# Create a new schematic

How to 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="https://3586521393-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVaTufFv4BbKVyQLim4tI%2Fuploads%2F2ZlkxxP3ysJjDjmpVc2y%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=23e8cf4f-ad51-4185-b488-77e9eb3fb644" 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="https://3586521393-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVaTufFv4BbKVyQLim4tI%2Fuploads%2F27eseqNY6fDP4JKJnX6v%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c60e995a-cff0-4bd1-9d6a-58976d574902" alt="" data-size="line"> by typing: `//wand`
2. Now select the structure like my selection\

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.\

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):

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://paradiseland.gitbook.io/wiki/misc/schematics/create-a-new-schematic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
