What is a .schem file?

.schem is the schematic format used by WorldEdit, the most widely deployed building tool on Minecraft servers, and by its forks like FastAsyncWorldEdit. A .schem is essentially a region snapshot: block ids, blockstates, biomes, and a bounding box, all stored as compressed NBT.

Why view .schem files outside WorldEdit?

WorldEdit ships with //paste and //schem load for pulling schematics into a world, but there's no built-in preview. To see what's inside a file before pasting it, players historically had to spin up a fresh creative world or rely on clunky third-party tools.

Shulkr opens .schem files directly in the browser. No install, no account, and the file never leaves your device. Useful for auditing community schematic packs, comparing variants, or figuring out what an unlabeled download contains before pasting it into a live server.

Shulkr supports the modern Sponge .schem format used by WorldEdit, FastAsyncWorldEdit, and similar tools. Files saved in the legacy pre-1.13 .schematic format need to be re-saved as .schem in WorldEdit first.

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.
