Information
Adds new functionality to the world generator. It automatically spawns various structures based on schematics during world generation on the server side. It works both with server and client-integrated server. Strutures can reach gigantic proportions and generates as quickly as possible. During the world exploration you can discover neatly pasted schematics that looks harmonically with environment. Any user can add arbitrary schematic to make it possible automatically appear in the world. Collected more than 2900+ great schematics and include them to standard mod releases. Mod config provides the ability to adjust spawn rates. There is possibility to generate villages constructed from schematic sets.
Details
First time launching this mod with 3000 schematics consumes about 1-5 min in forge loading screen, because of reading new schematic entails appropriate calculating dump files to speed up pasting routine in future. If your schematic have ground level with grass, gravel, stone, dirt etc. it will dig down as it is necessary. if your scheme made roughly, paste process will automatically detect air outside of your structure and place it goodly. Creatures automatically spawns inside buildings. For example blazes and ghasts in nether, villagers in village, cave spiders in undergrounds. Every chest have random loot according to configuration and may reproduce some schematic-native items. I spent many time to identify the best approach of the problem of the most beautiful schematic insertion in the world. I realize that schematic cosmetic-configuring is very time-expensive, so I decide to entrust this job to computer. I figured out many ennobling approaches and sewed it all to the mod.
Features:
- Arbitrary schematics supported
- Compact village generation
- Available all possible types of buildings: Common, Underground, Underwater, Afloat, Sky, Hill
- Accurate pasting and position calculation with several nearby attempts
- Handling any inconvenience things that may happen
- Automatic schematic parsing and biome determination
- Keep tile entities like in schematic (Text signs, Command blocks, Spawners, Chests, etc)
- Random chest loot
- Random mobs spawn-control
- Automatic mob-population inside generated structures
- Flexible configuration of entire generation processes
- In-game creative commands to paste schematics or even villages
- Any players can combine their own schematic sets
- Built-in schematic rotation and flipping algorithms
- Lots of best schematics collected and it number over 2900
- No dependencies
Differences with Placemod:
- Major changes in logic system.
- Fixed most bugs.
- Fixed critical bug when overlapping blocks had not removed tile entities.
- Much more accurate soil-roughness calculations.
- Spawn attempts order to surely spawn some type of building if it possible.
- Universal world-cache system for fast and more simple world control.
- Convenient spawn commands for schematic and village.
- Isolated dump-files.
- Biome spawn relations improvements.
- Workable Command block, Text Signs and Dispensers
- Random chest loot for all versions
Limitations
- Schematic proportions W <= 1024, H <= 256, L <= 1024
- Schematic volume <= 256^3
- Schematic file size <= 16 MB
- Java: 1.7+
Schematics
You can find all .schematic inside schematics folder that you have to put inside your .minecraft root directory.
By default it has next subdirectories: Common, Floating, Underground, Underwater, Water, Village.
You can put your own folders and schematics inside without any problems.
Important folder names:
- Common conventional buildings
- Sky | Floating hovering in the sky, like floating islands
- Underground fully dug into the ground
- Underwater appears under water
- Afloat | Water spawns exactly on water
- Village same folder schematics tries to appear all at once as village
- Hill | Mountain spawns like basic buildings, but without roughness-accuracy bias.
You can add your schematics to any sub-folder of
%appdata%/.minecraft/schematics/Your_Schematics.
Biomes determines automatically and fully isolated from players and builders.

Commands
Pasting schematic in the world. Each field may not be specified. Available only for creative users.
/structpro paste
- name= Select random schematic which path contains this name (default = "")
- posX= Position X in the world (default = Player position X)
- posY= Position Y in the world (default = Player position Y) (Put = 0 To auto detect height)
- posZ= Position Z in the world (default = Player position Z)
- rotateX= Rotation around X axis (default = random 0) [not works]
- rotateY= Rotation around Y axis (default = random 0..3)
- rotateZ= Rotation around Z axis (default = random 0) [not works]
- flipX= Flip X axis (default = random true..false)
- flipY= Flip Y axis (default = random false) [You want flip your building upside down?]
- flipZ= Flip Z axis (default = random true..false)
- village= Spawn entire village (default = false)
FAQ
- Are you using any dependencies like schematica to spawn structures in the world?
- Placemod are fully independent. It can be easily added or removed.
- Where does the schematic folder go?
- %appdata%/.minecraft/schematics/
- For using own schematics, do we also need something?
- You need only to put schematics in the folder. Nothing more.
- How to make structures more rare?
- Go to config and open structpro.cfg file then put density, for instance 10 times less than before (0.005 -> 0.0005)
Known bugs
- Incorrect rotation metadata: Portals, Electrical Rails.
- Creative command "paste" may produce structures with invisible mobs. Chunk reloading helps.
- Forge logo screen not showing loading progress.
Installation
- Put downloaded jar to your minecraft mods folder
- Download and unzip the schematics and put %appdata%/.minecraft/schematics
