Generated Structures

**Generated Structures** are randomly-generated features found throughout a *Minecraft* world. Generated structures can be found in many Biomes, alternate dimensions, and can be either natural or manmade features. Some of these Structures can be found by doing the /locate command.

## Overworld Structures

The Overworld is home to many different generated structures. The following is a list of most of them, in alphabetical order.

### Abandoned Mineshaft

Abandoned Mineshafts are large, complex underground tunnels that contain wood, rails, and minecarts filled with loot. In some cases, cave spider Mob Spawners can be found encased within a cluster of cobwebs. Some other Mob Spawners that are possible too find are Zombie and Skeleton. A mineshaft is a good place to find ores, considering that is probably what the mineshaft was originally used for. They frequently connect to a dungeon.

### Dungeon

Dungeons are small 5x5 (sometimes 7x7) rooms, that randomly generate underground, usually near an abandoned mineshaft or cave. Dungeons contain a mob spawner, which will spawn either Zombies or Skeletons, as well as two loot chests filled with random items, including some that are not craftable (such as a saddle or name tag).

### Igloo

They are very small and simple, and contain a bed, crafting table, furnace, and a redstone torch. Occasionally, breaking one of the carpets will reveal a ladder down to a basement. There is villager next to a zombie villager, both in separate cells. A chest nearby contains a golden apple and other assorted loot, and a brewing stand nearby contains a Splash Potion of Weakness. In which you can use these items to turn the Zombie Villager into a Villager.

### Natural Terrain

Terrain varies throughout the overworld, depending on the biome and world generator. Players can find hills, mountains, caves, ravines and many other natural structures. Tree species and other natural structures like Huge Mushrooms also vary (or may not generate at all), depending on the biome. There is always a chance that a world seed will generate an overworld containing extreme or unusual terrain.

### Ocean Monument

Ocean Monuments are underwater, pyramid-like structures, which randomly generate in Ocean Biomes. They consist of several types of rooms and hallways, and are populated with Guardians and Elder Guardians. This is the only place in *Minecraft* where one can obtain a Sponge.

### Stronghold

Strongholds are large structures which rarely generate underground. They contain an End Portal, a player's only means of reaching The End.
A player can also find chests and iron bars here.

### Temples

Players can find two different types of temples in two different biomes throughout the overworld. They are similar, since both contain loot and traps.

**Desert Temples**  are found in Desert Biomes. They are pyramid-shaped, and made of sandstone and colored clay. If a player manages to safely reach the bottom of the hidden loot room, without stepping on the pressure plate, they can retrieve treasure out of four chests (with one usually containing a Notch Apple). If a player steps on the pressure plate, it sets off TNT, which destroys all of the treasure.

**Jungle Temples** are found in Jungle Biomes, and are normally hidden within dense tree growth. The temple itself is made of mossy cobblestone and is covered in vines. Two chests of loot can be found inside. In order to reach them, the player must safely make their way through a tripwire and dispenser-filled corridor.

### Village

 Dosya:Minecraft village.png  Villages consist of several different buildings, populated with various types of Villagers, Cats, and sometimes an Iron Golem. A village's appearance and layout varies based on the biome in which it generates. For example, a village that is generated within the desert will have houses built of sandstone, instead of wood. Certain buildings within a village may or may not spawn, such as the tall cobblestone "church" or blacksmith building.

### Woodland Mansion

Woodland Mansions generate in the Roofed Forest Biome. These structures contain hostile Vindicator and Evoker mobs, as well as multiple loot chests. This is the only structure that a player can get a Totem of Undying.

## End Structures

### End City

 Dosya:End.png  An end city is a tall, tower-like structure which can vary slightly in both size and shape. There are two ways to get to the area where end cities spawn. One way to reach an End City, is by defeating the Ender Dragon in The End, and then using an ender pearl to activate the portal. This will take players to the "outer end", where end cities can be located fairly easily. The other, more difficult way to reach an end city, is to build a bridge 900-1000 blocks long at the edge of the main island. This method takes a long time, and requires many blocks. Also if unlucky, a player could be knocked off the edge of their bridge by an endearman. End cities are hard to miss, with their bright-colored Purpur Blocks, and interesting spire designs. If a player is able to climb past the difficult Shulker mobs and reach the top, they may find valuable treasure.

### End Ship

There is a chance an End Ship will generate above and end city. These structures contain Elytra, and other rare treasure.
