Troubleshoot Structures Not Spawning in Your World

Verify Datapack Installation

Structures won't appear if the compatibility datapack isn't loaded. Check your world folder's datapacks directory — the Big Globe When Dungeons Arise pack should be present. If you're loading an existing world, you may need to reload chunks or create a new world for structures to generate.

Check Mod Dependencies

1. Confirm both Big Globe and When Dungeons Arise are installed and enabled.

2. If using Seven Seas content, ensure that mod is also active.

3. Restart your game after installing or enabling mods — Minecraft doesn't always reload datapack changes mid-session.

Force Chunk Regeneration

If structures should exist but don't appear:

  • Use /forceload add <X1> <Z1> <X2> <Z2> to mark an area for generation.
  • Travel to unexplored chunks — structures only generate in newly created terrain.
  • Use tools like WorldEdit (if installed) to regenerate specific regions.

Test with Locate Command

Run /locate structure <id> to confirm structures exist in your world at all. If the command finds nothing, the datapack may not be active. Reload the world or check your datapacks folder again.
