Which programs open a .glb model?

GLB is the binary GLTF format read by Blender, three.js, Windows 3D Viewer, and most modern 3D and game engines.

Can I 3D print the result?

You can import the GLB into a modeling tool to prepare it for printing, though block-detailed builds may need cleanup for a printable mesh.

Are the block textures embedded in the file?

Yes. Textures are packed inside the .glb, so the model looks like the Minecraft build without any extra files.

Does the .schem need to be Sponge format?

Yes. This route reads modern Sponge .schem files. Legacy .schematic files should use the schematic-to-glb route instead.

Convert .schem to .glb

Turn a WorldEdit or Sponge schematic into a standalone 3D model. Bloxelizer reads the .schem file, renders the blocks with their textures, and exports a .glb model for Blender, three.js, or any GLTF-compatible tool.

The .schem and .glb formats

A Sponge .schem stores namespaced block states for WorldEdit — data about which block sits where, not a renderable mesh. The .glb format is binary glTF 2.0 carrying geometry and embedded textures. The conversion renders each block in the schematic into a textured mesh and packages it as a glTF model for Blender, three.js, or preparing a build for 3D printing.

How to convert .schem to .glb

Upload your .schem file in the converter below.

Select .glb as the export format and download the 3D model.

When to use this conversion

Use this route to render a schematic outside Minecraft, drop it into a game engine or animation, or prepare a build for 3D printing.

Compatibility notes

The GLB export captures blocks and textures as geometry. Redstone, entities, and in-game behavior are not represented in a 3D model.
