🧱 Option 2: Create Your Own Schematic in Litematica

✅ Steps to Create a .litematic from Your Build:

1. Go into Creative mode in your world
2. Equip a “tool item” (default is a stick)
3. Open Area Editor:
   • Press M → Area Editor
4. Right-click with the stick:
   • Set corner 1 of your build
   • Right-click again to set corner 2
   • Now you’ve selected the full volume
5. Save the Schematic:
   • Press M → Schematic Manager → Save Schematic
   • Name it and click Save

This creates a .litematic file saved in:

.minecraft/schematics/

You can now use this like any downloaded schematic—load it later in any world.
