Structure Generation Improver (SGI: Foundations!)
by Vivideru
Structure Generation Improver reshapes the terrain around generated structures, filling gaps and adding slopes so buildings sit on the ground.
What it does
During world generation the mod checks each structure as it is placed. Where a building would float, show its underside or end at a sheer cut in the terrain, it fills the cavities, builds slopes that adapt to the site and restores surface layers that match the biome.
Exclusions can be set for whole namespaces, such as minecraft.*, or for structure tags in the #namespace:tag form. The changes apply only to newly generated chunks; existing worlds are not modified after the fact.
Structure Generation Improver is server-side only and published for Forge (1.20.1) and NeoForge (1.21.1) under All rights reserved.
Key features
Foundations under structures
Empty space below a structure is filled, so buildings no longer hang over gaps in the terrain.
Adaptive slopes
Terrain next to a structure is shaped into slopes instead of leaving vertical cuts around it.
Biome surface rebuild
Rebuilt ground gets the surface layers of the surrounding biome, so filled areas match the landscape.
Exclusion rules
Namespaces and structure tags can be excluded, which keeps chosen structures exactly as their authors placed them.
