wheres my litematica files if theyre not in .minecraft?

professorsaltshaker commented 3 years ago

Hi, I cannot find the schematic file that Litematica is supposed to save to. I know it should normally be in .minecraft, but it's not in there, so IDK where my schematics are or where I should add my .nbt files. Thank you for reading this, and if anyone else has this problem or solution, do tell me, please. Or if you don't know where they could be, can you at least tell me how I can find those schematics in the files?

The default schematic directory is .minecraft/schematics/.

Have you used different Minecraft instance/game directories before? Litematica remembers the last directory you had open in the file browser menus per-world, so if you copy over the config files to a different Minecraft instance, then it would still be pointing at the old directory. It's usually easy to see if that's the case, as the directory path in the file browser menu will then be pretty long as it's pointing to a long absolute path, instead of just in a relative location such as schematics > something. A quick way to fix that is to click on the "root directory" button in the file browser menu, and then it will jump to the current .minecraft/schematics/ directory for example.

so you're saying if I were to open a file titled "XYZ" and then save a schematic to Litematica, it would be stored in "XYZ" and not the named "schematic" file?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but no? I was just talking about how Litematica remembers the last directory you were at in the file browser menus such as the schematic saving menu. If you haven't had Litematica installed before, or you have never used other .minecraft directories, then don't worry about that, it would not apply in your case then.

Are you saying you don't have the schematics directory inside your .minecraft directory? Is Litematica loaded/working otherwise?

Was this issue resolved?

Yes, I had to delete my entire .minecraft folder. Thankfully I only play multiplayer.

Well that's very odd. Was it a permission issue of some kind maybe? Which operating system are you on?

@uri2444 You gave basically zero information. How am I supposed to know based on that what you have done and what is actually happening? What type of schematics do you have? Do they show up in the Load Schematics menu? Is it only when trying to click on one (or load one) that you get an error? What is the exact error message?
