Identifying Structures by Biome
Biome-Specific Variants
Small Structures adapt their appearance to match their surroundings. Learning which structures spawn in which biomes helps you know what to search for.
Forest & Plains: Structures use regular wood and stone. Look for wooden camps, log piles, and farms with standard crops and wooden scarecrows.
Desert & Badlands: Structures switch to sand and desert-appropriate blocks. Ruins blend seamlessly into sandy terrain, and structures use terracotta or sandstone variants.
Snow & Cold Biomes: All structures gain snow coverage and use cold-weather blocks like packed ice or snow layers. Camps and farms appear with their snowy aesthetic intact.
Finding Specific Types
Water wells and towers prefer spawning near water sources across any biome. Trader carts appear in open areas. Ruins have the widest biome distribution. If you're hunting a particular structure type, consider the biome's climate and terrain—the mod's design ensures structures always look natural to their location.
