Whats New?
Discord: We've created a new Discord that you can use to reach out to us with problems, solutions, ideas, musings, thoughts, commentary and anything else you may want to share with us and the community of Prefab users. Just remember to keep your contributions constructive and friendly for all ages. Lets build something cool together! https://discord.gg/qpkPnfays5
We've Heard You: For a bit now, we've been trying to just soldier forth and try to just keep the most recent versions of Minecraft updated with new content. But the community hasn't really gone that way. There is a diehard holdout of 1.12.2 modpacks and players out there still going strong, and have been asking us to give it some love. Well, we're gonna do it! A new push behind the scenes will see us refocusing our efforts on development for 1.12.2 and whatever the current edition of Minecraft happens to be. This will hopefully please the majority of our players, and allow you to enjoy the functionality of our mod in any new version, but also allow you to enjoy them in the the version that's more or less been established as an iconic version for Minecraft modpacks.
Fabric Version: We migrated Prefab to Fabric! We plan on keeping both projects up-to-date with structures and fixes if they make sense for both projects. Thank you all for your interest in a Fabric version and all of your continued support. You can find the page here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/prefab-fabric
Breaking Changes for 1.12.2 Mod Version!!!!!
The 1.3.1.0 update changes block registration names in order to conform to 1.13 and later standards. This was done to ensure that back-porting any blocks or items can be done easier in the future.
This means that if you created ANY of the Compressed Stone, Compressed Dirt, Compressed Glowstone, or Compressed Obsidian blocks they WILL BE LOST when using this new version. It is recommended that you either use this version in new worlds or you break down the compressed blocks into their un-compressed states before applying this update.
~~~~~~~
Prefab is a collection of functional and aesthetic buildings that you can place into your world instantly! With our instant houses and structures, you can skip over the time consuming job of landscaping, and trying to build without a creeper undoing your work. Our preview function lets you see the structure in the world, and move through a projection of it in real time. Just pick the place you want to put it, and the Prefab Blueprints do the rest! Whether you haven't got the time, patience or will, we've got structures that are guaranteed to please some of you, but not all of you. :)
More structures are being developed and added as the mod progresses (and we have ideas/time!), so be on the lookout. Feel free to share requests and constructive criticism in the comments.
Note: Since this has been asked so many times in the past. There are no plans to create a feature for custom blueprints or loading custom structures outside of the ones provided by this mod.
This functionality already exists with Structurize and we highly recommend it.

Blocks and Items Added
For a complete list of blocks and items added by this mod, please view the CurseForge Pages Wiki here:

Structure Preview
All structure GUIs include a "preview" button. This will create a shadow structure in the world for you to see what it will look like when it's placed. This will give you the opportunity to make sure that you have enough space for the structure or to make sure that it will be placed where you want it to be placed.
Block facings for fences, torches and other similar blocks will most likely not have their proper facing when rendered in this fashion, they will look correct when placed.
Note: This functionality was adapted from Botania's Visualize functionality. The mod info and source code has been updated to state as such as well. http://botaniamod.net/license.php.

Contributing Structures
If you want to contribute a cool custom structure for others to enjoy we have some guidelines.
- You must use vanilla blocks or blocks added through this mod. If you think you need a custom block for the design; let us know and we can create that too.
- We reserve the right to change the design as necessary for balance or aesthetics.
- If you want, you will be credited for contributions on the mod page.
- Provide your sample world through the Discord server. Please be sure to include pictures so the community can be excited about it!
- Provide a description of this building. What would it be used for or is this just a aesthetic building?
In The Works
With "Repurpose" no longer under active development; we will be bringing some of it's more useful features to Prefab.
See this GitHub issue for more information: Add stuff from repurpose that is cool · Issue #194 · Brian-Wuest/MC-Prefab (github.com)
When Forge provides an update to 1.17 we will begin the update of this mod to 1.17. When this migration is complete; Minecraft version 1.15.X will no longer be supported. We simply do not have enough time to support more than the current and 1 previous version of Minecraft.
Notes
Feel free to use this mod in any Modpack, we just ask that you please link back to this mod page in your description.
Hi I have a question in regards to this mod. I just made the mob masher but my base is located in a Mushroom Field biome where mobs don't naturally spawn. Would the Mob Masher still work here or should I place it outside that biome?
In reply to kccake18:
It should work without issue since there are monster spawners.
In reply to wuestman:
Thank you so much,
I always love DL this mod makes adding buildings to my town easier as I focus on more complex builds. I tried to make the structure mod recipe but it wouldn't allow me to make it. Are you guys planning to add a Kelp Farm similar to the bamboo farm? Also, the barn template could be converted into a mega storage warehouse or raise the height/extend the basement of the advanced warehouse. Thanks again for all the hard work that's gone into this mod. Thanks for adding in Fabric support.
In reply to stonewolf2077:
When you say structure mod recipe what do you mean?
A kelp farm sounds pretty cool. I ha ent played enough on new versions though to know what it would even look like.
The Barn and advanced warehouse are probably not going to be changed. We do have a thought of doing a large building item but don't know what to put in it yet nor have any structures to scan through.
In reply to wuestman:
It's the structure recipe that allows to put down a floor or wall with a doorway in it with the varying choices of block types to choose from.
In reply to stonewolf2077:
Oh the "structure part" item. We got rid of that since it had poor reception and wasn't implemented well.
can you update all the buildings that are in this mod, I think the house that this mod build is quite ugly I guess, can you make it much better at building houses in blueprints
Just a suggestion
In reply to azmie_0:
Prefab boasts over 70 different builds within the various blueprints provided by the mod. If there is a particular style you are looking to add; we are always looking for contributions to add to the mod.
this is really nice mod but i hope it can fix the balance in survival mode.
like use blueprint and comsume all the needed materials in inventory.
In reply to 可憐的拉姆斯:
You use resources to make the blueprint. If you mean the starting and moderate houses, you can turn those off in the configuration file.
for example enhance table room, the cost of bookshelf is really high for me in survival. um.. how to disable starting house? just delete that line?
In reply to 可憐的拉姆斯:
No, replace it with the English word: nothing
In reply to wuestman:
thanks
The only house where chest's are spawining is the desert house 2 Now none of them are I just got mekanism could that interfere with it?
FIXED was my mistake
In reply to chiknman7:
Will need some more information. What version of the mod are you using and which version of minrcraft are you using?
I am not aware of any issues with compatibility with Mekanism.
In reply to wuestman:
sorry i was the one who made the mistake i was clicking the x thinking that when it was highlighted it meant it would spawn one which is why i didnt i forgot to edit sorry one suggestion though can make the yes/no for the chests and mineshaft more obvious sorry for wasting your time you have a great mod
Hey uh, why was the moderate house 'workshop' (i forget if that was the name of it?) removed from the recent version? I haven't played in awhile so I was kinda sad to see that it wasn't there due to it being my go-to structure.
Will there be any chances of bringing it back? Or at least getting a guide on how to remake it ourselves?
edit:
Didn't realize I was writing this on the forge version.
I don't know if just the fabric version didn't have it or not, bc i usually used forge haha....;;
sorry if there's confusion here.
In reply to lavaimps:
The workshop was deemed too over-powered for a moderate house due to the automation it had. So we branched it off into it's own item. So the workshop is there for Forge and Fabric!
