I don't know my version or loader
Inspired by CasterMx13's "Base Camps -Placeable Structures" for Fabric, this mod is a group of craftable items used to place structures that can be used as temporary camps, or to give you a place to star building from.
Keeping the crafting requirements simple while also giving a selection of structures to choose from was tricky, but the idea is that these structures are to be used in the early game or to give you a quick base to work from when expanding your world.
Seven structures in total, with a simple progression up through three stages of complexity.
Warning:
The structures are 13x13 on the XZ plane, with the Y value based on the heigh of the resulting structure, so be careful where you place them as it CAN destroy a lot of blocks.
NeoForge
Only four 11x5x11 craftable bases got translated over to NeoForge, but do include structure voids to destroy fewer blocks.
Recommended:
Although the recipes are simple, you will want either REI or JEI to quickly access and view the recipes for needed materials.
