Formations (Structure Library)

Formations is a library mod which adds additional features to datapacks for generating structures!

Features

Structure Types

Formations adds two new structure types: formations:simple and formations:pieced. These essentially correspond to the vanilla regular and jigsaw structure types, but with better placement and a clearer json format. Both types can choose from the following placements:

Identifier	Description
surface	Will place the structure at the top layer of solid blocks
ceiling	Will place the at the bottom layer of solid blocks
on_water	Will place the structure at the top layer of blocks if those blocks are water
on_lava	Will place the structure at the top layer of blocks if those blocks are lava
underground	Will place the structure somewhere between the top and bottom layers of blocks
underground_surface	Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, at the bottom of an open area
underground_ceiling	Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, at the top of an open area
underground_buried	Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, such that it is not exposed to any open area
underground_on_lava	Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, in an open area on top of lava

Structure Pool Element Types

Formations adds one new structure pool element type, formations:single_pool_element. The element type allows setting a different ground level rather than vanilla's fixed ground level of 0. The ground level can be set through the ground_level key.
