The megastructure block is similar to a regular structure block but it breaks the size limit of the vanilla one.

This mod is a compulsory dependency for worldgen systems that use megastructures in their generation logic.

Instructions

The structure block is currently textureless and is only obtainable via the \give command

SAVE

Works as a regular structureblock with the size of the area to save and the offset to move said area around.

There is a "DETECT" that doesn't work because the megastructure block does not have a proper corner detection capabilities. (The "delimiter mode" does nothing at the moment)

There is a button to toggle wether special blocks like air and entities are saved on the megastructure.

The block automatically prepends any inputed structure name with the minecraft namespace followed by the "mgst_" prefix and the name you inputed.

  • For example, if the name of your structure is "bigcastle", the header file of the megastructure will be identified as "minecraft:mgst_bigcastle"

You can use your own namespace instead.

  • For example, if you are making the "bigcastle" megastructure for the "bigworld" namespace, you can write the name as "bigworld:bigcastle" and it will be saved as "bigworld:mgst_bigcastle"

ATTENTION!

For now the blocks saves all the width and length of all the chunks that contains part of the stabilished area, meaning that that "buffer area" will also be placed on a LOAD opperation.

LOAD

Also works as a regular structure load with the name of the megastructure to load (including the "mgst_" prefix) and the offset

ATTENTION!

For now, the offset and the block position are ignored and the megastructure starts to load on the corner of the chunk closest in orientation to the origin of coordinates

For developers

This mod can be downloaded as a packaged dependency for a mod and also includes the classes and registries needed to spawn megastructures in the world programatically. If people are interested, a doc will be created in the future

About the versioning

This mod's main aim is to work with the Realms of Runeterra mod, thus will follow the versions that mod has. If anyone downloads the tool, fidns it helpful and wants it on a specific previous version, let me know through the issue tracker and I will do my best to backport it.
