ObjToSchematic

A tool to convert .obj model files into Minecraft Schematics or Litematica.

Usage

You can either download the latest release or build it yourself by following the instructions below.

• Download and install Node.js.
• Run git clone https://github.com/LucasDower/ObjToSchematic.git in your command line.
• Navigate to /ObjToSchematic-main.
• Run npm install.
• Run npm start.
• Note, for now, all .obj models must be triangulated before importing.

Support for choosing the block palette is not yet supported. Instead, you can edit /tools/default-ignore-list.txt to include blocks you don't want to be used and then run npm run-script atlas. You can also place custom textures in /tools/blocks/ for more accurate block-colour matching when building with resource packs.
