wheres my litematica files if theyre not in .minecraft?

Open professorsaltshaker opened this issue 4 years ago • 54 comments

Hi, I cannot find the schematic file that Litematica is supposed to save to. I know it should normally be in .minecraft, but it's not in there, so IDK where my schematics are or where I should add my .nbt files. Thank you for reading this, and if anyone else has this problem or solution, do tell me, please. Or if you don't know where they could be, can you at least tell me how I can find those schematics in the files?

The default schematic directory is .minecraft/schematics/.

Have you used different Minecraft instance/game directories before? Litematica remembers the last directory you had open in the file browser menus per-world, so if you copy over the config files to a different Minecraft instance, then it would still be pointing at the old directory. It's usually easy to see if that's the case, as the directory path in the file browser menu will then be pretty long as it's pointing to a long absolute path, instead of just in a relative location such as schematics > something. A quick way to fix that is to click on the "root directory" button in the file browser menu, and then it will jump to the current .minecraft/schematics/ directory for example.

so you're saying if I were to open a file titled "XYZ" and then save a schematic to Litematica, it would be stored in "XYZ" and not the named "schematic" file?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but no? I was just talking about how Litematica remembers the last directory you were at in the file browser menus such as the schematic saving menu. If you haven't had Litematica installed before, or you have never used other .minecraft directories, then don't worry about that, it would not apply in your case then.

Are you saying you don't have the schematics directory inside your .minecraft directory? Is Litematica loaded/working otherwise?

Was this issue resolved?

Yes, I had to delete my entire .minecraft folder. Thankfully I only play multiplayer.

Well that's very odd. Was it a permission issue of some kind maybe? Which operating system are you on?

maruohon avatar Jul 08 '21 19:07 maruohon

@uri2444 You gave basically zero information. How am I supposed to know based on that what you have done and what is actually happening? What type of schematics do you have? Do they show up in the Load Schematics menu? Is it only when trying to click on one (or load one) that you get an error? What is the exact error message?

maruohon avatar Dec 29 '21 18:12 maruohon

i dont have a schematics folder in .minecraft

@imbigmanburger Is the mod loaded, does it show up in the Mod Menu list or do you see the orange Litematica text on the F3 screen? The mod should create the directory when you launch the game, if it doesn't exist yet.

maruohon avatar May 04 '22 14:05 maruohon

yeah its loaded right but theres no folder

That doesn't look like the correct .minecraft instance directory, since there are for example no mods/ and config/ directories either.

maruohon avatar May 04 '22 17:05 maruohon

its the only one

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

any shortcut i can type?

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

Open the Resource Packs menu, and then click on Open Folder.

(In future versions you can also open the schematic directory directly via all the schematic browser menus, but that code is currently still only in the 1.12.2 version.)

maruohon avatar May 04 '22 17:05 maruohon

what do i do after that

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

im so confused

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

when i open it what is meant to happen

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

Go up one directory and then you are in the correct .minecraft directory used by that instance.

maruohon avatar May 04 '22 17:05 maruohon

wha

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

I FOUND IT

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

I think...

oh ok sorry

imbigmanburger avatar May 04 '22 17:05 imbigmanburger

hello,i got the litematica mod and i'm trying to import a schematic but there's no schematics folder in .minecraft, i tried the previous step here but it doesn't work for me,so is there another solution? or am i just misunderstanding it?

Timmotyboi avatar Dec 16 '23 02:12 Timmotyboi

@Timmotyboi How does it not work? Does your file manager not open when you click on Open Folder in the Resource Packs menu? Which operating system are you using, and which Minecraft launcher are you using?

maruohon avatar Dec 16 '23 12:12 maruohon

hello, ive been trying the stuff discused here but i got absolutely nothing, this is all i got so idk what is wrong Screenshot 55555555555555555555123456789

Raiatrex avatar Jan 17 '24 02:01 Raiatrex

i checked in resourcepacks and there was nothing. also im using curseforge with fabric on 1.20.1 for this idk if it changes anything

Raiatrex avatar Jan 17 '24 02:01 Raiatrex

so i decided to fuck around and find out and made my own file called schematics to see if it would solve the issue but no
