Meowbeard's Schematics

Meowbeard’s Schematics

Meowbeard’s Schematics is a Paper plugin for saving and pasting builds as Sponge .schem files. It preserves blocks as well as modern entities that WorldEdit or FAWE may not copy correctly.

Install either WorldEdit or FAWE, not both. The plugin keeps precise positions, display settings, items, armor stand poses, names, tags, and other saved entity data. Pasted entities receive new UUIDs, so a schematic can be pasted more than once.

Quick start

Select your build with WorldEdit or FAWE.
Stand where you want the schematic’s anchor point.
Save it with /mschem save <name>.
Load it with /mschem load <name>.
Stand at the new location and use /mschem paste.

Schematics are stored in plugins/MeowbeardsSchematics/schematics/.

Commands

/mschem save <name> saves your current selection.
/mschem load <name> loads a schematic into your clipboard. The .schem ending is optional.
/mschem rotate 90 rotates the loaded clipboard clockwise. You can also use 180, 270, or negative multiples of 90.
/mschem mirror x mirrors the clipboard. You can use x, z, or xz.
/mschem reset clears clipboard rotation and mirroring.
/mschem paste pastes blocks, entities, and air.
/mschem paste -a pastes without air, so existing blocks are not cleared by empty areas.
/mschem undo undoes your latest plugin paste and removes its pasted entities.

Rotation and mirroring stay on your clipboard until you reset them or load another schematic.

Example

/mschem load apple_tree
/mschem rotate 90
/mschem mirror x
/mschem paste -a

Interaction entities

Interaction hitboxes keep their size, response setting, position, rotation, names, and tags. Duplicate names and tags are supported.

The plugin only saves and restores interaction entities. It does not decide what happens when they are clicked. You can add behavior with datapacks, plugins, command blocks, or any other system you prefer.

Old player interaction and attack history is removed when saving and pasting.
