Fixed again and thanks! I’m guessing you looked at my StructureTutorialMod for creating a new structure. But yeah, doing a reverse pillager outpost placing is smart for having a nearby building to villages without actually being connected. I’m imagining a village barn and stuff lol. Good luck with your mod!

I just checked, and yep I got inspiration from the StructureTutorialMod, I did not even realize that was also yours.
