litematica material list to stacks and raw materials

How to turn a Litematica material list into raw resources

Open Options and lists, paste the list under Paste a material list and tap Add to items. Recognized blocks go in as targets and the rest goes to a list of unrecognized names.

What Litematica exports and what the calculator reads

On the material list screen, Litematica has a button that writes the list to a file. It saves a text table with the columns Item, Total, Missing and Available, or a CSV with the same columns when you hold Shift. If the list uses a multiplier, the header becomes Total (x2), Total (x3) and so on, and the calculator recognizes that variation. The value read is always Total, not Missing.
Each name on the list is looked up by the item name in English, the name in Portuguese or the game identifier. Loose lines such as 64 x Glass or Piston: 12 also work, which helps when pasting a hand-made list. Names that are not craftable items, such as water or technical blocks, and names Litematica wrote in another language end up in a separate list, so you see at once what was left out.
Once pasted, the list becomes a single calculation. The Materials tab shows what to mine, in stacks and shulker boxes, and the total items going through the furnace. That way the house list shares planks, logs and recipe leftovers, instead of adding each block on its own. Check the Have field afterwards: what you already stored in chests drops off the list, and you can copy the result as a shopping list, Markdown, CSV or link.

Checked examples

Oak planks

Input: | Oak Planks | 1024 |
Expected output: 256 oak logs (4 stacks)

Each log makes 4 planks.

Glass

Input: | Glass | 30 |
Expected output: 30 sand, 30 smelted, 4 coal

30 items at 8 per coal: 3.75, rounded up to 4.

Stone bricks

Input: | Stone Bricks | 200 |
Expected output: 200 cobblestone (3 stacks + 8), 200 smelted, 25 coal

The cobblestone becomes stone in the furnace before the bricks.

All three lines together

Input: Oak Planks 1024, Glass 30, Stone Bricks 200
Expected output: 256 oak logs, 200 cobblestone, 30 sand; 9 slots; 230 smelted; 29 coal

Fits in one shulker box (9 of 27 slots).

Full tool FAQ

How does the calculator handle recipes that make several items?

It adds up what each item needs across all branches and only then rounds the number of crafts up. One log makes 4 planks; if you need 5, that is 2 logs and 3 planks left over. Leftovers show on the Materials tab and are reused by other items on your list before more raw material is requested.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the tool understand the names Litematica writes?

Litematica writes the item name in the game language. The calculator looks up each name among the English names, the Portuguese names and the identifiers, ignoring case and accents.

What if the list has blocks the tool does not know?

They show under Not recognized and stay out of the math. They are usually blocks that do not exist as a craftable item, like water, or names in another language. Edit the line and add it again.

Can I use the Missing column instead of Total?

The reading uses Total. To discount what is already done, enter the amount under Have for each material or use the Missing list with lines in the 64 x Name format.
