# Minetecture > An AI architect for your Minecraft world. Upload a schematic of the place you want to improve, say what you want, and get a build designed for that exact spot. Review it in 3D, then build it in your world. Minetecture is a web app for Minecraft: Java Edition. How it works: 1. **Pick the spot.** Every good build starts with a place: a bare riverbank, a crowded spawn, a village that needs a bridge. Pick the part of your world you want to improve, and note what around it has to stay just as it is. 2. **Save it as a schematic.** Select the area and some land around it with your schematic mod, and save it as a schematic. Upload it, and every block keeps its exact position. 3. **Say what you want.** Mark the area that may change and describe the build in plain words, with pictures of a style you like. Everything outside the area stays exactly as it is. 4. **Your AI architect drafts it.** It designs inside your real schematic, around your terrain and the builds already there. Review every change in 3D and fix any block by hand. 5. **Build it in your world.** Download the new schematic and load it in your schematic mod, then build it block by block or paste it in. A materials list tells you what to gather first. 6. **Enjoy the view.** The build fits its place because it was designed there. Then pick your next spot and keep your world growing. Why Minetecture: Most AI build tools start from a blank page. You describe a build or show a picture, and you get something new: a schematic to paste wherever you like, or a mod or a bot that builds it in your game. Minetecture starts from the place you want to change, and every choice stays yours. - **Designed in place.** It designs inside a schematic of the real spot, so the build fits your ground, the river and the builds already there. Every block keeps its exact position. - **Only what you mark.** Draw a work area and only blocks inside it can change. Your house, your farms and your redstone stay exactly as they are. - **You approve every block.** Walk around every proposed change in 3D before anything is final. Accept it, undo it, or fix single blocks by hand. - **Point at it.** Select blocks, press T and say what's wrong right there in the build. Add screenshots or pictures of a style you like, and it aims for that look. - **Plan with friends.** Invite friends to a project to add their notes and ideas to an area, so the build has everyone's say. - **Ready for survival.** Build it yourself with your schematic mod. A materials list in stacks covers the whole build or any part of it, with swaps that cut down on rare blocks.

Common questions: - **What is Minetecture?** An AI architect for Minecraft. You upload a schematic of a place in your world, mark the area that may change and say what you want. It designs a build for that exact spot, around your terrain and your existing builds, and you review every change in 3D before you build it. - **Which versions of Minecraft does it work with?** Java Edition, from 1.21 on. Bedrock Edition is not supported. - **Do I need any mods?** You need a schematic mod to save the area you want to improve and to build the result. Litematica, a client-side mod, does both and shows the new build as an overlay in your world to build along. Minetecture itself runs in your browser. - **Which schematic files can I upload?** Litematica schematics (.litematic files), with the area saved as one box. If you use another schematic mod, Litematica can open WorldEdit .schem files, structure block .nbt files and older .schematic files and save them as .litematic. It can also save a finished design as an .nbt structure file, the kind Create's Schematicannon builds from. - **Can it change parts of my world I didn't ask about?** No. Only blocks inside the work area you mark can change, everything else in the schematic stays exactly as it was, and nothing is final until you accept it. Minetecture never touches your world directly: you decide what to build. - **How much does it cost?** You can start for free. The free plan includes base AI usage each month and room for your builds and pictures, with no card needed. Paid plans include more AI usage and storage, and you can change or cancel them at any time in Settings. - **Can friends help plan a build?** Yes. Invite friends to a project and they can add their notes and ideas to an area, so the design has everyone's say. You stay in charge of what gets designed and built. - **Who can see my schematics?** Your library is private to your account, and a project is shared only with the friends you invite to it. To design a build, the part of the schematic the architect needs and your messages and pictures are sent to the AI model that does the work. See the privacy policy for the details. - **How do I get started?** Create a free account, save the spot you want to improve as a schematic and upload it to your library. Then mark the area that may change and say what you would like built there. ## Pages - [Home page](https://minetecture.app/): what Minetecture does, how it works, why it is different, plans and common questions
