[1.12] Generating Structures?

[Big_Bad_E]

So, I have just started 1.12 modding, and immediately I notice the lack of tutorials, and after about 15-30 minutes of searching, I couldn't find a single thing about making structures, not in the forge docs, not on youtube, google, etc... so I decided to try and make a tread because of the lack of available knowledge. I am pretty sure I need to implement IWorldGenerator, but have no idea on the needed methods. Other mods that did this were outdated, not on github, or super complex, so that was all I could get. I would appreciate any help : )

Use Minecraft's Structure Blocks to save a structure to NBT, which you can then use in code to load the structure.

 

Create a new Template instance with the resource location of your structure.nbt file, and call Template#addBlocksToWorld to spawn the structure. You can do this in your WorldGenerator class.
