[1.12] [Solved] Generating Structures with nbt files

[GooberGunter]

I've been trying to make a structure using the nbt files from the structure block but I don't know where to start, are there any guides, tutorials, or original minecraft code that I could look at? I'd look at the igloo code but I haven't been able to find it

 

EDIT: I found it. It just happened to be in the only one I somehow missed: ComponentScatteredFeaturePieces.java

But I don't know what parts from the igloo class I do need and what parts I don't need

As I said in the other thread, you need to create a Template variable. It takes a TemplateManager (which you can get from WorldServer) and a ResourceLocation for your NBT file (and maybe a couple other parameters). Once you have this, just call the addBlocksToWorld method when you want to generate the structure.

 

I have an example here, though this is kinda complicated code. Just look for Templates in it and it should give you an idea.

Yeah, I looked at your code and I get the concept completely, I got the results I wanted. Thanks! I completely forgot that you had linked the example
