<\/p>\n### **Formations** is a library mod which adds additional features to datapacks for generating structures!
\n<\/center><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Structure Types
\nFormations adds two new structure types: `formations:simple` and `formations:pieced`. These essentially correspond to the vanilla regular and jigsaw structure types, but with better placement and a clearer json format.
\nBoth types can choose from the following placements:
\n| Identifier | Description |
\n| :– | :– |
\n| `surface` | Will place the structure at the top layer of solid blocks |
\n| `ceiling` | Will place the at the bottom layer of solid blocks |
\n| `on_water` | Will place the structure at the top layer of blocks if those blocks are water |
\n| `on_lava` | Will place the structure at the top layer of blocks if those blocks are lava |
\n| `underground` | Will place the structure somewhere between the top and bottom layers of blocks |
\n| `underground_surface` | Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, at the bottom of an open area |
\n| `underground_ceiling` | Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, at the top of an open area |
\n| `underground_buried` | Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, such that it is not exposed to any open area |
\n| `underground_on_lava` | Will place the structure between the top and bottom layers of blocks, in an open area on top of lava |<\/p>\n
### Structure Pool Element Types
\nFormations adds one new structure pool element type, `formations:single_pool_element`. The element type allows setting a different ground level rather than vanilla’s fixed ground level of 0. The ground level can be set through the `ground_level` key.<\/p>\n
### Structure Processors
\nFormations adds a bunch of new structure processors.
\n| Identifier | Parameters | Description |
\n| :– | :– | :– |
\n| `formations:random_bed_color` | – | Randomizes the color of any beds |
\n| `formations:biome_replacements` | – | Replaces certain blocks, such as wood, bricks and grass, based on the biome |
\n| `formations:fill_brewing_stands` | `slotFillChance`, `maxBlazePowder` | Fills brewing stands with random potions and blaze powder ` |
\n| `formations:fill_chiseled_bookshelves` | `slotFillChance` | Fills chiseled bookshelves with enchanted books |
\n| `formations:block_age` | `mossiness`, `degradation`, `disintegration` | Randomly replaces regular blocks with mossy or cracked variants, full blocks with slabs or stairs, random blocks with air |
\n| `formations:random_plant_growth` | `minGrowth`, `maxGrowth` | Randomizes the growth stage of any crops |
\n| `formations:respawn_anchor_charges` | `minCharges`, `maxCharges` | Randomizes the number of charges of any respawn anchors |
\n| `formations:waterlogging` | `handling` | Determines whether waterloggable blocks are waterlogged, options can be found on GitHub |<\/p>\n
