Have you ever wondered why Create's Schematic Table takes so long to upload large schematics?
Why wait, when the schematic already exists?
Create: Instant Schematics is a lightweight Create addon that lets players instantly convert a held Empty Schematic into a written Schematic from an existing .nbt file.
Beyond instant loading, the mod also introduces multiplayer quality-of-life features, including sharing schematic holograms with other players and synchronizing hologram movements in real time, making collaborative building significantly easier.
Instead of waiting for the Schematic Table to upload large files every time, simply run a command and start building immediately.
The mod does not introduce a custom schematic format, GUI, uploader, printer, or hologram renderer. Instead, it builds directly on Create's existing schematic system, allowing Create to handle hologram previews, placement settings, and printing exactly as intended. This means full compatibility with Create's native schematic workflow while eliminating unnecessary waiting.
.nbt schematic with a command.Version 1.0.0 expands the command workflow:
/cis list lists the .nbt schematics available to you./cis share <player> sends your currently loaded schematic to another online player./cis sharedlist lists schematics you have received through CIS sharing./cis load <filename> now supports tab completion for available schematic files.Install Create: Instant Schematics. See the installation instructions below.
Choose the workflow that matches your setup:
/cischematic load <filename>/cischematic listEnsure the desired .nbt schematic is available on the server under:
schematics/uploaded/<playerName>/Once the file is there, use /cischematic load <filename> to instantly convert a held Empty Schematic into a written Create Schematic.
If your server host does not allow direct file uploads (for example, Aternos), upload the schematic once using the Create's Schematic Table. After the file has been uploaded to the server, you can reuse it instantly with the provided commands without waiting for another upload.
To share a loaded schematic with another online player, hold the written schematic and run /cischematic share <player>. The receiving player gets a client-side copy for previewing and reuse.
/cischematic load <filename>
/cischematic list
/cischematic unload
/cischematic share <player>
/cischematic sharedlist
/cischematic clearsharedShort aliases are also available:
/cis load <filename>
/cis list
/cis unload
/cis share <player>
/cis sharedlist
/cis clearsharedIf the filename does not end with .nbt, the extension is appended automatically.
Example:
/cischematic load "example.nbt"/cischematic load <filename> supports tab completion for available .nbt files.
Command summary:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/cischematic load <filename> |
Converts a held Empty Schematic into a written Create Schematic for an existing .nbt file. |
/cischematic list |
Lists the schematics available in your schematic source folder. |
/cischematic unload |
Converts a held written schematic back into an Empty Schematic without deleting the file. |
/cischematic share <player> |
Shares the held loaded schematic with another online player. |
/cischematic sharedlist |
Lists CIS shared schematics stored on your client. |
/cischematic clearshared |
Deletes CIS shared schematic files from your client schematic folder. |
In singleplayer, schematics are loaded from:
schematics/<filename>.nbtOn multiplayer servers, schematics are loaded from:
schematics/uploaded/<playerName>/<filename>.nbtFor example, player Steve on a multiplayer server would load:
schematics/uploaded/Steve/example.nbtRunning /cischematic unload only recycles the held schematic item. It does not modify or delete the .nbt file.
Schematics received through /cischematic share <player> are saved on the receiving client as cis_shared_*.nbt files under:
schematics/Use /cischematic sharedlist to list those received files, or /cischematic clearshared to remove them.

Very large schematics may still cause short freezes while Create loads and renders the hologram preview. This mod bypasses the upload process but intentionally relies on Create's native rendering and placement pipeline, so overall performance for extremely large schematics remains limited by Create and Minecraft.
