Minecraft:Structure file

A structure file (also called structure template) is an NBT file that stores small structures of blocks and entities. Structure files are used to store some structures such as end cities, igloos, and Minecraft:fossils.

Usage

Java Edition

Structure files are stored as .nbt files in data packs in the Template:File folder.

They can be saved and loaded using the Minecraft:Structure Block. When saved from Structure Blocks they are saved into the Template:Cd subfolder in the world save folder. When no namespace is given, then the

Template:Redr namespace is used.

Structure files can also be placed using the

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr command. They are also used during the generation of some Minecraft:structures and of Minecraft:fossil features.
