# Create: Instant Schematics

## Overview Have you ever wondered why Create's Schematic Table takes so long to upload large schematics? Why wait, when the schematic already exists? **Create: Instant Schematics** is a lightweight Create addon that lets players instantly convert a held **Empty Schematic** into a written **Schematic** from an existing `.nbt` file. Beyond instant loading, the mod also introduces multiplayer quality-of-life features, including sharing schematic holograms with other players and synchronizing hologram movements in real time, making collaborative building significantly easier. Instead of waiting for the Schematic Table to upload large files every time, simply run a command and start building immediately. The mod does **not** introduce a custom schematic format, GUI, uploader, printer, or hologram renderer. Instead, it builds directly on Create's existing schematic system, allowing Create to handle hologram previews, placement settings, and printing exactly as intended. This means full compatibility with Create's native schematic workflow while eliminating unnecessary waiting. --- ## Features * Instantly load an existing `.nbt` schematic with a command. * List available schematics without leaving the game. * Recycle a written schematic back into an Empty Schematic. * Share a loaded schematic directly with another online player. * List and clear received shared schematics from the client schematic folder. * Provides tab completion for available schematic filenames. * Uses Create's native schematic preview and placement behavior. * Supports filenames with spaces when enclosed in quotes. * Validates schematic paths to prevent directory traversal. * Preserves schematic files when unloading a schematic item. * Synchronizes the client cache so Create can immediately display the hologram preview. --- ## Update 1.0.0 Version **1.0.0** expands the command workflow: * `/cis list` lists the `.nbt` schematics available to you. * `/cis share ` sends your currently loaded schematic to another online player. * `/cis sharedlist` lists schematics you have received through CIS sharing. * `/cis load ` now supports tab completion for available schematic files. --- ## How To Use This Mod 1. Install **Create: Instant Schematics**. See the installation instructions below. 2. Choose the workflow that matches your setup: * **Singleplayer:** Simply use the provided commands to load or unload schematics. * `/cischematic load ` * `/cischematic list` * **Multiplayer Server:** Continue with the steps below. 3. Ensure the desired `.nbt` schematic is available on the server under: ```text schematics/uploaded// ``` Once the file is there, use `/cischematic load ` to instantly convert a held Empty Schematic into a written Create Schematic. 4. If your server host does **not** allow direct file uploads (for example, Aternos), upload the schematic once using the Create's Schematic Table. After the file has been uploaded to the server, you can reuse it instantly with the provided commands without waiting for another upload. 5. To share a loaded schematic with another online player, hold the written schematic and run `/cischematic share `. The receiving player gets a client-side copy for previewing and reuse. --- ## Commands ```mcfunction /cischematic load /cischematic list /cischematic unload /cischematic share /cischematic sharedlist /cischematic clearshared ``` Short aliases are also available: ```mcfunction /cis load /cis list /cis unload /cis share /cis sharedlist /cis clearshared ``` If the filename does not end with `.nbt`, the extension is appended automatically. Example: ```mcfunction /cischematic load "example.nbt" ``` `/cischematic load ` supports tab completion for available `.nbt` files. Command summary: | Command | Description | | ------- | ----------- | | `/cischematic load ` | Converts a held Empty Schematic into a written Create Schematic for an existing `.nbt` file. | | `/cischematic list` | Lists the schematics available in your schematic source folder. | | `/cischematic unload` | Converts a held written schematic back into an Empty Schematic without deleting the file. | | `/cischematic share ` | Shares the held loaded schematic with another online player. | | `/cischematic sharedlist` | Lists CIS shared schematics stored on your client. | | `/cischematic clearshared` | Deletes CIS shared schematic files from your client schematic folder. | --- ## Schematic Files In singleplayer, schematics are loaded from: ```text schematics/.nbt ``` On multiplayer servers, schematics are loaded from: ```text schematics/uploaded//.nbt ``` For example, player `Steve` on a multiplayer server would load: ```text schematics/uploaded/Steve/example.nbt ``` Running `/cischematic unload` only recycles the held schematic item. It does **not** modify or delete the `.nbt` file. Schematics received through `/cischematic share ` are saved on the receiving client as `cis_shared_*.nbt` files under: ```text schematics/ ``` Use `/cischematic sharedlist` to list those received files, or `/cischematic clearshared` to remove them. --- ## Installation 1. Install Minecraft **1.20.1**. 2. Install Forge **47.4.x**. 3. Install Create **6.0.x**. 4. Place **Create: Instant Schematics** into your `mods` folder. 5. Launch the game or server. Java 17 is required. --- ## Requirements | Create Version | CIS Version | |----------------|-------------| | 0.5.1.x | 1.0.0 | | 6.0.x | 1.0.1 | --- ## Notes Very large schematics may still cause short freezes while Create loads and renders the hologram preview. This mod bypasses the upload process but intentionally relies on Create's native rendering and placement pipeline, so overall performance for extremely large schematics remains limited by Create and Minecraft. ## Links - GitHub: [RSlover521/create-instant-schematics](https://github.com/RSlover521/create-instant-schematics) - Issues: [Report a bug](https://github.com/RSlover521/create-instant-schematics/issues) - License: [MIT](LICENSE)
