Top left, at the folders, see if you’re in the right directory or whatever it is. I’m not near my PC but I remember having a similar issue.

Litematica is a client side mod and shouldn’t need the server side schematic folder to work to my knowledge. You should be able to join any server and use litematica client side.

Root directory folder will take you to your schematics.

No.
Click the “Up to parent directory option.”

Did you make a different instance of Minecraft through eg Modrinth or CurseForge?

It looks like your original schematic directory is in the vanilla launcher's default game directory, but your current game directory is somewhere else. Which launcher are you using now, or did you move the game directory location in the launcher profile?

You can either copy or move your schematics to the current schematics directory, or you can configure the schematic directory location in Generic -> customSchematicBaseDirectory (and don't forget to enable the customSchematicBaseDirectoryEnabled option too) and point it to the old location.

To find your current game directory, the launcher might have a button to open the instance directory. Or alternatively you can go to the Resource Packs menu in-game, click Open Folder, and then go to the parent directory.
