-====== Generating Structures ======
+====== Adding Structure Features ======
-===== Features =====
-All code used in this tutorial is available here: [[https://github.com/Draylar/fabric-structure-example-repo|fabric-structure-example-repo]]
-==== Introduction ====
-This page is old, and will need to be rewritten once 1.16 is released, accounting new structure registry changes.
 We’re going to look at registering and placing structures in your world.
-To view examples of 1.14 vanilla structures in action, IglooGenerator & IglooFeature are a good place to start.
+To view examples of vanilla structures in action, ''IglooFeature'' and ''IglooGenerator'' are a good place to start.
-You are going to need a Feature and Generator for the most basic structure. The feature handles the process of registering the structure and loading it in when the world is generating-- it answers questions such as ‘should I spawn here?’ and ‘what is my name?’ The generator handles the placement of blocks or loading in a structure file if you choose to do so.

-==== Creating a Feature ====
+===== Creating a Feature =====
+To create a basic feature, we recommend creating a class that extends ''StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig>''.
+Various vanilla structures, such as shipwrecks, igloos, and temples, use ''StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig>'' as a base.
-To create a basic feature, we recommend creating a class that extends AbstractTempleFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig>. Various vanilla structures, such as Shipwrecks, Igloos, and Temples, use AbstractTempleFeature as a base. You will have to override the following methods:
+You will have to override ''getStructureStartFactory'' method.
+For ''getStructureStartFactory'', most vanilla structures make a class that extends ''StructureStart'' inside their feature class.
-  * shouldStartAt: return true for testing purposes.
+<code java>
-  * getName: name of your structure
+public class MyFeature extends StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig> {
-  * getRadius: radius of your structure, used for placement
+  public MyFeature(Codec<DefaultFeatureConfig> codec) {
-  * getSeeedModifier
+    super(codec);
+  }
-You can pass DefaultFeatureConfig::deserialize into your constructor for testing.
+  @Override
+  public StructureFeature.StructureStartFactory<DefaultFeatureConfig> getStructureStartFactory() {
+    return Start::new;
+  }
-For getStructureStartFactory, most vanilla structures make a class that extends StructureStart inside their Feature class:
+  public static class Start extends StructureStart<DefaultFeatureConfig> {
+    public Start(StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig> feature, int chunkX, int chunkZ, BlockBox box, int references,
-<code java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+        long seed) {
-public static class MyStructureStart extends StructureStart {
+      super(feature, chunkX, chunkZ, box, references, seed);
-    public MyStructureStart (StructureFeature<?> feature, int chunkX, int chunkZ, BlockBox box, int references, long seed) {
-        super(feature, chunkX, chunkZ, box, references, seed);
     }
-    @Override
-    public void initialize(ChunkGenerator<?> chunkGenerator, StructureManager structureManager, int chunkX, int chunkZ, Biome biome) {
+    // Called when the world attempts to spawn in a new structure, and is the gap between your feature and generator.
-        DefaultFeatureConfig defaultFeatureConfig = chunkGenerator.getStructureConfig(biome, MyMainclass.myFeature);
+    public void init(DynamicRegistryManager registryManager, ChunkGenerator chunkGenerator, StructureManager manager, int chunkX,
-        int x = chunkX * 16;
+        int chunkZ, Biome biome, DefaultFeatureConfig config) {
-        int z = chunkZ * 16;
+      int x = chunkX * 16;
-        BlockPos startingPos = new BlockPos(x, 0, z);
+      int z = chunkZ * 16;
-        Rotation rotation = Rotation.values()[this.random.nextInt(Rotation.values().length)];
+      int y = chunkGenerator.getHeight(x, z, Heightmap.Type.WORLD_SURFACE_WG);
-        MyGenerator.addParts(structureManager, startingPos, rotation, this.children, this.random, defaultFeatureConfig);
+      BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(x, y, z);
-        this.setBoundingBoxFromChildren();
+      BlockRotation rotation = BlockRotation.random(this.random);
+      MyGenerator.addPieces(manager, pos, rotation, this.children);
+      this.setBoundingBoxFromChildren();
     }
+  }
 }
 </code>
-This is called when the world attempts to spawn in a new structure, and is the gap between your Feature and Generator. The reference to the variable in your main class doesn't exist yet, but we'll create it at the end. You can also just set the config equal to a new DefaultFeatureConfig. You can return this in getStructureStartFactory with return MyStructureStart::new.
-This is where structure files and generating straight from a generate method part ways. There are two ways to go about this:
+===== Creating a Generator =====
+As you have probably noticed, we need to create a generator.
-  * If you want, you can simply override generate in your Feature class and use setBlockState to place blocks directly in the world. This is a valid option and was popular pre-1.13.
+This is where structure files and generating straight from a ''generate'' method part ways. There are two ways to go about this:
-  * Use structure files and a Generator. These are rather powerful at this point and are highly recommended.

