A client-side schematic mod with extra features for creative mode work
Description
Litematica is a modern schematic mod primarily targeting light mod loaders like LiteLoader on MC 1.12.x, Rift on MC 1.13.x and Fabric on MC 1.14+.
There is also a Forge version, but currently only for MC 1.12.2. For later MC versions there are currently only third party ports such as Forgematica.
Litematica has all the main features (plus a bunch more) of the old Schematica mod, except for the printer, which is not planned for Litematica itself, but instead is left to extension mods (see: aria1th printer or the other printer).
Compatibility with shaders
Litematica's rendering doesn't currently work properly with shaders (even with Iris) in 1.21.3+. So when you need to use Litematica (schematic rendering), disable shaders.
In older MC versions the rendering works better with shaders, at least with Iris, but also depending on the shader pack. Some shader packs break the rendering pretty badly, but some used to work pretty nicely. Optifine in general is/was a lot more problematic, pretty much you can't use shaders at all with Optifine if you use Litematica. The general recommendation is to use Sodium (and Iris) instead of Optifine.
Hotkeys
The default hotkey to open the Litematica main menu is M.
Note: If you use a non-QWERTY keyboard layout, then the keys may be different, such as M becoming , on AZERTY.
Other common default hotkeys:
- M + C - The direct hotkey to open the config menu
- M + R - Toggle ON/OFF ALL rendering from Litematica
- M + G - Toggle ON/OFF just schematic rendering ("ghost blocks" - all HUDs for example will still render)
- M + T - Toggle ON/OFF the "tool item" (which is by default a stick) functionality
- M + P - Directly open the Schematic Placements menu/list
- M + V - Open the Schematic Verifier menu
- Numpad minus - Open the placement configuration menu for the currently selected placement
- Numpad multiply - Open the Area Editor menu
- Page Up/Down - Change the selected layer in the render layers settings
- M + Page Up/Down - Change the render layers mode
- Ctrl + scroll (holding the tool) - Cycle the "tool mode" (there is also a button for this in the lower left corner of the main menu)
- Alt + scroll (holding the tool) - Nudge/move the selected placement or area selection box or corner (depending on the tool mode) in the direction the player is looking at
- Ctrl + M - Toggle or cycle the "sub-mode" or main setting of some of the "tool modes", such as pasteReplaceBehavior in Paste mode, the Corners vs. Expand behavior in Area Selection mode, or the Area vs. Placement behavior of the Delete mode
Warning for multiplayer
The Easy Place mode feature may get you banned on some servers!
The Easy Place feature will always be clicking on the target position's air block, and this can easily be detected by anti-cheat systems. So this can result in at least two things: The block placement will just be rejected and you just get client-side ghost blocks, or some anti-cheat system flags that as cheating and auto-bans you from the server. So before using Easy Place, find out of it's allowed on the server!
If you have Optifine...
In general I don't recommend using Optifine (with Litematica, or otherwise) due to the various rendering issues it causes. Instead I would recommend using Sodium and/or Iris if you want shaders.
If you have Optifine installed, then there are some options that you most likely will need to disable in Optifine, or otherwise it will break the schematic rendering:
- If you get glitchy weird triangles, then in 1.16+ first try updating to the latest Litematica version. If that doesn't work, then set shaders to OFF (not Internal) and restart the game.
- Render Regions probably needs to be disabled to prevent weird rendering issues (the schematic partially rendering in weird places)
- Fast Render might also need to be disabled if there are still some weird HUD/GUI rendering issues
Documentation
There is a wiki. The wiki is still being worked on, and it will probably have a new address at some point (or rather there will be a new wiki in a new location with a lot more coverage).

ABOUT THIS LISTING
This page describes Litematica by masa. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on Modrinth on 3 October 2026: https://modrinth.com/mod/litematica
Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.
The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements
Game version
26.3
MOD LOADER
This release is built for Fabric. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.
GAME VERSION
Built for Minecraft 26.3. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.
DEPENDENCIES
Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.
Installation
1. Install Fabric for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.
2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.
4. Launch the game with the Fabric profile selected.
ON A SERVER
Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.
UPDATING
Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
This release downloads from cdn.modrinth.com, not from us, so
there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
- fix: loading of Schematica files and Vanilla Templates with multiple palettes
- refresh stale items after relog
- clear cache on join
- Minor "removeBlockEntity" adjust
- add: 'pasteAlwaysUsePersistent' for leaves
- fix a few edge cases of invalid Easy Place clicks.
- add: Pick Stackable entities to Material List.
(Mainly to deal with the Cushions)
- add: Item Frame override for Entities in Material List
Off-site on cdn.modrinth.com —
no checksum, because we never held this file.
