Formations: Overworld Huts and Camps

Formations: Overworld Huts and Camps are ten small surface structures added by the Formations mod: the Bamboo Hut, Campsite, Desert Houses, Hobbit Hole, Igloo, Log Shelter, Mushroom Hut, Small House, Tiny House and Wagon. Each is a single building or camp placed on the ground in a matching biome. They contain chests of vanilla loot, and one template contains a trap. Formations Overworld adds no blocks, items, mobs or recipes of its own; the structures are built from vanilla blocks and need the Formations library to generate. The larger temples, towers and natural formations from the same mod are covered on their own pages, Formations: Overworld Temples and Ruins and Formations: Overworld Natural Formations.

Generation

All ten structures use the minecraft:random_spread placement on the surface structures step. They generate only on the surface and never underground. Each has a spacing of 28 chunks and a separation of 15 chunks in the live game. The mod's own default spacing of about 15 chunks was scaled up by the pack's sparse structures factor of 1.92. Each structure has a 1/32 share of the mod's uncommon structure set. At a candidate site, the structure is chosen from those whose biome tags match that biome, so the biome decides which of the set's structures can appear there.

The mod's own rules place the structures in the biomes shown in the table below, which is generated from the pack's data. Several of these rules use vanilla biome tags such as #is_forest or #is_taiga. Any biome that carries the same tag, including biomes from other mods, can therefore receive these structures. The Bamboo Hut's rule names bamboo jungle directly, but its table entry still lists 10 biomes, which suggests that other biomes in the pack carry the same tag.

Structures are rare in practice. In a sample of 26 km² of the pack's overworld, the observed counts were 5 Log Shelters, 3 Small Houses, 3 Wagons, 2 Campsites, 2 Hobbit Holes and 1 Tiny House. The Bamboo Hut, Desert Houses, Igloo and Mushroom Hut did not appear in that sample. The infobox shows the same counts.

Layout

The Mushroom Hut has the most variants of this group, with nine templates. The Desert Houses have three templates and the Small House has four. The other huts have one or two. The notable features below are the ones the pack's data confirms.

Bamboo Hut

A single template. The mod places it only in bamboo jungle biomes, and the table lists the full set of biomes the pack allows.

Campsite

A single template with a typical size of 34 by 27 by 34 blocks.

Desert Houses

Three templates. One of them contains a lava trap.

Hobbit Hole

Two templates with a typical size of 36 by 34 by 40 blocks. The hole has two loot tables, one for common gear and one for food.

Igloo

A single template. It is placed in snowy plains and snowy taiga biomes, and it has no spawners or traps.

Log Shelter

A single template with a typical size of 33 by 28 by 32 blocks. It is the most frequent of the group in the pack's sample.

Mushroom Hut

Nine templates. The mod places it only in Mushroom Fields, and it has no chest loot.

Small House

Four templates, with three separate loot tables named intact, degraded and fireplace. The typical size is 36 by 33 by 35 blocks.

Tiny House

Two templates with a typical size of 34 by 30 by 31 blocks.

Wagon

A single template with a typical size of 31 by 31 by 33 blocks. Its rule includes sunflower plains along with plains, savanna, taiga, desert and snowy plains.

Inhabitants

None of the ten structures places a mob or a spawner. The pack's data shows no mob entries for any of them. Creatures found near these structures come from the biome's normal spawn list.

Loot

Every structure except the Mushroom Hut has a chest loot table. The most valuable items are in the Small House, which includes chainmail armour, and in the Hobbit Hole food table, which includes golden apples and cake. The Desert Houses include a Strad music disc. The Campsite includes saddles, name tags, compasses, spyglasses, maps and goat horns. The Log Shelter includes leather armour and a shield, and the Desert Houses include leather armour. The Igloo and Bamboo Hut include fishing rods. The generated tables below list the full contents of each chest.

Tips

• One Desert House template contains a lava trap, so check the room before you open its chests.
• The Hobbit Hole food table holds golden apples, cake and cooked meat, which makes it a useful food source.
• The Small House is the only structure in this group with chainmail armour in its loot.
• To find a specific hut, check its biome list in the table above, then search those biomes.
