designs that you have in here now you can see that demo

Is the one that i would like to pull out so i’m going to take an empty schematic place it inside the schematic table and hit the check mark to go ahead and create it now you can also refresh your files so let’s say you drag one in there click refresh and it’ll

Refresh it into this design or you can click this button to actually open your specific folder of where the schematics are saved this is super helpful if you’re using a mod pack in like uh the forge launcher or something like that because this is no longer going to be your dot minecraft folder

Uh but i am going to show you on how to find this folder just in case uh you don’t use this button anyways though if you have your empty schematic you can click the check mark and it’s going to turn into the schematic that you have chosen so you

Can see in the yellow text it now says demo.mbt and that means that we have the demo schematic so now you can see that there’s kind of like a highlighted position of where where this design is going to be placed so let’s say i want to deploy

It right here so i’m going to right click and it’s now going to kind of place a transparent version of our design so let’s say i’m not happy with where this thing has been placed there’s ways to change this now let’s go over some of the controls so

The first thing if you hold left alt you can scroll wheel through all these different options that you have now one of them you might not have is print that’s going to be only available if you’re in creative mode if you’re in survival you do not have that because

You need to use the schematic canon but we’ll we’ll get to that so let’s first start with moving x and z so that’s if you hold left control you can scroll wheel and you can change the uh basically the direction horizontally so you can see it’s going basically

Forward and backwards uh then if you hold left alt and you go to move y you can now hold left control and you can make it so it goes up and down so you can again adjust your design if you’re a couple blocks off if you hold left and we go to deploy

Essentially deploy is um you’re going to right click and it’s going to place where you would like your design so that’s what we did right in the beginning this is you need to deploy your design before you put it in the schematic cannon um and we’ve already done that so

We can skip that step now if you go whoops if you go to the next one by holding alt we can go to rotate and we can hold down left control and scroll wheel and we can actually rotate our design if we had it facing the wrong direction

We can hold alt and we can scroll wheel we can actually flip our design under the flip tab and then our last one is a print and this is only in creative mode and essentially if you right click it’s going to immediately build your entire design now this is

Only in creative mode because of course in survival mode you don’t have these blocks but let’s go ahead and deploy a new design so we’re just going to right click here and now we have our design deployed we now need to place this thing inside of a schematic cannon

In order to actually build this thing so let’s open the schematic cannon uh materials that we need it’s one cauldron two logs a dispenser block of iron and two smooth stone and then you are going to need some gunpowder and i recommend a book in order to uh use the schematic cannon so

If we open the schematic canning recipe it’s two logs a cauldron dispenser the tooth new stone and a block of iron and it creates a schematic cannon now you could place this anywhere as long as it’s relatively close to the design that you are trying to build so we’ll place it right here

Now it is facing the wrong direction that’s totally fine it will fix itself once we uh place a chest nearby so let’s go ahead and open the schematic cannon and there’s a lot of options that are here so let me run through everything that you’re looking at

So the first thing that you are going to want to do is take your gunpowder and take your book and let’s take our schematic that we have created and we’ve set the deploying area we’re going to place it inside the schematic block area we’re then going to take a book and

We’re going to place it in the top right hand corner and that will give us a material checklist now this material checklist will tell you exactly what kind of blocks you need and how many blocks you need in order to design this entire entire design that you have saved so we

Need 27 light blue walls so let’s go ahead and grab that really quick uh so if we click through that there we go we have 27 light blue wool and let’s grab a chest as well if we place our chest next to our machine and we take our wool and we

Throw it all in there we can now open this up and now the one thing that is missing is gunpowder so let’s throw our gunpowder inside and you can see it’s now loaded up now we have a couple other options this is the play pause and stop button for now

We’re gonna we’re just gonna wait for that you also have some printer settings in here so we’ve opened up these show printer settings so let’s run through what is going on in here now all of these you can hold shift to learn more about them and it’ll

Tell you if it’s enabled or disabled at the moment a lot of these is like don’t replace solid blocks so if blocks are already there don’t replace them uh replace solid blocks with solid blocks replace solid blocks with absolutely anything that’s inside of the schematic which is what it’s currently set to or

Replace all the solid blocks with absolutely nothing um in here you can actually skip missing blocks so let’s say you want to make your design now but you want to just skip out on parts that you’re missing you can actually select that and it will skip all the blocks that you’re missing

And there’s also protectile entities so that it’ll avoid uh replacing data holding blocks like chess and stuff like that so once you have all your settings uh all signed up you can go ahead and hit the start button and it will begin shooting your design to build it for you

Now again if this end thing ends up stopping that means that it doesn’t have the next block that it needs so you can either change that setting so it skips right over it or you can open the chest and throw the blocks that you need in there

But there we go now that the canon has been finished you can see that it’s put our schematic into an empty schematic again so that we can use it again at the schematic table if we’d like but you can see that it has created our design so this is super useful

For if you’re creating a very complex design in creative mode and you’d like it in your survival world you can create it in creative save it as a schematic build your schematic cannon and your schematic table bring it into your survival world and simply just build it if you have the

Blocks it’s very a very nice system now that being said let’s hop into my desktop so i can show you where these schematics are saved and how you would send these to your friends so now i’m on my desktop now i’m going to be using a windows desktop this should be very similar

To uh if you’re using like a mac or linux or unix but if there is any kind of discrepancies anything that you are not too much sure about feel free to hop in my discord or leave a comment and i can try to walk you through it

I know a majority of the operating system so i should be able to help you out but on windows you’re simply going to go to your search bar and you’re going to type in run now you’re going to get this run application and it’s going to bring up

A nice little area right here where you’re able to type the name of a program folder documents whatever you’re going to type in percent app data percent now this looks really weird but this is going to allow us to get into the app data files on your computer

Uh it’s completely safe this is also in how you can install like resource packs and mods and stuff i assume you know where this is but if not you’re going to go ahead and click ok and it’s going to pop up with all of your different files right in

Here and we’re going to open up dot minecraft and now you’re going to have a bunch of different folders some of these might even be different than what i have but in summary you’re going to look for the schematics folder right in here and you’re going to open that up

Now once you have opened this up you’re going to actually see all of your schematics that you currently have saved so right in here you can actually simply right click and copy a design that you’re looking for that you want to send to your friends

And then you can copy it send it in email send it over discord send it absolutely anywhere same thing this is also where you place your designs in here if you would like to bring a design into here now if you if this does not work like let’s say you

Open up your minecraft you open it up and there’s no schematic still that means your dot minecraft folder is not actually linked to this one uh best way to find that is to right click on your modpack or something and see where the modpacks folders are and then from there you can

Find a schematics folder and drag your files into there if you need any help with that again i recommend hopping on discord i recommend you leave a comment anything along those lines and i can walk you through it but uh yeah there you go thank you guys so much for watching this