-As you have probably noticed, we need to create a generator. We'll name it MyGenerator, and it's referenced in the initialize method of your StructureStart class. It doesn't need to override anything, but does require the following:
+In this tutorial, we'll use a structure file.
+It doesn't need to override anything, but does require the following:
+  * An identifier that points to your structure file; use ''"igloo/top"'' if you need an example.
+  * Some sort of setup method - ''addPieces'' is a good name.
-  * An Identifier that points to your structure file; use "igloo/top" if you need an example.
+<code java>
-  * Some sort of setup method - addParts is a good name:
+public class MyGenerator {

-<code java>
+  public static void addPieces(StructureManager manager, BlockPos pos, BlockRotation rotation, List<StructurePiece> pieces) {

+    pieces.add(new MyPiece(manager, pos, IGLOO_TOP, rotation));
-    List<StructurePiece> list_1, Random random_1, DefaultFeatureConfig featureConfig)
+  }
 }
 </code>
-In your addParts method, you can choose which structure pieces are added to your generation process. You can add a piece like this:
+In your ''addPieces'' method, you can choose which structure pieces are added to your generation process.
+We're now going to create the piece we just referenced; make a class called ''MyPiece'' that extends ''SimpleStructurePiece'' //within your generator class//.
+Override required methods, and add a constructor that takes in a ''StructureManager'', ''BlockPos'', ''Identifier'' and ''Rotation''.
+**toNbt isn't required but is available if you need it**.
+We're also implementing ''initializeStructureData'', which is not an override.
+We also have 2 constructors: 1 for our own pieces, and one for registry.
+A basic template would be:
 <code java>
-list_1.add(new MyGenerator.Piece(structureManager_1, identifier, blockPos, rotation_1));
+public static class MyPiece extends SimpleStructurePiece {
-</code>
+  private final BlockRotation rotation;
+  private final Identifier template;
-where the identifier is the path we created recently.
-We're now going to create the Piece we just referenced; make a class called Piece that extends SimpleStructurePiece //within your generator class//.
+  public MyPiece(StructureManager structureManager, CompoundTag compoundTag) {
+    super(ExampleMod.MY_PIECE, compoundTag);
+    this.template = new Identifier(compoundTag.getString("Template"));
+    this.rotation = BlockRotation.valueOf(compoundTag.getString("Rot"));
+    this.initializeStructureData(structureManager);
+  }
-Override required methods, and add a constructor that takes in a StructureManager, Identifier, BlockPos, and Rotation. **toNbt isn't required but is available if you need it**. We're also implementing our own setStructureData with different arguments, so it's not an override. We also have 2 constructors: 1 for our own pieces, and one for registry. A basic template would be:
+  public MyPiece(StructureManager structureManager, BlockPos pos, Identifier template, BlockRotation rotation) {
+    super(ExampleMod.MY_PIECE, 0);
+    this.pos = pos;
+    this.rotation = rotation;
+    this.template = template;
-<code java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+    this.initializeStructureData(structureManager);
-public static class Piece extends SimpleStructurePiece {
+  }
-    private Rotation rotation;
-    private Identifier template;
+  private void initializeStructureData(StructureManager structureManager) {
+    Structure structure = structureManager.getStructureOrBlank(this.template);
-    public Piece(StructureManager structureManager_1, Identifier identifier_1, BlockPos blockPos_1, Rotation rotation_1) {
+    StructurePlacementData placementData = (new StructurePlacementData())
-        super(MyModClass.myStructurePieceType, 0);
+      .setRotation(this.rotation)
+      .setMirror(BlockMirror.NONE)
-        this.pos = blockPos_1;
+      .addProcessor(BlockIgnoreStructureProcessor.IGNORE_STRUCTURE_BLOCKS);
-        this.rotation = rotation_1;
+    this.setStructureData(structure, this.pos, placementData);
-        this.template = identifier_1;
+  }
-        this.setStructureData(structureManager_1);
-    }
-    public Piece(StructureManager structureManager_1, CompoundTag compoundTag_1) {

