What is a Minecraft schematic planner?

Building from a schematic in survival is a slow, layer-by-layer process: place a row, count the next one, glance at the plan, repeat. A schematic planner is a viewer optimized for that workflow — one designed to sit next to you while you build, rather than for showing off finished work.

Shulkr's slicer mode steps through any schematic one layer at a time along the X, Y, or Z axis. Each layer is a clean top-down (or side) cross-section — easy to mirror block-for-block as you place in game. Switch axis to plan vertical walls or floors. Keyboard shortcuts step through layers without the mouse.

On your phone, next to your game

The viewer is fully responsive and runs on any modern phone or tablet with WebGL. Open your .litematic or .schem on your phone, prop it next to your keyboard, and you don't need to alt-tab out of the game to check the next row.

Measure before you mine

The area-measure tool reports width, depth, and a full material breakdown for any rectangular selection — handy for estimating resources before you break ground. Hold Ctrl in slicer mode and drag across the layer to mark the region, and the sidebar instantly shows the count of every block type inside.

Shulkr is fully client-side. Your schematic file never leaves your device — parsing and rendering happen entirely in your browser.

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.

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.

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.
