I am having a hard time getting my custom structure to load ingame. Here is my process:
- Create schematic of structure using Litematica
- Export schematic as a NBT file using Litematica
- Create structure element using the NBT
- Set it to spawn in my custom biome
The biome spawns just fine, but the structure does not. I have it set to spawn 1m/1m chunks, but only groups of 1 structure. I figured this was ok due to the structure being a few million blocks in size, so my thinking is that only one will spawn, but it is certain to spawn. So far, my minecraft either freezes or doesn't load the structure at all.
1.) Make sure your structure is no larger than 42x42x42 blocks as that is the max structure size that Minecraft supports. (Note: Vanilla structures such as the Stronghold are not 1 single structure but several smaller structures that spawn connected to one another.)
2.) If your structure is 42x42x42 blocks or smaller, you might need to remake it in Minecraft itself rather than using third-party schematic builders. I recommend building them in the dev test. MCreator has the option to import a schematic straight from the workplace test play. That way the schematic is made in whatever Minecraft version you are using, and it is imported properly.
I was able to create the NBT which is much larger than the 42x42x42 limit. Are you saying that because it is above the limit it is not able to generate?
mcreator can create structures larger than 42x42x42 and what he said was a lie. but the bigger the better your machine will have to be.
If your structure is larger than a 42x42x42 size, it will NOT generate.
