  4. 06

    Adjust the position, then select the green “Load” button

    After import, a preview appears. The offset values on the left are relative to the structure block. Changing a value by 1 moves the build by one block on that axis.

    XMove east or west
    ＋ East － West
    YMove up or down
    ＋ Up － Down
    ZMove north or south
    ＋ South － North

    Adjust X and Z a little at a time to move the build into clear space. Adjust Y if it is too high or underground. Check the preview after each change. Select the green “Load” button only when the position is right.

    The structure block shows a preview. Gold arrow 6 points to the green Load button, which places the build.
Done

Your build is in the world

Select “Load”, then return to the game to see your placed build. The screenshot shows the example build; your own downloaded build will appear in your world.

Common situations

The command does not work?

Use a Bedrock world with cheats and commands enabled. Structure blocks are also available in the Creative inventory.

The build is missing from the file picker?

Check that the download ends in .mcstructure. It is usually in Downloads. If your browser saved it elsewhere, open that folder instead.

The preview outline is in the wrong position?

Place the structure block near the intended site, then adjust X, Y and Z as shown in step ⑥. Offsets follow world directions, regardless of where your player faces. Check that loading will not cover existing buildings.
