ForgematicaPrinter
by TexTrue
Forgematica adds a printer to the Forge and NeoForge loaders that places the correct blocks around the player, so large structures build faster, and it extends the Litematica Printer workflow.
What it does
The printer places blocks from a loaded schematic automatically, filling in the correct block at each position around the player. Skulls placed on the ground, glow lichen vines, and entities such as item frames and armor stands are included in the printing. Holding the print key prints regardless of whether the printer is toggled off. The printer toggle defaults to CAPS LOCK, and the hotkey can be rebound under the Hotkeys tab of the settings.
Forgematica is an unofficial NeoForge port of the Litematica Printer, and it works alongside the Litematica Printer's extension, which adds the printing functionality the original lacks. The mod runs on the client only, so only the player's game needs it and servers do not. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.20 – 1.21.4, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.