-        this.identifier = new Identifier(compoundTag_1.getString("Template"));
-        this.rotation = Rotation.valueOf(compoundTag_1.getString("Rot"));
-        this.setStructureData(structureManager_1);

-    @Override

-        compoundTag_1.putString("Template", this.template.toString());
-        compoundTag_1.putString("Rot", this.rotation.name());
-    }
-    public void setStructureData(StructureManager structureManager) {
-        Structure structure_1 = structureManager.getStructureOrBlank(this.identifier);
-        StructurePlacementData structurePlacementData_1 = (new StructurePlacementData()).setRotation(this.rotation).setMirrored(Mirror.NONE).setPosition(pos).addProcessor(BlockIgnoreStructureProcessor.IGNORE_STRUCTURE_BLOCKS);

-    }
-    @Override
-    public boolean generate(IWorld iWorld_1, Random random_1, MutableIntBoundingBox mutableIntBoundingBox_1, ChunkPos chunkPos_1) {
-    }
-}
-</code>
-handleMetadata is where you look at data blocks within your structure and do tasks based on what you find. In vanilla structures, data blocks are placed above chests so they can be filled with loot in this method.
-We set the StructurePieceType to MyModClass.myStructurePiece type; this is the variable that holds your registered structure piece. We'll handle that after we finish the generate function, which sets the position of your structure and generates it:
+  protected void toNbt(CompoundTag tag) {
+    super.toNbt(tag);
+    tag.putString("Template", this.template.toString());
+    tag.putString("Rot", this.rotation.name());
+  }
-<code java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+  @Override
-@Override
+  protected void handleMetadata(String metadata, BlockPos pos, ServerWorldAccess serverWorldAccess, Random random,
-public boolean generate(IWorld iWorld_1, Random random_1, MutableIntBoundingBox mutableIntBoundingBox_1, ChunkPos chunkPos_1) {
+      BlockBox boundingBox) {
-    int yHeight = iWorld_1.getTop(Heightmap.Type.WORLD_SURFACE_WG, this.pos.getX() + 8, this.pos.getZ() + 8);
+  }
-    this.pos = this.pos.add(0, yHeight - 1, 0);
-    return super.generate(iWorld_1, random_1, mutableIntBoundingBox_1, chunkPos_1);
 }
 </code>
-In this case, we simply get the y position of the highest block in the middle of our chunk and generate the structure off that position.
+''handleMetadata'' is where you look at data blocks within your structure and do tasks based on what you find.
+In vanilla structures, data blocks are placed above chests so they can be filled with loot in this method.
-==== Registering Features ====
+We set the ''StructurePieceType'' to ''ExampleMod.MY_PIECE''; this is the variable that holds your registered structure piece.
-The last step is to register our features. We're going to need to register:
+===== Registering Structures =====
+The last step is to register our structures. We're going to need to register:
-  * StructurePieceType
+  * structure
-  * StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig>
+  * piece
-  * StructureFeature<?>
+  * configured structure
-We're also going to need to add the structure to the STRUCTURES list and add it to each biome as a feature and generation step.
+<code java>
+public class ExampleMod implements ModInitializer {
+  public static final StructurePieceType MY_PIECE = MyGenerator.MyPiece::new;
+  private static final StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig> MY_STRUCTURE = new MyFeature(DefaultFeatureConfig.CODEC);
