Structure Grabber

Grab any region of the world into a structure .snbt file, the way /fill takes a region to fill it.

Client side only, so the server never needs the mod.

/structuregrabber <from> <to> [name]

Both corners take the coordinates /fill takes, absolute or ~ relative, and the region between them is written to structuregrabber\<name>.snbt in the game directory, named after the time when no name is given. Chat links the finished file. Corners can also be set one at a time while you walk a build, with pos1, pos2, grab and clear.

The result is a plain structure template: drop it into a datapack under data\<namespace>\structure\, or load it in a structure block.

The in-game config sets the output folder, whether entities and air are saved, and how large a region may be.

In single player the grab reads the world the game is running, so block entities are complete and chunks load on demand. On a server it can only use what the client was sent, which leaves out chest and machine contents, and it refuses regions whose chunks are not loaded.
