====== Worldgen Structures ======

LanteaCraft's planned village Stargate uses a vanilla Minecraft structure template for the platform and decorative shell:

''src/main/resources/data/lanteacraft/structure/village_stargate_platform.nbt''

The Java generator still places the live Stargate frame and matching DHD after the template is placed. This keeps variant selection, address registration, and planned-gate dialing deterministic while letting the visible platform be edited like a normal Minecraft structure.

===== Template Contract =====

The default template is authored with the front of the gate/platform facing south.

  * Template size: ''11 x 2 x 9''
  * Gate base pivot: ''(5, 1, 2)''
  * DHD support area: around ''(5, 0, 6)''
  * The generator rotates the template to match the planned gate facing.

When replacing the template, leave enough clear space for the code-placed Stargate:

  * Frame spans ''x = -3..3'', ''y = 0..6'' relative to the gate base.
  * DHD is placed 4 blocks in front of the gate.
  * The generator clears the Stargate/DHD footprint after placing the template, so do not put important decorative blocks inside that live-block area.

===== Editing Workflow =====

  - Build the platform in-game around a structure block.
  - Keep the gate base position at template coordinate ''(5, 1, 2)''.
  - Save the structure as ''lanteacraft:village_stargate_platform''.
  - Copy the generated ''.nbt'' into ''src/main/resources/data/lanteacraft/structure/village_stargate_platform.nbt''.
  - Rebuild the mod.

The generator code that loads this template lives in:

''src/main/java/com/pclogix/lanteacraft/worldgen/StargateVillageGenerator.java''