+  public static final ConfiguredStructureFeature<?, ?> MY_CONFIGURED = MY_STRUCTURE.configure(DefaultFeatureConfig.DEFAULT);
-Registering piece type:
+  @Override
-<code java>
+  public void onInitialize() {
-public static final StructurePieceType myStructurePieceType = Registry.register(Registry.STRUCTURE_PIECE, "my_piece", MyGenerator.Piece::new);
+    Registry.register(Registry.STRUCTURE_PIECE, new Identifier("tutorial", "my_piece"), MY_PIECE);
+    FabricStructureBuilder.create(new Identifier("tutorial", "my_structure"), MY_STRUCTURE)
+      .step(GenerationStep.Feature.SURFACE_STRUCTURES)
+      .defaultConfig(32, 8, 12345)
+      .adjustsSurface()
+      .register();
+    BuiltinRegistries.add(BuiltinRegistries.CONFIGURED_STRUCTURE_FEATURE, new Identifier("tutorial", "my_structure"),
+        MY_CONFIGURED);
+  }
+}
 </code>
-Registering feature:
+===== Adding a configured feature to a biome =====
+Vanilla features generated in the plain biomes are listed in ''DefaultBiomeFeatures.addPlainsFeatures''.
+We modify this method to add our structure to the plain biomes.
 <code java>
-public static final StructureFeature<DefaultFeatureConfig> myFeature = Registry.register(Registry.FEATURE, "my_feature", new MyFeature());
+@Mixin(DefaultBiomeFeatures.class)
+public class DefaultBiomeFeaturesMixin {
+  @Inject(method = "addPlainsFeatures(Lnet/minecraft/world/biome/GenerationSettings$Builder;)V", at = @At("TAIL"))
+  private static void addPlainsFeatures(GenerationSettings.Builder builder, CallbackInfo ci) {
+    builder.structureFeature(ExampleMod.MY_CONFIGURED);
+  }
+}
 </code>
-Registering structure:
-<code java>
-public static final StructureFeature<?> myStructure = Registry.register(Registry.STRUCTURE_FEATURE, "my_structure", myFeature);
-</code>
-To put your feature in the features list, you can use:
-<code java>
-Feature.STRUCTURES.put("My Awesome Feature", myFeature);
-</code>
-For testing, it's a good idea to register your feature to every biome and set the spawn rate to 100% so you can be sure it's spawning and working. You probably don't want your structure floating in the water, so we'll also filter that out. Add it to every biome by iterating over the biome list and adding it as a feature and generation step:
-<code java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+===== Result =====
-for(Biome biome : Registry.BIOME) {
+You should be met with igloos in the plain biomes.
-    if(biome.getCategory() != Biome.Category.OCEAN && biome.getCategory() != Biome.Category.RIVER) {
+You can use below command to find your structure in the world.
-        biome.addStructureFeature(myFeature.configure(FeatureConfig.DEFAULT));
-        biome.addFeature(GenerationStep.Feature.SURFACE_STRUCTURES, myFeature.configure(FeatureConfig.DEFAULT).createDecoratedFeature(Decorator.CHANCE_PASSTHROUGH.configure(new ChanceDecoratorConfig(0))));
+<code>
-    }
+/locate tutorial:my_structure
-}
 </code>
-ChanceDecoratorConfig's argument is basically how many chunks it will skip over before generating. 0 is every chunk, 1 is every other, and 100 is every 100.
+{{tutorial:structures.png?800}}
-You need to add your structure as a feature so your biome knows it exists, and then as a generation step so it's actually generated.
-Load into your world, and if all went well, you should be met with a //lot// of Igloos.
