{{about|the format used by structure blocks|the similar format used by many community programs|Schematic file format}} A '''structure file''' (also called '''structure template''') is an [[NBT format|NBT]] file that stores small structures of blocks and entities. Structure files are used to store some structures such as [[end city|end cities]], [[igloo|igloos]] and [[fossil|fossils]]. == Usage == === Java Edition === Structure files are stored as [[NBT format|.nbt]] files in [[data pack]]s in the {{file|directory|inline=1|data/{{ph|namespace}}/structure}} folder. They can be saved and loaded using the [[Structure Block]]. When saved from Structure Blocks they are saved into the {{cd|generated/{{ph|namespace}}/structures}} subfolder in the world save folder. When no namespace is given, then the {{cd|minecraft}} namespace is used. Structure files can also be placed using the {{cmd|place template}} command. They are also used during the generation of some [[Structure]]s and of [[Fossil]] features. ==== Prebuild structures ====
