Places a configured feature, structure, structure template, or template pool if possible.

Syntax

Java Edition

place feature <feature> [<pos>]

Place the configured feature.

place jigsaw <pool> <target> <max_depth> [<position>]

Place a jigsaw structure starting with the specified template pool, starting jigsaw block and maximum depth.

place structure <structure> [<pos>]

Place the structure.

place template <template> [<pos>] [<rotation>] [<mirror>] [<integrity>] [<seed>] [strict]

Place the structure template. (Works like using the load button in the UI for a structure block.)

Bedrock Edition

place feature <feature: features> [position: x y z]

place featurerule <featurerule: featureRules> [position: x y z]

Place the feature.

place jigsaw <pool: filepath> <jigsawTarget: string> <maxDepth: int> [pos: x y z] [keepJigsaws: Boolean]

Place a jigsaw structure starting with the specified template pool, starting jigsaw block and maximum depth.

place structure <structure: string> [pos: x y z] [ignoreStartHeight: Boolean] [keepJigsaws: Boolean]

Place the structure.

Arguments

JE: <feature>: resource_key

Specifies the configured feature to place. See Feature for vanilla configured features.

Must be a resource location, which resolves during command execution into a registry entry in minecraft:worldgen/configured_feature registry.

JE: <structure>: resource_key
BE: structure: string: basic_string

Specifies the structure. See Structure for vanilla structures.

Must be a resource location, which resolves during command execution into a registry entry in minecraft:worldgen/structure registry.

JE: <pool>: resource_key
BE: pool: filepath: CommandFilePath

Specifies the start template pool to start generating a jigsaw.

Must be a resource location, which resolves during command execution into a registry entry in minecraft:worldgen/template_pool registry.

JE: <target>: resource_location
BE: jigsawTarget: string: basic_string

Specifies the jigsaw block that is connected to when generating the start structure pool.

Must be a resource location for an unregistered content.

JE: <max_depth>: integer
BE: maxDepth: int

Specifies the max depth of the jigsaw.

Must be a [Int]32-bit integer number (from -2147483648 (-2³¹) to 2147483647 (2³¹-1) ). And it must be between 1 and 20 (inclusive).

BE: <keepJigsaws: Boolean>: enum

Specifies whether the jigsaws should be kept or not. If not specified, defaults to false.

Must be a [Boolean]Boolean (either true or false).

JE: <template>: resource_location

Specifies the structure template to place.

Must be a resource location for an unregistered content.

JE: <pos>: block_pos and <position>: block_pos
BE: <pos: x y z>: CommandPosition

Specifies the start position of the placement.

Must be a block position composed of <X>, <Y> and <Z>, each of which must be an integer or a tilde and caret notation.

BE: feature: features: enum

Specifies the feature.

Must be a string. And it must be a single word that has no space or a double-quoted string (When quoted, \ can be used to escape characters).

BE: featurerule: featureRules: enum

Specifies the feature rule.

Must be a string. And it must be a single word that has no space or a double-quoted string (When quoted, \ can be used to escape characters).

BE: <ignoreStartHeight: Boolean>: enum

Specifies whether the structure should start generating at the given Y coordinate or follow its set height placement rules. If not specified, defaults to false.

Must be a [Boolean]Boolean (either true or false).

JE: <rotation>: template_rotation

Specifies the rotation to apply to the placed template.

Must be either none, clockwise_90, counterclockwise_90, or 180. If omitted, defaults to none.

JE: <mirror>: template_mirror

Specifies the mirroring to apply to the placed template.

Must be either none, front_back, or left_right. If omitted, defaults to none.

JE: <integrity>: float

Specifies the integrity value to apply to the placed template (how complete the template that gets placed is). If omitted, defaults to 1.0.

Must be a [Float]Single-precision floating-point number (from -(2-2^-23)×2¹²⁷ (≈-3.4×10³⁸) to (2-2^-23)2×¹²⁷ (≈3.4×10³⁸) ). And it must be between 0.0 and 1.0 (inclusive).

JE: <seed>: integer

Specifies the seed to use for randomized degradation of the placed template when integrity is less than 1. If omitted, defaults to 0.

Must be a [Int]32-bit integer number (from -2147483648 (-2³¹) to 2147483647 (2³¹-1) ).

JE: strict

Makes the command place blocks as-is without triggering block updates and shape updates.

History

Issues

The check to ensure that the target position is loaded works by testing if blocks are placeable at Y=0 in the target chunk. If this check is made in a custom dimension where Y=0 is out of the world, it will always fail, preventing the command from ever succeeding.^[5]

Issues relating to "Commands/place" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.
