Preview Structures and View Block Details

Displaying Structure Previews

The Knowledge Codex mod includes a structure viewer that shows top-down layouts of buildings, dungeons, and schematics directly in your guide.

1. Reference a structure file (NBT format) in your guide using the structure component

2. The mod renders a visual map showing block placement and palette information

3. Hover over blocks in the preview to reveal exact coordinates and block IDs

4. View entity data and block counts in a sidebar panel

Using Structure Previews Effectively

Structure previews work best for teaching players how to build or find specific layouts. Include them alongside text descriptions so readers understand both the visual layout and the purpose of each section. The mod displays dimensions clearly, helping players gauge scale before attempting construction. Use this feature in building guides, dungeon walkthroughs, or mod-specific structure documentation.
