Getting Started with Worldshape

Worldshape operates at the modpack level. Upon the first launch, the mod automatically generates a worldshape directory within your Minecraft instance folder (alongside mods, config, and saves). This folder acts as a local data repository for your custom generation rules.

Directory Structure

To add structures, you must follow a specific namespaced folder hierarchy:

Folder Path	Description
`worldshape/data/<namespace>/structures/`	Contains the `.nbt` schematic files for your structures.
`worldshape/data/<namespace>/structure_spawners/`	Contains the `.json` configuration files that define how and where structures spawn.
`worldshape/data/<namespace>/worldgen/template_pool/`	Contains `.json` files for Jigsaw block pools (optional).

Note: Changes made to files in the structure_spawners folder require a game restart to take effect.
