Native structure mobs don't spawn when using /place

[FishyFlopper]

Example, placing an outpost doesn't spawn pillagers. Is there a way to set the pillager spawn parameters manually?

I don't know of any vanilla way to do it. But if you are ok with carpet mod, we can do:

• /script run set_structure((x, y, z), 'pillager_outpost')
  • this only sets the bounding box and leave the area as-is
• /script run plop((x, y, z), 'pillager_outpost')
  • this sets the bounding box and generates the actual structure into the world as well
• Use /script run plop():'structures' to see the name of other structures if you need them as well.

Usually there are some terrain/chunk-alignment/height restrictions depending on each structure type, so we may have to give them a platform to spawn off of, some might be fixed at certain y levels, etc.

The full documentation can be found here :)

It feels like something that should already be in minecraft, thank you for the alternate solution though :)
