This page lists '''structures''' (also known as '''generated structures''' or '''structure features''') in ''Minecraft''. A structure is defined as what is disabled when the "Generate structures" world creation option is turned off. Features, such as [[Monster Room|monster room]] and [[desert well]]s, do still generate with this option turned off; however, they are listed on this page in {{slink||Structure-like features}} due to them having the appearance of an artificial structure as opposed to a natural formation.

== Overworld ==
{{main|Overworld}}
The Overworld contains numerous structures, at a wide variety of scales.

=== Underground structures ===
These structures can only generate underground in vanilla [[world type|default Overworlds]].

! Description
|-
| {{EnvLink|Ancient City}}
|
* {{BiomeLink|Deep Dark}}

[[Cave spider]] [[spawner]]<nowiki/>s may generate here heavily surrounded by [[cobweb]]s. In [[Badlands]] biomes, they use [[dark oak planks]] instead of [[oak planks]], and may generate close to the surface.
|-
| {{EnvLink|Stronghold}}
| Any Overworld biomes
| Maze-like [[stone bricks]] structures containing many rooms, including one with a usually unactivated [[end portal frame]]. {{IN|java}}, they have a specific, fixed way of generating, and a maximum of 128 can generate in a single world.

* {{BiomeLink|Beach}}
* {{BiomeLink|Snowy Beach}}
* {{BiomeLink|Stony Shore}}{{only|be|short=1}}
* {{BiomeLink|Mushroom Field Shore}}{{only|be|short=1}}(Unused)

* {{BiomeLink|Jungle}}
* {{BiomeLink|Old Growth Birch Forest}}
* {{BiomeLink|Old Growth Pine Taiga}}
* {{BiomeLink|Old Growth Spruce Taiga}}

| Any Overworld biomes
| A large structure with trial spawners, vaults and rooms that look like they are player-made with beds and chests.

! Description
|-
| {{EnvLink|Desert Pyramid}}
|
* {{BiomeLink|Desert}}
* {{BiomeLink|Desert Hills}}{{only|be|short=1}}(Unused)

|{{EnvLink|Igloo}}
|
* {{BiomeLink|Snowy Plains}}
* {{BiomeLink|Snowy Taiga}}
* {{BiomeLink|Snowy Slopes}}
| [[Snow]] buildings that may have a basement hidden under a [[carpet]]. The igloo itself contains nothing much of value, but the basement has a [[villager]] and a [[zombie villager]] held captive behind [[iron bars]] with a sign saying to cure the [[zombie villager]]. The [[splash potion]] of [[weakness]] on the brewing stand, together with the [[golden apple]] in the loot [[chest]], can be used to cure the [[zombie villager]], and turn it back into a regular villager.

|-
| {{EnvLink|Swamp Hut}}
|
* {{BiomeLink|Swamp}}
| Also known as witch huts, these are small wooden buildings on log stilts containing a [[cauldron]] and [[crafting table]]. It spawns [[witch]]es and, upon generation, one black [[cat]].

|}

== Structure-like features ==
{{main|Feature}}
These worldgen features have similarities to structures but they are not true structures. Instead, they are coded and generated the same way as trees or ores. This is why they generate even when the "Generate structures" world option is disabled, and also cannot be located with the {{cmd|locate}} command.

{| class=wikitable
! Features
! [[Biome|Biome(s)]]
! Description
|-
| {{EnvLink|Dungeon}}

==Removed structures==
These are structures that have been removed or exist only in older versions of ''Minecraft''.
{| class=wikitable
! Structure
! [[Biome|Biome(s)]]
! Description
|-
| {{EnvLink|Brick Pyramid}}
| Anywhere, since biomes didn't exist back then.
| A giant pyramid that had no interior and was made solely out of bricks. The official name for this structure is unknown. Was removed in [[Java Edition Infdev 20100327]].
|-
| {{BlockLink|link=Glass pillar|Glass|Glass Pillar}}
| Any [[Overworld]] biome.
| It's a tall, one-by-one glass pillar which stretched from the end portal room in the stronghold all the way to the build limit. According to Jeb, it was a debug feature that he forgot to remove. It was removed in the version [[Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4]].
|-
| {{EnvLink|link=Starting house|Starting-house|Starting House}}
| Anywhere on the [[Java Edition Indev]] world.
| It used to serve as the spawn location for the player during the Indev phase. The first edition of this house was made of mossy cobblestone, but later it was changed to wooden planks. It also included two chests with various items, which was later removed.
|-
| {{EnvLink|Monolith}}
| Anywhere during [[Java Edition Infdev|Infdev]].
| These were chunk-sized patches of terrain that would generate up to the height limit. They were never intended to be in the game as they were just a ''glitch''. Monoliths were patched in the version [[Java Edition Alpha v1.2.0 (preview)|Alpha v1.2.0 Preview]].
|-
| {{EnvLink|Nether Reactor}}{{only|be|short=1}}
| Anywhere, as it's built by the player.
| It's a player-built structure that would turn into the ''Nether Spire'', and would give the player access to unobtainable items. The reason for it's addition is because [[The Nether]] didn't exist in [[Pocket Edition]] back then. Was removed after the addition of The Nether.
|-
| {{EnvLink|link=Bedrock Edition removed features#Nether Spires|Nether-spire|Nether Spire}}{{only|be|short=1}}
| Anywhere where the [[Nether Reactor]] was built.
| It was a tall and round structure that spawned over the Nether Reactor. It was made out of obsidian, which was later changed to netherrack. It would spawn various [[Zombified Piglin|Zombie Pigmen]] and items from ''The Nether''. It's purpose was to enable the players on Pocket Edition to obtain certain items, since The Nether wasn't implemented yet.
|-
| {{EnvLink|link=Obsidian wall|Obsidian Wall}}
| Anywhere, since it stretched towards every direction.
| It was a 2 block tall obsidian wall which was only present during some versions of the Infdev phase. It started in the middle of the world, and stretched towards North, South, West and East. This structure doesn't have an official name.
|-
|}

== Technical details ==
{{update}}
Structures are generated for a given chunk after the terrain has been formed. The [[chunk format]] includes a tag called {{cd|TerrainPopulated}} that indicates whether structures whose ''point of origin'' is in that chunk have been generated. If it is false or missing, it generates again. Structure generation is based on what is already in the chunk, so (for example) flagging a chunk that has already been populated for repopulation approximately doubles the amount of ore in it. When structures are generated, they can spill over into neighboring chunks that have been previously generated.
