Reading Schematics

[NullDev]

I am creating a mod that has blocks that build structures, but I don't want to code in each of the positions for blocks by hand, so I want to use schematics. How would I start going about reading a schematic with forge?

You could look at how vanilla minecraft load its .nbt structure files. the Igloo is a pretty simple one, so it would be a good place to start. You can find other examples about loading structures from file here: https://github.com/Beethoven92/BetterEndForge

Alright. It seems it uses TemplateManager, and I have figured out how to get that, ang grab a Template using it, but how do I get the blocks from said template?

if (!world.isRemote) {
  TemplateManager manager = world.getServer().func_241755_D_().getStructureTemplateManager();
  Template template = manager.getTemplate(new ResourceLocation(ModBase.MODID, "schematics/small_house"));
}

It turns out using 

TemplateManager manager = world.getServer().func_241755_D_().getStructureTemplateManager();

crashes if its a singleplayer world, even with the !world.isRemote, so how else do I get the TemplateManager?

 

And I think to get the blocks I just do

BlockPos temp = new BlockPos(pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ());
template.func_215386_a(temp, new PlacementSettings(), Blocks.ACACIA_WOOD, true);

Please, post a link to your repository so we can see the whole code...those few lines of code are completely decontextualized and it is very hard to tell what you are actually doing

Sorry it took me so long, but here you go. I am trying to build it block by block from a tileentity. The code for the building is in the OneBlockBuilderTileEntityAbstract class. I currently have my own system implemented, but I'd prefer to use schematics, because those will be easier for complex structures.
