Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser using WebGL and JavaScript. Your schematic files never leave your device.

What are the size limits?

Schematics can be up to 164×164×164 blocks. Larger files may take longer to parse and render depending on your hardware.

Can I link directly to a schematic URL?

Yes. Add a url query parameter containing a direct link to a supported schematic file. /viewer?url=https://www.example.com/schematic.litematic The linked file must end in .schem, .litematic, .nbt, or .mcstructure, stay under the remote import size limit, and be publicly reachable. shulkr validates the URL before fetching it, so use public schematic links only.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. The viewer is fully responsive and works on modern phones and tablets with WebGL support, which is handy for keeping a plan open next to you while you build in survival. Large or complex schematics still render best on desktop, where performance and precise mouse controls make exploration smoother.

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

Block textures and models are based on a recent version of Minecraft Java Edition. Most blocks from older versions will display correctly. Bedrock-specific blocks are mapped to their Java equivalents where possible.

Why do some blocks look wrong or show as purple/black?

Missing textures typically mean the block isn't recognized by the viewer yet. This can happen with unsupported modded blocks, custom resource packs, or very new additions. shulkr includes vanilla assets plus bundled Create-family assets, and unsupported blocks fall back to a missing-texture placeholder.

Can I export or share my view?

There is currently no built-in export or sharing feature. You can take screenshots using your browser or OS screenshot tools.

Minecraft Schematic Viewer

View modes

Three ways to explore your build

Switch between modes at any time from the sidebar.

Orbit

View any Minecraft schematic instantly

Orbit your build in 3D with smooth auto-rotation. Click and drag to reframe the camera around the structure. Zoom with the scroll wheel to get a closer look at individual details.

Auto-rotationZoomClick to inspect

Free-fly

Plan before you build

Fly through the structure in noclip first-person with WASD controls. Look around with the mouse and move freely through blocks. Great for exploring interiors and checking redstone wiring.

WASD movementNoclipFirst-person

Slicer

Understand builds layer by layer

Slice along any axis to step through your build one layer at a time. Perfect for planning block-by-block placement in survival. Switch between X, Y, and Z axes to view cross-sections from any direction.

Features

Built for builders

Small details that make planning and recreating a build in survival much easier.

Measure any area

In slicer mode, hold Ctrl and drag across the layer to mark a rectangular region. The sidebar instantly shows the width and depth in blocks plus a full material breakdown. Ideal for estimating resources before you break ground, or sizing rooms, farms, and perimeters without counting blocks by hand.

Use your phone as a reference

The viewer is fully responsive. Open a plan on your phone, stand next to your build, and step through it layer by layer with one hand while you place blocks in survival. No need to keep a laptop nearby or alt-tab out of the game to check the next row.

Inspect any block

Click a block to see its id, world coordinates, and full blockstate properties in the sidebar. Great for checking redstone components, stair orientations, and waterlogged variants.

Biome-accurate tinting

Pick a biome and grass, foliage, water, and related blocks are tinted to roughly match how they appear in-game, so your preview looks like the real thing.

Light & dark themes

Matches your system theme out of the box, or switch manually from the top bar. Comfortable whether you're planning at a desk or checking the plan at night.

100% client-side

Parsing, rendering, and every interaction happen entirely in your browser. Your schematic files never touch a server. No account, no uploads, no tracking of your builds.

New — Editor

Now you can build, not just view

The in-browser schematic editor turns Shulkr into a place to design, edit, and export Minecraft builds — no install, no uploads.

Build

Place, erase, and pick blocks from a searchable palette. Lay straight runs with the line and rectangle tools, or drag to paint across a surface.

Edit

Select a region to fill, replace, hollow, wall, stack, or move it. Click a single block to inspect and change its state — facing, slab type, waterlogged, and more.

Frame it

Perspective free-orbit for building, isometric corner views for clean shots, and a noclip explore mode to fly through your structure.

Save & export

Auto-save keeps your work between sessions. Save projects as .shulkr files, and export to .litematic, .schem, or .nbt.

Open the editor

Desktop only, for now.

New support

Visualize Create mod schematics

Open builds that use Create blocks and inspect factories, drills, blimps, and other contraptions directly in the browser.

Create mod

Schematics with moving parts finally make sense

Use shulkr as a Minecraft Create schematics viewer for planning complex factories, redstone systems, and detailed survival builds. Belts, shafts, cogwheels, pipes, gauges, and addon blocks render alongside vanilla blocks, making it easier to understand how every layer of a contraption fits together before you start building.

Use orbit, free-fly, and slicer modes to understand dense Create machinery from every angle before rebuilding it in survival.

Compatibility

Works with all major schematic formats

Load files from Java Edition mods, plugins, and Bedrock Edition.

Java Edition

.litematic

Litematica

Schematics from the Litematica mod, popular for survival building and redstone projects.

.schem

WorldEdit

Schematics from the WorldEdit plugin/mod, the most widely used building tool for servers.

.nbt

NBT Structure

Vanilla structure files saved with structure blocks, used by Minecraft itself.

Bedrock Edition

.mcstructure

MCStructure

Vanilla structure files from Minecraft Bedrock Edition, saved with structure blocks.

Conversion

Convert between schematic formats

Open any schematic in the viewer and export it in the format you need — Java to Java, Java to Bedrock, or Bedrock to Java.

Between Java formats

Convert freely between .litematic, .schem, and .nbt. Use the format your tool of choice prefers — Litematica, WorldEdit, or the vanilla structure block.

.litematic.schem.nbt

Across editions

Take builds from Java Edition into Bedrock's structure block, or bring a .mcstructure back to Java to share, edit, or use with mods.
