Three steps. Your world in 3D.

  1. 1

    Drop your game file.

    MC Planner reads block textures from your own Minecraft: Java Edition game file (the client .jar). Nothing from Mojang is bundled. Your browser remembers it.

    %APPDATA%\.minecraft\versions\26.2\26.2.jar
  2. 2

    Drop your world.

    A .zip of a world from your saves folder, or the folder itself. Modded worlds work too. MC Planner only reads your world. It never changes it.

  3. 3

    Plan it, alone or together.

    Draw, count, and share an invite link. Friends join free.

Everything you need to plan the big one.

This is the real thing.

Planning alone is free. Pay only to plan together.

Every planning feature is free, with no account. Sharing a world with friends needs our servers, so that part is paid. The person who shares pays. Friends join free.

Your world, your files.

  • No account to plan alone. Plans save in your browser, and File → Save keeps .mcplan files with versions.

  • Your world stays on your computer until you share it. Sharing uploads the world files and a colour map, never your game's textures.

  • Schematic files you import stay in your browser and are never uploaded.

  • MC Planner only reads your world. It never changes your save.

  • Planning alone is free, forever. No ads.

FAQ

Is MC Planner free?

Planning alone is free, with every feature and no account. Planning together needs a plan for the host: Cloud, Team or Lifetime. Friends join free.

Which Minecraft versions does it support?

Minecraft: Java Edition. It's built for 26.2 and also reads worlds from 1.18 to 1.21, including modded worlds and modded dimensions. Bedrock Edition isn't supported.

Do I need Minecraft installed?

Yes. MC Planner reads block textures and models from your own Java Edition game file. Nothing from Mojang is bundled with MC Planner.

Will it change my world?

No. MC Planner only reads your world. Your plans are stored separately.

Is my world uploaded?

Only if you share it. On your own, everything stays in your browser. When you share, the world files and a colour map are uploaded to our server so friends can open it with a link. Your game's textures are never uploaded.

What do my friends need?

The invite link, a free account and a desktop browser. They see your world with their own textures, or in map colours, and plan with you live.

Can I use schematics?

Yes: .litematic, .schem, .schematic and .nbt. Imported files stay in your browser and are never uploaded. Friends see a box with the link to the original until they import the same file.

Does it work on my phone?

MC Planner needs a desktop or laptop browser. It uses 3D graphics, keyboard shortcuts and your game files.

Is there a desktop app?

It's coming for Windows, macOS and Linux, and it will find your worlds and game files by itself. Join the Discord to hear first.

Is MC Planner made by Mojang or Microsoft?
