Schematic downloads

lighthouse.litematic 4 KB lighthouse.schem 2 KB

.litematic is for the Litematica mod: it projects the build into your world, shows it layer by layer and lists the materials you still need. Best for survival. .schem (Sponge v3) is for WorldEdit, FastAsyncWorldEdit and Axiom. Newer Litematica loads it too. Both files are for Java 1.21.4 and hold the blocks only (no chest contents). Free to use. A credit to Nixi is welcome.

The finished build

Nixi's lighthouse in her Minecraft world, finished

Where this model comes from

This model is a scan of the blocks standing in Nixi's world on 2026-10-17, read at the design's 3,194 cells (showpiece.lighthouse). Terrain, scaffolding and anything else around the build are left out.

3 design blocks were never placed and are not in the model (2 lantern, 1 red concrete).

6 blocks (3 sea lantern, 2 cut copper, 1 lightning rod) were set by the build script over RCON when it finished the build, not placed by Nixi. She placed the rest herself, in survival.

The design is from Nixi's own design catalog.

The colours are our own flat picks with patterns drawn in your browser. They are not Minecraft's textures, so the model looks simpler than the game. The block types and counts are exact.
