Generated Structure Ideas:
Hello, I'm Zeke. I'm fairly new to the forums and I was browsing topics when an idea popped up in my head: A topic where the players can post ideas of what structures they would like to see in the future! I'm not asking 4J to add anymore structures to the game. This thread is simply a place for players to post their ideas. I think more generated structures would add a kind of adventure feel to the game, like Skyrim.
So I'll start it off; Abondoned Watchtowers:The towers would be made up of cobblestone and consist of 2-3 floors. They would contain treasure such as Bows, arrows, string and sticks. The towers would only spawn in plains and forest biomies.
Explorer Shacks:
These would be fairly common, more so than Abandoned Watchtowers. They would be made of wood and wood planks. Inside would be a bed and a chest sometimes containing seeds, stone swords, torches and coal. Shacks would spawn in forest and tagia biomies.
Boathouses: Boathouses would only spawn along the shores of rivers and lakes. They would be made of the same matierials as the Explorer Shack. They would also have a small dock made of half slabs reaching out into the water. Boathouses would contain chests with boats and fishing rods inside.
Treehouses: Treehouses only spawn in Jungle biomies. I AM aware that Jungles are and will not be added to the Xbox for some time. Treehouses would be platforms situated on Jungle trees. Some would have walls, and some would simply have fences around the outside. All treehouses will have torches to make them easier to spot. They will contain chests that hold bows, wood swords and axes and sometimes, but rarely, ladders.
Miners Shelter: Miner Shelters are strictly found underground. They are normally about the size of a dungeon and the walls are made of cobble and wood planks. They contain 1-2 beds and a chest that holds iron pickaxes and torches. Same concept as the Explorers Shack, only underground.
Lumberjack Cabins: These buildings only spawn in forest and tagia biomes. They are made of wood, dark wood, and wood planks. They are small one story cabins surrounded by trees. They contain a bed and 1-2 chests sometimes holding wood, stone and iron axes and sticks.
Above Ground Strongholds: These forts would only spawn in the extreme hills biome. There would be only one per map. They are basically like the strongholds found underground in the PC version. Some differences would be that they have walls surrounding them and sometimes watchtowers. Also, it would be possible to find iron armor inside. However, they would not be fully intact. The stronghold would be abandoned and destroyed. If the player wanted to make it it their base, they would have to repair it AND destroy the two monster spawners located inside of it.
Shrines: These small temples are found deep in forest biomes. They are made of wood and mossy cobblestone. They are also covered in vines. Inside, they contain a small alter and a chest that either contains gold ingots or iron ingots.
Good ideas, what about an abandoned church? It would be large, made out of smooth stone, wood, and large glass windows. But, it would be trashed, walls felled over, windows partially broken, wooden pews (stairs) scattered, and cobwebs everywhere. And perhaps a cave spider spawner? Things like redstone, books, and paper could be in some chests.

Nice idea, I like it. What biome would it spawn in? Maybe swamps?
love the idea of explorer shacks. i usually build a few around my map just to have some safe houses when im exploring. it'd be great if they'd automatically spawn.
i'm probably most excited about the structures in the coming update. i'm so into exploring my maps and having structures to find is going to be SO MUCH FUN to me. i know the structures are all going to be basically useless for the time being, but just finding them is going to bring me so much enjoyment.

Thanks. I know what you mean when you say It's enjoyable to find structures. It gives the player more to do in the game and you can find treasure.
An idea of mine would be pyramids in desert biomes. They could be made out of sand stone but not sure of what items you can put in there... any ideas?
Hmm, probably gold ingots and maybe gold swords. I like the idea of pyramids, although it kinda sounds similar to the deasert temples already in the PC version.

never played the pc version so i wouldnt know lol but i like the idea of gold ingots and swords in them though
I like the idea a lot, perhaps only have a certain number that can spawn. I think they should be a rare treat to find. I wouldn't want them spamming the wilds everywhere

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Regarding how many spawn, I agree that not to many should be allowed to spawn, of course. If they cluttered the lanscape it really wouldn't feel like minecraft anymore.
