• Client-Side Rendering — Zero server impact, instant updates.
  • Schematic Support — Native .schem file loading and displaying.
  • Audience Control — Show blocks only to specific players.
  • Interaction — Trigger events on "fake" block break/interact.

Entries

• Actions — Schematic Block: Display a schematic.
  • Audience — Schematic Audience: Regional visibility. Item Audience: Visibility by held item.
  • Cinematics — Schematic Cinematic: Animated block sequences.
  • Artifacts — Schematic State: Persistent block states.

Troubleshooting

The extension is not visible

Check that the installed release matches the supported TypeWriter release and that the related extensions listed in the compatibility section are present.

An entry is missing

In the Typewriter Web panel, use the Search bar or the + button to find or create the entry with its exact identifier. Entry IDs and field names are case-sensitive; do not translate them.

The entry saves but nothing happens

Check that the entry is connected to the trigger, command, objective, event, or menu interaction required by its type. Test with optional permissions and criteria removed, then add them back one at a time.

An integration does not work

Verify the dependency and version shown in the extension card, then check the server log for the first error. Do not replace a missing dependency with a similarly named plugin unless the extension source explicitly supports it.
