Starter Structure

shouldGenerateStructure (default = true): Whether a schematic that's located in './config/starterstructure/schematics/...' should be generated.
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.
generationIgnoreJigsawAndStructureBlocks (default = true): Some schematic files might contain jigsaw or structure blocks. These are by default ignored during structure generation.
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.
preventSpawnedEntityMovement (default = false): If spawned entities inside the generated structure should not be allowed to move away from the block they spawned on. Disabled by default.
spawnNonSignEntitiesFromSupportedSchematics (default = true): If entities from (structure block) schematic files should be spawned when found. These are entities not created with signs.

shouldUseStructurePosition (default = false): If the generatedStructurePosition config options should be used.
generatedStructureXPosition (default = 0, min -10000000, max 10000000): The exact x position for the generated structure. Used when shouldUseStructurePosition is enabled.
generatedStructureYPosition (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The exact y position for the generated structure. Used when shouldUseStructurePosition is enabled.
generatedStructureZPosition (default = 0, min -10000000, max 10000000): The exact z position for the generated structure. Used when shouldUseStructurePosition is enabled.

shouldUseStructureOffset (default = false): If the generatedStructureOffset config options should be used.
generatedStructureXOffset (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The x offset for the generated structure. Used when shouldUseStructureOffset is enabled.
generatedStructureYOffset (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The y offset for the generated structure. Can for example be set to -1 if you notice a building always spawns one block too high. Used when shouldUseStructureOffset is enabled.
generatedStructureZOffset (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The z offset for the generated structure. Used when shouldUseStructureOffset is enabled.

shouldUseSpawnCoordinates (default = false): If the spawnCoordinate config options should be used.
spawnXCoordinate (default = 0, min -10000000, max 10000000): The new X coordinate of the spawn when shouldUseSpawnCoordinates is enabled.
spawnYCoordinate (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The new Y coordinate of the spawn when shouldUseSpawnCoordinates is enabled.
spawnZCoordinate (default = 0, min -10000000, max 10000000): The new Z coordinate of the spawn when shouldUseSpawnCoordinates is enabled.

shouldUseSpawnCoordOffsets (default = false): If the spawnCoordOffset config options should be used.
spawnXCoordOffset (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The X coordinate offset of the spawn when shouldUseSpawnCoordOffsets is enabled.
spawnYCoordOffset (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The Y coordinate offset of the spawn when shouldUseSpawnCoordOffsets is enabled.
spawnZCoordOffset (default = 0, min -1000, max 1000): The Z coordinate offset of the spawn when shouldUseSpawnCoordOffsets is enabled.

Use the //wand command to receive the tool to set the corners of the schematic.




Left-Click the first block where you want the bottom corner to be.




Right-Click the second block of the opposite corner, make sure to break the temporary blocks after.
You can also use //pos2 command.




Stand where you want to spawn when the structure generates, and enter the //copy command.




Now do //schematic save <schematic-name> to generate the schematic file.




The file will be saved in ./config/worldedit/schematics




Copy it over to Starter Structure's config folder ./config/starterstructure/schematics




Starter Structure will now generate the copied structure whenever a new world is generated!
If multiple schematics are inside ./config/starterstructure/schematics, one will be chosen at random.

A simple entity:

--------------------------
[Entity]
modid:entityid
--------------------------



New lines are ignored. These 3 signs are all the same, and will spawn a villager in its place on structure generation.


Custom NBT data sign:
If you'd like to spawn an entity that's less simple, for example with a custom name or custom items, you can make a reference to a file containing that data.
Start with the [NBT] line. Then specify the file name below that. This can be anything.

--------------------------
[NBT]
nbtfilename
--------------------------




This will look for entity data inside ./config/starterstructure/signdata/igloo_entity.txt






This file contains the following NBT data:





And will spawn a named zombie entity with items and a status effect when the structure generates:





The entity NBT data is basically just a /summon command. There are various websites available to help you generate it.
You can for example use the website MCStacker to generate an entity, via their /summon page.




You can put the entire generated /summon command inside the ./config/starterstructure/signdata/file.txt:





Starter Structure will remove the /summon part and generate the correct NBT data with ID.
