How to turn prompts into Minecraft builds

Follow these quick steps to generate, download, and place BlockGPT creations in your own worlds.

1. Generate

Describe your idea, adjust the scale in settings, and pick the blocks you want it made from.

2. Download

Choose .schem for WorldEdit, .litematic for Litematica, .schematic for Java 1.12 and older, or .mcstructure for Bedrock Edition when the build finishes.

3. Import

Drop the file into your world with WorldEdit, the Litematica mod, or a Bedrock structure block. Details below.

Generate a build

Set BlockGPT up for success with these prompt habits.

Start with a clear blueprint

  • Edit the scale in settings so the build isn’t too small or too big for your plot.
  • Call out the blocks you want (quartz, deepslate, leaves) so the palette stays on-theme.
  • Keep prompts short and direct—describe the shape and a couple key details you care about.

Push the size

  • Use a bigger size for landmarks and a smaller one for interiors so placement is easier.
  • Mention orientation (front-facing, centered) if you want a specific viewing angle.
  • If you don’t like a block choice, regenerate after swapping blocks in the settings.

Export smart

  • Pick .schem for WorldEdit, .litematic for Litematica overlays, .schematic for older Java tools, or .mcstructure for Bedrock Edition.
  • Regenerate if you want variants—save multiple files and try them in different biomes.
  • Keep your downloads organized by version and theme for quick swaps.

Import into your world

Choose the pipeline that matches your favorite tools.

WorldEdit (.schem)
  1. Place your .schem file in the worldedit/schematics folder.
  2. Run //schem load <filename> then stand where you want the origin.
  3. Use //paste (or //paste -a to ignore air). Adjust with //undo + re-paste if needed.
Litematica (.litematic)
  1. Move the .litematic file into .minecraft/schematics.
  2. Open the Litematica menu → Load Schematics → select your build.
  3. Use the placement menu to align and rotate; follow the hologram to build or paste with a fabric modpack.
Bedrock Edition (.mcstructure)
  1. Download the .mcstructure file anywhere on your device.
  2. In your world with cheats on, run /give @s structure_block and place the block.
  3. Set it to Load mode and press Import, then pick your downloaded file. The structure block fills in the details for you.
  4. Use the offset fields to position it, then press Load to place it.
  5. Builds wider or deeper than 64 blocks can't be placed by a structure block. Keep Bedrock exports at 64 or below, or use an editor such as Amulet for larger ones.
Legacy Java (.schematic)
  1. Place your .schematic file in the worldedit/schematics folder, the same one .schem uses.
  2. Run //schem load <filename>, then stand where you want the origin.
  3. Use //paste to place it. Pick this format only for WorldEdit on Minecraft 1.12 and older — on anything newer, use .schem instead.

Pro tip

Keep experimenting

Try multiple prompts for the same theme—large characters, biome-themed bases, or cinematic landmarks. Swap export types to match servers, creative plots, or survival worlds.
