  This mod makes it possible to save and load areas in a Minetest world as schematic files. With it players can build structures in Minetest and save the result to a file in their world folder.

  The mod is easy to understand and does not depend on any game – not even minetest_game. In my opinion that makes it an excellent choice to create schematics, even for beginner mod developers. There even exist special nodes for common use cases – for example, when air should not be placed in a schematic.

  Saving a schematic:

  1. You place a schemedit node at a corner of the area that you wish to save as a schematic.
  2. You click the node, then specify the area size and filename in a form. The area bounds can be clearly visible.
  3. You click a button to save the area as a schematic. It will be saved in the folder schems, which is located in the folder of the world you created it in.

  Loading a schematic:

  1. You put the schematic that you want to load in the folder schems, which should be located in the folder of the world you want it to be in. (Create it if it does not exist.)
  2. You place a schemeedit node at a corner of the the area where you wish to load a schematic.
  3. You click the node, then specify the filename in a form.
  4. You click a button to load the schematic.
