Spawn Structures

Attention: Important Update

CAUTION: Updating existing worlds to version 1.0.7 may cause issues with Starter Structure generation! This is due to a complete overhaul of the generation system between beta versions and will more severely affect worlds created in version 1.0.6 than in earlier versions.

Beta version 1.0.7 is SERVER-ONLY

Do you or your server want a building at the world spawn point to protect new players or help those who died without setting their respawn point? Spawn Structures simplifies this process by generating a custom structure at your world spawn, equipped with a lectern, 2 chests with Lootr-compatible loot tables—one with starter gear, another with guides and catalogs—and a bed for those who respawn at night... Spawn Structures brings convenience right to your doorstep!

^ original Starter Structure, lighting by Complimentary: Reimagined

Current Features:

• 1x Starter Structure
• Starter Gear chest (Lootr compatible)
• Guides & Catalogs chest (Lootr compatible)
• Lectern with Book & Quill—designed as a "Welcome Guide". You can edit it as you see fit.
• World spawn location configured to be INSIDE the Starter Structure
• Highly configurable world spawn location via the configuration file

Configuration Options:

• Set World Spawn—determines whether the default world spawn should be at specific coordinates
• Specify World Spawn Location—specifies where the center of the Starter Structure should be [X,Z] (only takes effect if "Set World Spawn" is set to true)
• Set Spawn Biome—specifies which biome the Starter Structure will spawn in. This option takes priority over "Set World Spawn" but will begin searching for the appropriate biome from the specified coordinates if "Set World Spawn" is set to true
• Ignore GameRule: Generate Structures—allows the Starter Structure to generate even if the world option "Generate Structures" is set to false
• Ignore GameRule: Spawn Radius—determines whether the spawn radius should be calculated from the original Minecraft spawn radius or the radius set in the configuration file
• Spawn Radius—sets the spawn radius for the world [Range: 0-4] (only takes effect if "Ignore GameRule: Spawn Radius" is set to true)
• Spawn Orientation—sets the direction each player will face when spawning at the world spawn. "Structure_Locked" will face toward the main door of the Starter Structure, specified internally.
• Starter Structure—specifies which Starter Structure(s) should spawn when generating a new world.

Current Development Plan:

• Beta 1.0.8
  • Adding new Starter Structures
  • Fixing the issue mentioned in Beta 1.0.7
  • Adding a configuration option to exclude specific Starter Structures from the "Biome Dependent" and "Randomized" options for "Starter Structure"
  • Fixing the reason why this mod is Server-Only when used on a server (clients with the mod installed cannot join the server correctly)
• Release 1.1.0
  • Secret additions
  • Release for Forge 1.1.0
  • Release for Fabric 1.0.0

Planned Features:

• Better structure generation integration with the world
• More structures to choose from as the Starter Structure
• Biome-dependent Starter Structures
• Further integration with guidebooks and catalogs from other mods
• Configuration to accompany future planned features
• Possibly a map room under the spawn structure so new players can see where other players' bases are located
• Ability to add your own structure files for generation

Of course, I am open to other ideas and suggestions, so feel free to share them in the comments!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can you backport to 1.XX.X?

A: Possibly... currently, backports are not planned, but if demand is high and I have some free time, I will be happy to look into it.

Q: When is the Fabric version?

A: Soon! It's in development; I just need to iron out some issues first before releasing its beta version. Ideally, I would like the Forge version to reach its first release before rewriting the Fabric version.

Q: Can this mod spawn my own structure?

A: Not yet. However, this is a planned feature and will be implemented after the initial release.

Q: The guidebook I want is missing from the Guides & Catalogs chest!

A: Let me know! If you want a guidebook added to the Guides & Catalogs chest, please tell me in the comments or in the Issues section so I can add it in the next release.

Please keep in mind that this mod is currently in BETA version, as there may be unforeseen bugs, and I am not yet 100% satisfied with the integration of structure generation with the rest of the world. However, I am working on it and hope to release a full version soon.

I hope you all enjoy this mod as much as I do! :D
