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.

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.

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