Litematica for Minecraft 1.20.1 is release 0.15.4, paired with MaLiLib 0.16.3. This is the final build for one of Minecraft’s most durable versions: the official project published exactly five 1.20.1 releases (0.15.0 through 0.15.4), and 0.15.4 — released on July 22, 2024 — closed the line. Years later, 1.20.1 remains the backbone of countless modpacks and long-running worlds, which makes this “old” page one of the most visited on this site.
Version 0.15.4 comes from the period when masa, Litematica’s creator, maintained the mod directly — the community ports by sakura-ryoko begin with Minecraft 1.20.5. It is a Fabric mod with the full core feature set players expect: schematic capture and holographic projection, the material list, layer-by-layer rendering, Easy Place, and the schematic verifier. Everything on this page is the official pair; there is no newer 1.20.1 file hiding anywhere, whatever other download sites suggest.

Download
Download Litematica 0.15.4 for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Modrinth)
Download MaLiLib 0.16.3 for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Modrinth)
Mirror copies: Litematica mirror · MaLiLib mirror. Site mirror (Terabox) — not an official link. The Modrinth release above is always the reference version.
Both buttons lead to the official Modrinth release files published by the Litematica project. You need both jars: Litematica will not start without the matching MaLiLib build in the same mods folder. The full version table for every Minecraft release is on the download page.
Installation Notes
- Final means final. If a site offers “Litematica 0.15.5” or a “1.20.1 update” newer than 0.15.4, it is not the official project — the Modrinth file list for 1.20.1 stops at 0.15.4. Use the pair above.
- Both jars, same folder. litematica-fabric-1.20.1-0.15.4.jar and malilib-fabric-1.20.1-0.16.3.jar go into .minecraft/mods unextracted. MaLiLib is a hard dependency, not an optional extra.
- Keep modpack instances separate. 1.20.1 modpacks often bundle their own MaLiLib for other masa mods. If a pack already includes MaLiLib 0.16.x for 1.20.1, do not drop in a second copy — one MaLiLib jar per instance.
- Menu keys. M opens the Litematica menu, M + C the config, M + V the schematic verifier. If nothing happens, check for keybind conflicts with other mods in the pack — crowded 1.20.1 instances make this common.
- Schematics are portable. .litematic files created on newer versions generally load here, and files you save here load in current builds — the format is shared across the whole version range covered by this site.
Why 1.20.1 Refuses to Die
Most old Minecraft versions fade once the next one lands; 1.20.1 never did. A huge share of the modding ecosystem — big content mods, established modpacks, and long-running servers and single-player worlds — standardized on 1.20.1 and stayed there, so the version keeps a player base that newer releases have not absorbed. For Litematica that means this finished build still does daily work: technical players test redstone contraptions in 1.20.1 creative worlds, farm designers publish schematics built and verified on this version, and modpack players load those files without any conversion, because the .litematic format is the same across the whole version range.
The rest of masa’s mod family fits the same picture. MiniHUD, Tweakeroo, and Item Scroller all have their own 1.20.1-era builds and all of them run on this same MaLiLib 0.16.3 — one shared library file serves the whole set, which is how masa designed the ecosystem. If you add Litematica to an instance that already runs one of its sibling mods, you very likely already have the correct MaLiLib in the folder; check the file name before downloading a second copy, since duplicate library jars are their own source of loader errors.
Playing on Forge Instead?
Litematica itself is Fabric-only for modern Minecraft; masa never released an official Forge build for 1.20.1 (the only official Forge version is the ancient 1.12.2 one). Forge players are not locked out, though: Forgematica is a third-party, unofficial port of Litematica for the (Neo)Forge loaders, maintained by TexTrue. It uses its own companion library, MaFgLib, rather than the MaLiLib file on this page, and its feature parity and update timing are the port author’s responsibility — we link it as an editorial pointer for Forge users, not as an official Litematica release. If your 1.20.1 world is on Fabric, stay with the official 0.15.4 pair above; if your pack is Forge-based, Forgematica is the project to look at.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the latest Litematica for Minecraft 1.20.1?
Litematica 0.15.4 with MaLiLib 0.16.3. It is also the final build for this game version — the official project’s 1.20.1 line contains only releases 0.15.0 to 0.15.4, and 0.15.4 (July 22, 2024) is the newest.
Is there a Forge version of Litematica for 1.20.1?
Not an official one. Litematica is a Fabric mod; the only official Forge build is for Minecraft 1.12.2. Forge 1.20.1 players can use Forgematica, an unofficial third-party port by TexTrue that depends on MaFgLib instead of MaLiLib.
Will Litematica for 1.20.1 get more updates?
The 1.20.1 line is complete: no newer build than 0.15.4 exists on the official project, and new development goes to current Minecraft versions. For 1.20.1 worlds and modpacks, 0.15.4 is the finished, stable release to standardize on.
Does Litematica 0.15.4 work in 1.20.1 modpacks?
Yes, as long as the pack runs the Fabric Loader and includes (or lets you add) MaLiLib 0.16.3 for 1.20.1. Many packs already ship MaLiLib for other masa mods; in that case add only the Litematica jar and keep the single shared library.
