Starter Structure

Starter Structure adds the possibility to generate a specific structure when a world is first being generated. It looks in the config folder for schematic files, picks one, and places it at the spawn point.

Both structure block schematics (SBS, .nbt file) and WorldEdit schematics (WES, .schem/.schematic file) are supported. Both can contain entity data, which is used to spawn saved entities directly. For WES, use //copy -e to include them. Signs can also be placed in the schematic to decide where entities should spawn. For both, custom NBT data is supported. WorldEdit does not have to be installed for the mod to work! It would only be used to generate the schematic file, after which you can remove it. Schematics can also be created in another instance, and the file copied to a modpack.

There are also various config options available to specify where the player should spawn (and where the structure should generate) and how the structure should be placed. By default the structure is fitted to the terrain below it, with the gaps underneath filled up. Tree parts it leaves floating are removed as well. The structure can also generate in another dimension, where the first player arrives, which can be set in the config.

   All available config options:

Show Spoiler

shouldGenerateStructure  default true Whether a schematic that's located in './config/serilum/starterstructure/schematics/...' should be generated.

structureDimension  default "minecraft:overworld" The dimension the structure generates in. Outside the overworld, it generates where the first player arrives.

forceExactSpawn  default true Usually player spawn points are in a randomized area. With this enabled, players will always spawn at the set coordinates (at the nearest air pocket).

ignoreTreesDuringStructurePlacement  default true Prevents structures from being placed on top of trees. Any leaf and log blocks will be ignored during placement.

fitStructureToTerrain  default true Places the structure at the average ground height below it, and fills gaps underneath it with the ground block.

generationIgnoreJigsawAndStructureBlocks  default true Some schematic files might contain jigsaw or structure blocks. These are by default ignored during structure generation.

generateJigsawStructures  default false Whether jigsaw blocks in the schematic generate the pieces of their template pool, like the jigsaw block's Generate button.

jigsawGenerationLevels  default 6, min 0, max 20 How many levels of jigsaw pieces are generated from each jigsaw block. Used when generateJigsawStructures is enabled.

protectStructureBlocks  default true Whether the blocks from the generated structure should be protected from breaking/griefing.

protectSpawnedEntities  default true Whether entities spawned inside the generated structure should be protected from damage.

playersInCreativeModeIgnoreProtection  default true If enabled, players that are in creative mode will be able to break and place the structure blocks.

playersInCreativeModeIgnoreEntityProtection  default false If enabled, players that are in creative mode will be able to damage protected entities which spawned in structures.
