Get started

Up and printing in four steps.

MC3DPrint is a standard Forge 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 Forge 1.20.1

   MC3DPrint runs on Minecraft Java 1.20.1 with Minecraft Forge 47.4.10 or newer. Install the Forge profile from files.minecraftforge.net and launch it once to create the profile.

2. 2

   Drop in the jar

   Download the latest mc3dprint-<version>.jar from the Releases page 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.
