McTo3D – Bridging Minecraft and 3D Printing

Bring your Minecraft creations into the tangible world. The McTo3D mod is an innovative tool for those who want to connect their imaginative Minecraft builds with the possibilities of 3D printing. This mod serves as an intuitive computer-aided design (CAD) solution right within the game, making it easy for players to choose, modify, and export their designs in formats widely accepted by popular slicing software like Bambu Studio, Cura, and PrusaSlicer. Whether you’re crafting intricate architectural models or unique figures, McTo3D simplifies the entire process from placing blocks to generating STL files.

🌟 Essential Features

🛠️ Accurate Selection Tools

Select your export area with precision through one of two methods:

• Golden Hoe Selection: Use the Golden Hoe to quickly specify corners (Left-Click for Position 1, Right-Click for Position 2).
• Command Selection: Utilize /pos1 and /pos2 for exact coordinate targeting based on your location in the game.

📐 Manipulating the Axis

Want to include deep underground structures or towering roofs without relocating?

• Vertical Expansion: Adjust the limits of your selection effortlessly with the /expand command.
  • Example: /expand 10 extends your selection upwards by 10 blocks.
  • Example: /expand -5 extends your selection downwards by 5 blocks.

💾 Diverse Export Modes

McTo3D provides multiple export options designed for your specific hardware:

• Raw Mode: Exports only the geometry, perfect for simple prints or later processing in software like Blender.
• Color Mode: Exports geometry with integrated color information, specifically designed for multi-material systems such as Bambu Lab AMS or Prusa MMU, enabling vibrant full-color 3D prints straight from Minecraft.

📋 Steps to Utilize McTo3D

1. Define Area: Equip yourself with a Golden Hoe and click on two corners of the area you wish to export (Left/Right click).
2. Modify Height: (Optional) Use /expand if you wish to include the roof or basement that may have been left out during your initial selection.
3. Export Your Design: Execute the command /export3d.
4. Find the File: Go to your .minecraft/exports directory to locate the file you just generated.
5. Slice & Print: Open the file with your chosen slicing software to prepare for printing.
