Importing Schematics with World Edit is quick and easy! This guide will walk you through how to import one into your world.

What is a schematic?

A schematic is a file that saves a selection of blocks. It is common to see them with a .schematic or .schem file extension.

Tips and Tricks

1. The {name of file} should include the .schem or .schematic extension as well. For example, if my schematic file is called spawnmap.schem, I would type /schematic load spawnmap.schem (using FAWE).

2. Pay attention to your position because your paste will be located depending on it. Also make sure you have enough space!

3. Using //paste -a instead of //paste will remove all air from your paste.

4. Using //paste -e instead of //paste will paste entities such as armor stands!

5. You can use //rotate commands to rotate the placement of your schematic relative to your player. It is recommended to use increments of 90 degrees.

6. If you are running a paper server and see lighting errors after you paste your schematic, you can use the /paper fixlight command to update the lighting.
