Autonomous Printing

Autonomous printing

/loominary walk print handles carpet placement for you: your player walks the platform area in a serpentine pattern and places every carpet from the Litematica placement, including restocking itself from chests and going back for anything it missed.

Setup

1. Install IceTank's litematica-printer alongside Litematica. Loominary toggles the printer itself while printing; you never configure it directly.
2. Load and position your carpet schematic as a Litematica placement (placement guide).
3. Stock chests near the platform with the needed carpets, then run /loominary carpets catalogue. It scans a 48-block radius (±6 vertically) and memorizes which chest holds which color, persisting the map to loominary_chest_memory.json.
4. Optionally /loominary carpets balance to pre-arrange your inventory to the schematic's material list.
5. Stand at the platform's starting corner and:

/loominary walk print

What it does

• Serpentine bands: the platform is covered in bands of columns (default width 5; override with /loominary walk print <width>, 1–64). Rows alternate direction per band so the walk never backtracks.
• Adaptive pacing: it looks 5 blocks ahead and slows down for dense regions and color-swap-heavy patches rather than outrunning the printer, so placements the server would reject never get attempted. Base rhythm comes from the duty-cycle walker (default 0.5 s forward / 1.0 s pause; tune with /loominary walk <onTicks> <offTicks>).
• Self-restocking: when a color runs out, it pathfinds (A*, up to 96 blocks) to the catalogued chest, refills, and returns, up to 3 attempts per restock before it asks for help.
• Missed-cell recovery: every 8 ticks it re-scans a 12-block radius for holes (lag, collisions, chunk hiccups), darts back to fix them, and will break up to 3 wrong-colored carpets per target to correct mistakes. A band isn't done until it's verified.
• Completion: it stops itself when the placement is complete and reports per-band progress in chat along the way. A watchdog caps any run at ~1 hour.

Controls

Command	Effect
/loominary walk print [width]	start (optionally set band width)
/loominary walk print stop	stop printing
/loominary walk	plain duty-cycle auto-walk toggle (no printing)
/loominary walk <on> <off>	walk/pause tick timings (e.g. 10 20 = 0.5 s / 1.0 s)
/loominary walk printer on|off	verbose printer debug logging
/loominary stop	the global kill switch; halts print, walk, fill, catalogue

Notes

• Alt-tabbing is fine; the walker doesn't need window focus.
• The printer places as fast as the server accepts; the pacing adapts instead of spamming.
• Check your server's rules on automation before using this on shared servers.
