How Jigsaw Blocks Work | Custom Structures Ep2 (Minecraft 1.20) 

I wasn't actually looking for a tutorial to use Jigsaw blocks myself, but rather felt like understanding how they work for separate reasons, and I was surprised to see that these blocks are way easier to understand than I ever thought they would be.

I'm in the process of getting my first datapack like this built. I started trying to build an underground dungeon. I just have some wool rooms and halls for testing. I was really struggling to get through all the folder and json set up. Your clear instructions really helped me! These videos are so wonderful! I'm so very glad you made them! Thank you so much!

Love all the Wild West stuff so that was a bonus over learning wth Jigsaw blocks were. Thanks for sharing this info. I will definitely be using it. New Sub.

Jigsaw day is my favorite day!

I gotta say, thank you man! I've just come across using the structure and jigsaw blocks and I had barely even coded before but it worked perfectly! I used some practice modules and they turned out perfect! I can't wait to continue making more structures!

Thanks! This really helped me understand the jigsaw blocks and make quite cool structures with it, and I have been looking for a tutorial on this blocks for 2 years and finally found one that explained everything really, really well.

You are the best, i have spent 5+ hours trying to make just a very simple structure and every single tutorial has been useless until you, thank you

Dude, I love how knowledgeable you are with all of this and that you share it with us! Thanks for taking the time to make this video and making your explanations so easy to understand! You're helping me make my ideas come to life with this 🙏🏼

Super helpful! I'll prolly follow this tutorial to create my first custom village!

thanks, i finally created my own village, you create good vids keep it up!!!!

These two videos have been incredibly helpful. Thank you. I’m unreasonably excited to start trying this stuff out. I’m getting that “haven’t played Minecraft in a year or two and it’s time again” bug. But every time I go back I always get drawn to the less aesthetic and more “technical” (I’m no redstone engineer, technical is used lightly) or meta side of things, I have grand schemes of building a wizard tower over a town of villagers living in the forest temple from Ocarina of Time. But in reality; I’m always the one living in an ever-expanding cave full of barrels while getting super invested in designing the XP grinders, automated greenhouses, and creeper farms. The more technical nature of this is way more engaging to me than just making a home. Especially with how it interacts with the world generation. (o°-°)b best video(s) on the subject man, gonna rope my brother and gf into making some cool stuff to surprise our friends on the next server.

I actually had an idea that I watched these for. I want to experiment a bit, research a few more videos, but I think with a little TLC I can make something nice. Thank you for making these videos so creative Minecraft can be more accessible.

This is such a great tutorial! Thank you so much!

Amazing vids, keep it up!

By the time I was done with watching this I had a cool example to work with for my own project!

Heya, I really liked the video's, your explanations are clear and consise, and you explain it better then other yt'ers in my opinion. I have a request! Would you also be able to make a video on how to add lootchests with loottables to these structures? I cant seem to figure it out. Much thanks already!

Imma break a GWR with this info, thanks! :)

great videos really appreciate it

really well explained

Amazing video!

Is it possible to make it so that my custom structure replaces all the desert temples in the normal game? like if i made a better desert temple and I wanted to get rid of all the old ones, can I do that? and how?

Everything works after the video, except there is a glitch for me. when i generate a village, only the houses spawn, not the profession buildings(even though theyre in the same template pool) and the extra i made for tests doesnt either. On top of all that, the houses get cut off on random chunk borders. I think Ive checked everything, so i dont know what could be wrong.

Great tutorial only i have 1 problem i'm making a dungewon generator but when i try to use a second pool it just doesnt generate the second pool is for rooms with only 1 entrance and the target pool is minecraft:empty and the name and target name is the same how to fix this?

Is there any way to guarantee one jigsaw connection priority over another? I'm trying to generate structures along an invisible path but I can only get one or two to of them to generate while the path consistently hits the limit.

Okay, so I tried following along a few times and got stuck, watched the first video and I'm still doing something wrong. I copied your datapack format (changing the name where it suits) and it's still asking me to load into safemode. I've removed every jigsaw block in safemode and... No luck. I don't want this to generate naturally, at least, not yet. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. There was another tutorial video I watched prior, but that was for 1.16. After following along with this for some time, I redid all of my structure blocks, folders, and the pool_template file.

Missing the part.How do you make the file It seems nobody's tutorial shows that

My village paths are generating over grass and trees, how do I stop this? Also, the buildings only generate on superflat, but not on any kind of real terrain. Do you know why?

Thanks for this! I do have a bit of a problem, though. No matter what i try, houses (well, the singular house i built to test) will not generate. I've made sure there are no typos in the json files and ensured that both the house and the streets/roads have connecting jigsaw blocks. Can you help with this?

I never expected this to be so simple to understand, though i do wonder, is it possible to have the same structure in multiple structure pools? Or would that require separate identical structures? For example if i wanted to have a chance of the rare road just spawning a regular road instead of a rare structure, to just have more stuff in the village instead of an empty direction

my structure spawns but it is way to small, how do i make it larger? It makes the hallways for my dungeon but the rooms are very limited and get cut off

Hey! Im basically done with everything! (thanks for that (: ), but the only problem is that the Villagers/ Iron golems aren't spawnning and I cant figure out why ):

i am have tried this and it works but i want to include multiple structures that arent related to each other and it keeps going into safe mode i dont know what to do

my datapack says that it's for an older version, how do i fix this?

hey! can i use the similar method to overwrite vanilla villages? great tuts btw very clear and concise.

me waiting to mojang create the datapack for jigsaws:

How many times can Conure say rare in one video... missed opportunity for a counter on screen 😂

Great vid! thanks! I would love to know moew about datapacks, but im very new in it. Maybe u guys could recommend me any sort of modding / datapack community where i could chat with others about it and ask my questions for example?

hii im makeing a datapack that generates buildings, i made every floor type and everything worked so far. the thing is, the floors are generateing with random orientations, i want only the bottom floor to do that and then all the ones above following the same orientation

i have a problem. my town center is perfectly in the ground but al my other structures are with the ground on the ground. 1 block to high. this is my program { "name": "tj33:mountain_path/buildings", "fallback": "minecraft:empty", "elements": [{ "weight": 1, "element": { "element_type": "minecraft:empty_pool_element" } },{ "weight": 1, "element": { "location": "tj33:mountain_path/buildings/log_cabin", "processors": "minecraft:empty", "projection": "rigid", "element_type": "minecraft:single_pool_element" } },{ "weight": 3, "element": { "location": "tj33:mountain_path/buildings/tent_wit", "processors": "minecraft:empty", "projection": "rigid", "element_type": "minecraft:single_pool_element" } },{ "weight": 3, "element": { "location": "tj33:mountain_path/buildings/tent_blauw", "processors": "minecraft:empty", "projection": "rigid", "element_type": "minecraft:single_pool_element" } },{ "weight": 3, "element": { "location": "tj33:mountain_path/buildings/tent_groen", "processors": "minecraft:empty", "projection": "rigid", "element_type": "minecraft:single_pool_element" } }] } can u help me

Help!!, i have the error "there is no template pool with type ..." :(

I didn't made a village but a single maze It can't located by /locate !

wheres ep 1

an unknow error occured, i don't know how to fix it

3:50 Why dose yours have a: level, keep jigsaw block and generation

Would this work the same on bedrock??

Instead of restarting the server, you can just do /reload

The ones who shant have the knowledge of /reload…

does this work in bedrock for the nintendo switch?
