HexLands Add-On: Hexed Structures

New Strucuture Type and Placement Type allows you to force your custom structures to only spawn in the center of a hex in a HexLands world.

HexLands Add-On: Hexed Structures

Add-on for your HexLands world
to enable you to place custom structures only in the center of hexes.

Usage

In the datapack for your structure modify the structure/mystruct.json:

{
    "type": "hexed_structures:jigsaw", <----- this line
    "biomes": "#my:tags",
    "max_distance_from_center": 80,
    "project_start_to_heightmap": "WORLD_SURFACE_WG",
    "size": 7,
    "spawn_overrides": {},
    "start_height": {
        "absolute": 0
    },
    "valid_height_range":{             <----- optional height limit (new in 1.2.0)
        "min": 50,
        "max": 180
    },
    "start_pool": "my:pool",
    "step": "surface_structures",
    "terrain_adaptation": "beard_thin",
    "use_expansion_hack": false
}

and the structure_set/myset.json:

{
    "structures": [
        {
            "structure": "my:structure",
            "weight": 1
        }
    ],
    "placement": {
        "type": "hexed_structures:center", <----- this line
        "spacing": 10,
        "separation": 6,
        "salt": 14347342873
    }
}

All other parameters work like vanilla. The base for the placement selection is the normal RandomSpread.

Note

Structures are shifted so the bounding box center is over the hexagon center.

    Random Bag Structure Select

    A simple mod to change the selection algorithm for minecraft structure variants. Instead of truly random selections, where sometimes a certain variant JUST WILL NOT SPAWN, all the variants are shuffled like a deck of cards and then drawn 1 by 1.
