Creating a Schematic Pack

Applies to 1.0.3.0BETA+

Creating a Schematic Pack for distribution is pretty easy.

1. Make a backup copy of your Minecraft installation.
2. Remove the contents of the ./minecraft/config/restructured directory.
3. Copy your schematic files into the ./minecraft/config/restructured= directory.
4. Start up Minecraft. This will force the creation of schematics.cfg and chests.cfg based on the schematics present in the directory.
5. Edit the configuration files with any changes you wish to make.
6. Create a ZIP file that contains the schematic files as well as the schematics.cfg and chests.cfg file. These files should be in the root directory of the ZIP. You can look at the Standard Schematic Pack as an example of how it should look.

To test out the pack:

1. Remove the contents of the ./minecraft/config/restructured directory.
2. Drop in your Schematic Pack ZIP file into the ./minecraft/config/restructured directory.
3. Start Minecraft and everything should be wired in.

NOTES:

• Avoid putting version data in the name of the schematic pack ZIP file. The name of the ZIP is used by Restructured to create a “name space” to avoid name collisions with other packs. By putting version info in the name it will cause Restructured to create new configuration entries in the global configs every time the name changes.
• If a schematic will use one of the general chest loot tables to populate a chest, such as “villageBlacksmith”, prefix the string with a caret (“^”). This will let restructured know that the string is to be interpreted as-is without applying a namespace modifier.
• Use the flat world type to test your schematics. Villages spawn frequently as well as general world gen items.
• Be careful with chests.cfg and schematics.cfg. You do not want to fold config files that have been populated with data from other schematic packs.
