Description

The jigsaw block is a technical block used by the game to assemble structure pieces during world generation. It is not meant for typical building or decoration but rather helps with how the game puts together complex structures like villages and ruins. The block stores information about which piece to place next and how pieces should connect when the game is creating generated structures. Players rarely need to interact with it directly, though it can be examined with commands and is available in the creative inventory for map makers and technical players. It is an important tool behind the scenes for the game world so removing or changing it without understanding can alter structure generation.
