Get started

Up and printing in four steps.

MC3DPrint is a standard Forge/NeoForge mod. If you've installed a mod before, this will feel familiar. If you haven't, follow along; it's about five minutes.

  1. 1

    Install your loader

    MC3DPrint ships for two loaders: Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge 47.4.10+, and 1.21.1 through 26.2 on NeoForge. Install the matching profile from files.minecraftforge.net or neoforged.net and launch it once to create the profile.

  2. 2

    Drop in the jar

    Grab the jar matching your version, mc3dprint-<version>-forge-1.20.1.jar or mc3dprint-<version>-neoforge-<mc>.jar, and place it in your instance's mods/ folder. Replace any older copy. Never keep two.

  3. 3

    Launch & verify

    Start the game. Open the Mods list and confirm MC3DPrint appears. If you have Patchouli installed (optional), you'll also get the in-game guide book.

  4. 4

    Your first build

    Craft a Structure Scanner and a Printer. Scan something small, wind some filament, and print it. The Guide walks through each step in detail.

Requirements

  • Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1, or 1.21.1 / 1.21.8 / 1.21.9 / 1.21.10 / 1.21.11 / 26.1 / 26.2
  • Loader Forge 47.4.10+ on 1.20.1; NeoForge on 1.21.1 and up. On 26.1 and 26.2 the loader minimums are exact (NeoForge 26.1.2.77 and 26.2.0.16-beta), because NeoForge still renames API inside those lines. NeoForge 26.1.2.x is published against Minecraft 26.1.2, so a 26.1 instance needs that patch to install a loader this jar accepts.
  • Optional: Patchouli (in-game guide), JEI (recipe lookup)
