Structure Block block in Minecraft
The Structure Block is a technical block for map makers: it saves a part of the world to a file and loads it back elsewhere. It cannot be crafted or found in survival; you get it with the /give command, in creative mode with operator rights.
It cannot be broken in Survival.
What it does
It has four modes. Save copies the blocks and entities inside a box of up to 48 blocks per side into a named structure file. Load places a saved structure, with options to rotate, mirror it, and leave out entities or part of the blocks. Corner marks the corners of an area so a save block can detect its size, and Data tags a spot for data packs.
Mojang uses structure blocks to build the pieces of villages, bastions, trial chambers and other generated structures, together with the Jigsaw Block. Players use them to copy builds between worlds, to share them as files and to create adventure maps.
A structure block cannot be broken in survival, explosions and the Ender Dragon do not affect it, and a redstone signal can trigger its save or load action.
