Re-Forgematica

Re-Forgematica is a Forge 1.18.2 fork of Forgematica focused on smoother survival building, especially on multiplayer servers.

This fork keeps the familiar Forgematica/Litematica workflow while adding practical quality-of-life features for players who build from schematics with storage mods, rotation helpers, proxy-style server networks, and rendered-layer printing.

Main Features

• Adds a normal Minecraft Controls keybind for opening the Forgematica menu
• Improves Easy Place support when using Sophisticated Backpacks
• Can pull needed blocks from carried backpacks while placing
• Avoids swapping away tools when selecting hotbar slots
• Adds optional Quark Rotation Lock support for better block orientation
• Adds a native printer that can place rendered schematic blocks around the player
• Lets printer speed and range be configured
• Limits printer placement to the currently rendered schematic layers
• Improves printer placement for slabs, stairs, rods, ladders, banners, doors, heads, skulls, and directional redstone-style blocks
• Keeps schematic placement data separated across configured backend servers
• Improves stability when transferring between servers on a network
• Helps prevent schematics from appearing on the wrong backend server

Native Printer

The native printer can place nearby missing schematic blocks while you walk through the rendered schematic.

Printer controls are available in the mod config:

• Hold the printer activation key to print temporarily
• Toggle printer mode on or off with the printer toggle key
• Adjust the number of ticks between placements
• Adjust the placement range, defaulting to 4.5 blocks

The printer uses normal placement behavior instead of commands. In creative mode it can use the creative pick-block path, and in survival it can use normal inventory selection, including Sophisticated Backpacks when that optional integration is installed.

The printer respects rendered layers, so if you render one layer at a time, it only tries to place blocks from that rendered layer range.

Optional Mod Support

Sophisticated Backpacks

When Sophisticated Backpacks is installed, Re-Forgematica can search carried backpacks for blocks needed by Easy Place or the printer and move them into the hotbar automatically.

Quark

When Quark is installed on both client and server, Re-Forgematica can use Quark Rotation Lock during Easy Place and printer placement to help place directional blocks with the correct orientation.

Both integrations are optional. The mod still works without them.

Requirements

• Minecraft Forge 1.18.2
• MaFgLib

Version Highlights

1.0.1

• Added native schematic printer mode
• Added configurable printer placement delay and range
• Added printer hold and toggle hotkeys
• Added rendered-layer-aware printer placement
• Improved placement handling for slabs, stairs, rods, ladders, wall banners, wall signs, wall skulls, heads, doors, trapdoors, and directional redstone components
• Added stricter support-face handling so wall-attached blocks attach to the intended schematic face

Credits

Re-Forgematica is based on Forgematica / Litematica-Forge, which is based on Litematica by masa.

The native printer was implemented independently for this fork, with behavior informed by Minecraft placement mechanics, Litematica Easy Place handling, and the open-source Forgematica printer ecosystem. Recognition goes to NeoForgematicaPrinter by Reime0 and the original ForgematicaPrinter project credited upstream by NeoForgematicaPrinter.
