Structure Block

Structure blocks are blocks that are used to manually generate structures. They can also be used to save and load structures in 1.10, along side structure void blocks.

Obtaining
Structure blocks and structure voids are only available using the or  commands. Both blocks when placed are unbreakable in survival and have the same blast resistance as bedrock.

Usage
As of 1.9, the structure block is unusable. They were however used by the developers to create the end city dungeon structures and igloo.

Upcoming
In, structure blocks can now be used by players. When placed, structure blocks can be right-clicked to bring up a GUI, which allows you to set the co-ordinates, size and name of the structure. You can also set the block type to:


 * Save - build structure in world, tell the block where it is and it saves it to file
 * Load - loads saved structure files
 * Corner - for automatic size calculation
 * Data - for chest markers and other blocks that require data (default)

The structure block shows outline of the structure it relates to in white, and can rotate/mirror blocks. They can be powered with redstone or by clicking the button in the GUI. Structure blocks emit the maximum light level of 15.

In addition, structure voids can be placed as part of the structure to allow empty spaces in a structure. Unlike air, this will not overwrite blocks at the location when the structure is placed. Structure void blocks have no collision box but have a small hitbox. They are additionally invisible unless a structure block is being used in "save" mode. As well as this structure blocks set to 'Load' can be triggered by redstone replacing the need for the /setblock command or a third-party program to generate complex structures.

If you load a 2 block high structure with air at the top and a structure void at the bottom into a 2 block high area of stone, the top block will become air but the bottom will stay stone.

Data values
The structure block has an ID name of  and an ID number of 255. It also contains an additional data field which determines which variant is used.

Structure void has an ID name of  and an ID number of 217. It has no additional data.

Block entity
A structure block also has a block entity associated with it. Its ID is.
