Setting Up a MinGen-Friendly World

World Generation Compatibility

MinGen Data Pack integrates seamlessly with vanilla Minecraft world generation. Structures spawn naturally in new worlds without requiring special setup. If you're adding MinGen to an existing world, new chunks will generate with structures, but previously explored areas won't have them unless you venture into ungenerated territory.

Biome Considerations

Structures are biome-specific, so you'll find different structures in different environments. To experience all MinGen has to offer, explore diverse biomes—forests, deserts, plains, mountains, and more. Each biome type contains unique structures suited to its landscape.

Exploration Planning

Consider creating an exploration base or waypoints to systematically visit different biomes and document structures you find. This helps you locate specific structures later and plan which ones to incorporate into your base design or settlement projects. Keep a map or journal of notable structures for future reference.
