BuildPrint - Schematics & Printer (Litematica Alternative)
by L4stIdi0t
With BuildPrint, a player loads a schematic file and sees a ghost copy of the build in the world, with real block models, before placing anything.
What it does
BuildPrint opens the schematic formats .litematic, .schem, .schematic, .nbt and Axiom's .bp. Once a file is loaded, its ghost world shows what still needs to be built, which blocks are missing, and which blocks are placed in the wrong state or facing the wrong way. A material list counts what remains to gather, and the tracker updates as blocks are placed.
The mod can also search the surrounding area for an existing build. The Auto Loaded tab looks within 12 chunks for a schematic that already stands in the world, and a match-count readout shows how much of it is present. Position, rotation and mirroring can be adjusted to line the file up with the ground, and a build that has not been started yet can be aligned with the terrain before work begins.
An optional printer places the missing blocks around the player while using blocks from the inventory, staying within normal reach. Placement follows the build layer by layer, from the bottom up, and a layer-only view shows one layer at a time. In creative mode a whole build can be pasted into the world in one step and undone. Containers can be filled with the items a schematic calls for, and server owners decide whether the printer may place blocks on a server, through BuildPrint's own policy or Axiom and WorldEdit operator commands.

Load a schematic, see it in your world, and build it. BuildPrint shows any schematic as a ghost in your world, with real block models. It tracks what you've placed, what's missing and what's wrong. Easy place makes placing the right block easy, and the printer places blocks for you.
