How to Fix Structures Not Spawning (Experimental Settings)

If you have applied the Structures Plus Addon to your world and explored forests, mountains, and grasslands without finding a single house, watchtower, mine, or ruin, the addon is likely being blocked by your world's configuration. If the addon does not work, you need to enable the Experimental Settings.

Enabling Experimental Settings on a New World

For the most reliable structure generation, turn on the required settings before creating the world:

1. Open the Create New World menu.

2. Activate the Structures Plus Addon in your behavior and resource pack tabs.

3. Navigate to the Experiments (or Experimental) section in the world settings.

4. Toggle the experimental features on. Ensure that the toggles related to custom addons, holiday creator features, or custom biomes/structures are active.

5. Create the world and explore a grassland or forest to confirm compact structures are appearing.

Fixing an Existing World

If you already created a world and forgot to turn on the settings, you can still update it:

1. Save and quit to the main title screen.

2. Click the Edit (pencil) button next to your world.

3. Scroll down to the Experiments section and enable the experimental toggles. (Note: Minecraft may automatically create a copy of your world when you do this).

4. Load into the world and travel to completely new, unexplored areas. Structures will only generate in chunks that are loaded for the first time after the experimental settings have been turned on.
