+To view examples of vanilla structures in action, ''IglooFeature'' and ''IglooGenerator'' are a good place to start. However, the growing standard for making new structures is using Jigsaw Structures which can be easier to work with and lets you deal with less structure code.

+In vanilla structures, data blocks are placed above chests so they can be filled with loot in this method.
+HOWEVER, you do not need to use datablocks to place chests with loot. Instead, use this command to set a north facing chest with a loottable.
+Save this chest into your structure's nbt file and it will generate loot when opened for the first time. (Don't open the chest before saving to the nbt file!)
+<code>/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:chest[facing=north]{LootTable:"modid:loottable"}</code>
 We set the ''StructurePieceType'' to ''ExampleMod.MY_PIECE''; this is the variable that holds your registered structure piece.
