Preview of a blueprint string.

This is a technical description of the blueprint string format, used to share blueprints with other users.

A blueprint string is a JSON representation of the blueprint, compressed with zlib deflate using compression level 9 and then encoded using base64 with a version byte in front of the encoded string. The version byte is currently 0 (for all Factorio versions through 1.1). So to get the JSON representation of a blueprint from a blueprint string, skip the first byte, base64 decode the string, and finally decompress using zlib inflate.

Json representation of a blueprint/blueprint book

The json representation of a blueprint or blueprint book is one large object inside another "wrapping" object, its key inside that object is either blueprint or blueprint-book.

Blueprint book object

Key Description Data type
item String, the name of the item that was saved ("blueprint-book" in vanilla). String
label String, the name of the blueprint set by the user. String
label_color The color of the label of this blueprint. Optional. #Color object. Object
blueprints The actual content of the blueprint book, array of objects containing an "index" key and 0-based value and a "blueprint" key with a #Blueprint object as the value. Array
active_index Index of the currently selected blueprint, 0-based. Integer
version The map version of the map the blueprint was created in, see Version string format. Integer (long)
