What MagicalChalk is
MagicalChalk is a free Minecraft mod for creating, importing, exporting, converting, and placing structures. It supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.x and works in single-player, LAN, and server environments, including dedicated servers. Structure Chalk lets players mark an area by clicking two corners and save it to server world storage. A selected blueprint can then be placed in-game with a right-click, replacing obstacles. The mod handles .chalk, .json, and .nbt files, and converts Litematica .litematic, WorldEdit or Sponge .schem, and vanilla structure files. Its import manager searches files and shows dimensions, volume, block count, and file size. Magic Chalk Studio includes placement, brush, line, shape, selection, paste, erase, undo, and redo tools. A public API lets other mods register structures and connect them to biomes. The interface is available in English and French.
