Structure Control
by ohayden
With Structure Control, a pack developer decides which portals and generated structures appear in a world, from ruined portals and villages to the Nether and End gateways.
What it does
Structure Control is a configurable mod that lets a modpack developer turn individual portals and structure generation on or off. Ruined portals, villages, the stronghold, Buried Treasure and Desert Pyramids can each be removed from a world, and the Nether and End portal activation paths can be switched off as well. The aim is a pack built around one theme, where elements that do not fit are simply absent.
Modded structures are covered too. Structures added by other mods can be disabled from the same configuration, so a pack can drop generated content that clashes with its theme. A Show Options listing reports every structure found at the player's current location, which helps identify what to turn off.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, under All rights reserved. The latest file is 1.8.5 for 1.21.4, released 2025-12-27.
