Before you start your journey in this new world, a word about height: See level is at 63 in minecraft, but at 0 in Minetest/Luanti. You will probably start at a low level, possibly in a wall. So, it's probably wise to attribute you the teleport priv and be prepared to teleport you immediatly at a higher point, when you start.

			The schematic will be saved in your new world.

			===Place schematic in your standard world===
			Finally, you have to place the schematic in your standard world. First, copy the /schem folder from your new world folder into the folder of your standard world (probably /world) and start your game with the standard world.
			To be able to place this schematic, you have to define a region with the same dimensions. Define this region by setting again pos 1 and pos 2. Enter the command
			<pre>//bigmtschemplace \<folder_name\></pre>
			The import will start at position 1 of your WorldEdit region which will be the lower left corner of the cuboid to be imported.

			Et voilà! You are all done. You will probably have to rework some details of your build.
