Small Structures Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do small structures spawn in my existing world or only new ones?
Small structures generate in newly explored chunks, so they won't appear in areas you've already visited. If you want structures in your current base area, you'll need to explore further out or start a new world.
Can I turn off specific structure types?
Check your mod's config file to enable or disable individual structure types like camps, farms, wells, or ruins. The config also lets you adjust spawn frequency if structures feel too common or too rare.
Why don't I see structures in certain biomes?
Some structures are designed for specific biome types—for example, desert variants appear in sand biomes while snow variants spawn in cold areas. If a biome feels empty, try exploring a different biome type to see more variety.
Do small structures have chests with loot?
Yes, many structures like camps, farms, and ruins contain chests with useful early-game items. Loot varies by structure type and biome, so exploring different ones gives you different rewards.
Will small structures interfere with my building projects?
No, the structures are intentionally tiny and sparse so they won't block your builds or take up valuable space. You can build right next to them without issues.
Do the structures match vanilla Minecraft's style?
Yes, they use only standard Minecraft blocks and follow vanilla building aesthetics, so they blend seamlessly into any world without looking out of place.
Can I use small structures as landmarks for navigation?
Absolutely—distinctive structures like tall water towers or ruins are great visual markers to help you navigate and find your way back to base, especially in flat or repetitive terrain.
Do structures spawn underground or only on the surface?
Small structures generate on the surface and in appropriate terrain for each type. They don't spawn deep underground, so you'll only find them while exploring above ground.
Is this mod compatible with other world generation mods?
Small Structures is designed to work alongside most mods, but compatibility depends on how other mods modify terrain generation. If you experience issues, check if disabling the mod resolves them, then adjust your mod load order.
Do small structures respawn or regenerate after I loot them?
No, once you loot a structure's chest, it stays looted. Structures are one-time discoveries, so each one you find is unique to your playthrough.
