What is a Minecraft schematic viewer?

A Minecraft schematic is a snapshot of a build saved to a file. Tools like Litematica, WorldEdit, and the game's own structure blocks all export schematics — but each uses a different file format, and most are tied to in-game mods or plugins.

A schematic viewer is a way to look at those builds without launching Minecraft. Drop a .schem, .litematic, .nbt, or .mcstructure file into your browser and Shulkr parses the blocks, materials, and orientations into a 3D preview you can orbit, fly through, or step through layer by layer.

How to open a schematic

  1. Open the viewer and either click Open a schematic or drag your file anywhere on the page.
  2. Pick a view mode in the sidebar — orbit for an overview, free-fly for first-person exploration, or slicer to step through layers.
  3. Click any block to inspect its id and blockstate, or hold Ctrl in slicer mode to drag-measure an area in blocks.

The viewer never uploads your file. Parsing and rendering happen entirely in your browser using WebGL, so even large schematics stay private to your device.

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.
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.

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 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.
