# Create a new schematic

## What do you need?

You must have the WorldEdit plugin installed and the [barrier block](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Barrier) -><img src="/files/y6dd1V7DDBDUeWNZXbQB" alt="" data-size="line">.

-> You can also install [WorldEditSelectionVisualizer](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/worldeditselectionvisualizer-1-7-10-1-20.17311/) as an optional plugin.

## Steps

### Step 1 - build

Build your structure and since I'm such an expert builder, behold my absolutely mind-blowing schematic:

### Step 2 - barriers

This is an optional step but it is strongly recommended.\
Just add barrier blocks at the top of your build.

These barriers will be replaced with air during the placing to avoid the schematic being placed in the rock.

### Step 3 - saving

Use WorldEdit to select, copy, and save the schematic as a new file.

1. Get your magic wand <img src="/files/qzgoIoXtBKI15kz4beUL" alt="" data-size="line"> by typing: `//wand`
2. Now select the structure like my selection\
   ![](/files/FFQC817QIgRmo50WwD8Q)
3. Get in the spectator mode: `/gamemode spectator` and try to move in the middle of the base trunk block. In this way, your head location will be the exact point where the schematic will be placed.\
   ![](/files/JrQOWCza7IBnRhEMsJit)
4. Copy the selection by typing: `//copy`
5. Save the copied blocks as a new schematic by typing: `//schematic save schematic_file_name`
   * If you are in 1.8.8-1.12.2, your schematic will be saved by using the [MCEdit format](https://paradiseland.gitbook.io/wiki/misc/schematics/pages/3tpo0Xsk8oTXYWb089iS#1.-mcedit-worldedit-format).
   * If you are in 1.13+, your schematic will be saved by using the [Sponge format](https://paradiseland.gitbook.io/wiki/misc/schematics/pages/3tpo0Xsk8oTXYWb089iS#2.-sponge-format).
6. Copy/Move the created schematic file from the `/plugins/WorldEdit/schematics` to `/plugins/ParadiseLand/schematics`.
   * If you use a different WorldEdit plugin like FastAsyncWorldEdit the folder will be `/plugins/FastAsyncWorldEdit/schematics`.

### Step 4 - try *(optional)*

Type the command: [`/pland schematic paste schematic_file_name.schem`](/wiki/misc/commands/schematic-command.md) (or chematic\_file\_name.schematic):
