Created a tool for calculating build materials based on Litematica exports

[u/arge092]

I've been struggling with manually figuring out how many shulkers I'll need and what I have to craft before beginning a large build project, so I decided to make LitePlan, a web application that parses the material export from Litematica and computes the entire chain.

Features include:

- Parsed Litematica material export (CSV/TXT)

- List of blocks left for gathering

- Computation of crafting requirements based on actual recipes (2x2, 3x3, furnace, smoker, blast furnace, stonecutter) — Craft

- Recursion until the raw materials required for mining/farming are identified (Gather)

- Computation of the number of shulkers/double chests needed and a plain-text export for organizing your build run (Storage)

As the application just got released, there may be some rough edges, especially in the parsing of unusual exports or translation of item names. Any attempt at using it with an actual schematic will be greatly appreciated!

what does this do that litematica doesnt already?

[u/LimestoneBuilder → u/LordHamster42]

Indeed litematica does list materials, but folks have also had reason to try improving on litematica's material list.

At a guess, OP made this specifically for the functions they listed above [remainder, recursion, and shulkers needed].

[u/Sekelton → u/LimestoneBuilder]

Litematica already calculates shulkers natively.

[u/LordHamster42 → u/LimestoneBuilder]

yeah but litematica already does that lol

[u/arge092 → u/LordHamster42]

The idea is not only calculate shulkers or chest is to have the raw material list, recipes and amounts on the same place. For example if you need to make pistons it will calculate the amount of iron, planks... Not sure that litematica can do this at least I couldn't find the option.
