Generating Structure at Dimension Spawn

Topic category: Troubleshooting, bugs, and solutions

Hello! I am trashoflevillage, but you know that (since it is my username.) I am creating a mod based around a unique dimension that has no portal, and when you enter it you spawn inside of a structure, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot get a structure to spawn at the dimension spawn, so I tried spawning the structure at 0 50 0 and teleporting the player there.. the structure generates but the player does not teleport. Let me know any solutions!

First of all, you'll need to get the player coordinates. You can use Entity number NBT tags for that. To get perfect entity coordinates, use this strategy: https://mcreator.net/forum/53539/solving-coordinates-changed-offset-1

Now spawn the structure at those coordinates upon the player entering the dimension. If this doesn't work and the structure spawns in the overworld at the coordinates you are now in inside of your dimension, then you can use a Logic NBT tag to disable the structure from spawning the moment you enter it, and ensure you first check whether the player is in the right dimension ID, before setting it to true. Setting it to true should then spawn your structure at the location of the player that you have stored inside of NBT tags.

I've tried using the strategy you gave me, but it unfortunately causes compiling errors. Is there any way to fix this?

I forgot to put the compiling logs in my other reply, and I cannot find an edit button so I'll put them here:

variable x is already defined

Avoid using variable names the same as dependencies as this will not work. You have dependencies called x, y, z, world, entity, so there names should not be used with local variables.

If this doesn't work and the structure spawns in the overworld at the coordinates you are now in inside of your dimension, then you can use a Logic NBT tag to disable the structure from spawning the moment you enter it, and ensure you first check whether the player is in the right dimension ID, before setting it to true. Setting it to true should then spawn your structure at the location of the player that you have stored inside of NBT tags.

This is what is happening, but I'm not sure on what you mean by Logic NBT tags. Did you mean Logic Variables? I've heard of NBT, just not Logic NBT. I also cannot find anything that detects what dimension the player is in. I know my Dimension ID.

Nevermind! I figured it out.
