Description
Schematic2Blueprint is a program to slize MineCraft Schematic export files into single planes. Some people like I myself lack the creativity to build something great in MineCraft, but we still enjoy building stuff. With this program, it is possible to take awesome stuff other people made (and released as Schematic files) and generate a blueprint out of them for rebuilding them.
It also supports exports in either PNG images for the single layers or animated GIF files.
It is also usefull for finding hidden stuff in the schematics, for example, the Millennium Falcon (see below) contains a hidden smuggler chamber that most people probably wouldn't even expect.
A great source for such Schematic files is the website mcschematics.com
Texture pack support
Schematic2Blueprint supports MineCraft texture packs of the size 16x16. The process to do this is similar to the normal install process of the texture pack. You have to take the terrain.png and items.png images out of the texturepack, then open the Schematic2Blueprint jar file in an archive program like WinZip, go to the directory /klaue/mcschematictool/ inside it and replace the terrain.png and items.png there with those of the texture pack.
Screenshots
The Schematic used in the screenshots is "Millennium Falcon Flying.schematic", which is, as the name implies, the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. Megatech rebuilt it inside MineCraft and was nice enough to let people have the schematic of it, downloadable here.
The main GUI:
PNG exports:
Block counter:
How to start
You'll need java version 6, but since MineCraft itself needs java, you'll probably allready have it.
If everything works, you can just double-click the bat (windows) or the sh (linux, mac (probably)).

Licence
Would be nice if you would drop a link back to me if you put it in another forum or extend it. As for the rest, you're only bound to the licence of JNBT. See the Licence directory in the jar file for the full licence text.
Schematic2Blueprint also uses the GIF encoder from FM Software

Hello!
I just updated the program to the newest version and now kinda 85% of schematics give me an error: Could not read file. even the ones who readed before. :S
Thanks for your answer.
#133 Klaue wrote at 04/26/2013 08:33 PM (EST):
Well, can't do anything without having the schematics in question, but my guess would be that they are just not compatible to the newest minecraft version and I just can't support old versions, even if they should usually still work
#134 Matt wrote at 04/27/2013 11:34 AM (EST):
I just think its weird that old versions support all kind of schematic but this stop working. its work in mcedit too, only in this program with the latest update. So if i downlaod 10 schematic 2 will be work and 8 is just take my space because they are unreadable :S
One example: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/station-schin-op-geul/

I found out what your problem was and it's not really the fault of S2B. You see, schematic files are more or less text files (still binary, but with some clear text) that are always gzipped for size reasons.
The schematic on the page you linked, on the other hand, was not gzipped, which is not legal for schematic files.
That's the reason S2B could not work with it - it tried to unzip, but it was not a zip. By the way, all S2B versions that ever were, including the previous one, could not have handled that.
My guess is that the site you linked usually uses server side zipping which failed for some reason so the schematics you get aren't zipped, but that is just speculation.
Anyway, I added a check if it was a gzip and if not, I gzip the given file to the temp directory and read that. At least your linked one worked with that trick. Just DL the new version.

I see, i just think it's weird, because on previous versions it can read all planetminecraft one. So you think they changed it?
#137 Klaue wrote at 04/29/2013 01:23 PM (EST):
Jup. But as I said, I added a failsave for it, so it shouldn't give you issues anymore
#129 Irongron wrote at 04/05/2013 04:28 PM (EST):
Any chance you will be updating the program to handle the newer block types (1.5.1) ?
#130 Klaue wrote at 04/09/2013 11:14 PM (EST):
I hope so! I have it more or less planned for next week, but I promise nothing. The problem is that it always swallows buttloads of time to update.

This is my favorite program on my CPU!! It is a crap CPU and cannot load Google, but changing -Xmx512 -> -Xmx1024 made me load a schematic that is 283x283x258
Now all I have to do is lay down exactly 347,488 blocks by hand ;D. Easy stuff.
Thanks so much for le program Klaue!!!

I took a building out of a map, and saved it as a schematic. But when I try to open it in Schematic2Blueprint it says it ran out of memory.
What can I do to fix this problem?
#124 Klaue wrote at 01/19/2013 06:24 AM (EST):
are you sure you have the most recent version of schematic2blueprint? that shouldn't happen since about 2 versions.
if yes, open the start.bat and increase the number after XmX, which is the max memory it's allowed to use

A notification keeps coming up everytime I double click the 'Windows' batch file... It says "Windows cannot fin 'javaw'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Please Help...

Check to make sure that you have the latest java version installed. If not download the SDK to make sure you have everything.
#122 Klaue wrote at 01/04/2013 09:17 PM (EST):
In addition to what the other guy said, sometimes java fails to set up the proper environment variables at setup. If you have java installed, the easiest way to fix it is to open the bat in notepad and replace all java and javaw occurences by their full path in quotes (eg java turns to something like "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\java.exe", depending on where your java is installed)

#119 Klaue wrote at 11/23/2012 07:16 PM (EST):
A compression program (winrar, 7zip, winzip, something like that) probably grabbed the jar file extension. Go to the settings of your compression program and set it to not use the jar file extension.
