Litematica Workflow · Updated August 6, 2026

Litematica material list: how to use CSV with the Litematica mod.

Combine BlockArtLab's CSV material list with Litematica's placement overlay for efficient building. The CSV gives exact counts and stack estimates; Litematica shows where each block goes.

What Litematica provides

• Placement overlay: ghost blocks showing where to place each block
• Material list: required blocks with counts
• Layer view: build one Y level at a time
• Task list: tracks which blocks are placed

What BlockArtLab's CSV adds

• Stack estimates: how many stacks of 64 to bring
• Pre-build planning: gather materials before loading the schematic
• Cross-version reference: works for Bedrock too (no Litematica needed)

Combined workflow

1. Convert your image in BlockArtLab
2. Download both .litematic and CSV
3. Open the CSV — note total stacks per color
4. Gather all materials in survival
5. Load .litematic in Litematica
6. Enable placement overlay (M + Y by default)
7. Build from the overlay, checking off blocks as you go

Container organization

• One chest per color group
• Label chests with signs
• Place chests near the build site
• Keep 10% extra blocks for mistakes
