A compass that points away from villages so you know when you're clear to build one — then a block that generates the whole village. Cherry blossom included.

About

Description

Find your spot, then build your village.

Sia's Workshop is a small quality-of-life worldgen mod about founding villages of your own. It gives you two tools — one to know where you can build, and one that builds the village for you — plus an optional cherry-blossom makeover for the villages Minecraft already generates.

Wilderness Compass

A compass that points away from the nearest village. Right-click to scan: the needle locks onto the closest village and shows how far it is, so you can walk until you have enough separation to start one of your own. If no village is within range, the needle rests — you're clear to build.

  • Right-click to scan for the nearest village (640 block radius).
  • The needle points directly away from it, with a live distance readout.
  • Instant verdict: "clear to build here" or "too close" with the required separation.

Village Foundation

A cornerstone block that generates a full village where you place it. Open its screen, pick a flavor — cherry blossom or vanilla — and press Create. The foundation is consumed by the creation it anchors.

  • Generates a complete, naturally-structured village at the block.
  • Flavor picker: Cherry Blossom or Vanilla.
  • Respects minimum village separation; tells you if you're too close.

Cherry-themed villages (optional)

Through the server config (cherryfyVillages), vanilla villages generate re-skinned with cherry-blossom materials — primary cherry wood with per-building accent woods. Off by default; only affects newly generated chunks.

How to use

  1. Craft or grab the Wilderness Compass and right-click: it reports the nearest village and points away from it.
  2. Walk until the scan says the spot is clear (or no village is in range).
  3. Place the Village Foundation, right-click it, choose your flavor, and press Create Village.
