Stonekeep Citadel

Quickstart

1. Open the Creative inventory and search for Structure Wand. It is found in the Tools tab.
2. Hold the wand and use it to launch a magical projectile.
3. Aim at a clear area. When the projectile hits a block or entity, the citadel begins forming at the impact location.
4. Watch the structure assemble with particles and sound. The construction animation lasts about three seconds.

The wand has a one-item stack limit and a short cooldown between uses. Leave plenty of open space around the impact point for the citadel’s walls, towers, battlements, gatehouse, and central keep.

Overview

Stonekeep Citadel adds a massive stone fortress that can be summoned into the world. The citadel is built as a complete structure, with fortified outer walls, imposing towers, battlements, a grand gatehouse, and a central keep.

You can summon it either with the Structure Wand or with the structure commands. The structure appears with a magical animated construction effect before becoming a permanent build in the world.

What It Adds

How To Use

Summoning With the Structure Wand

Equip the Structure Wand and use it while looking toward the desired location. The wand launches a visible projectile that leaves magical particles behind.

When the projectile collides with a block or entity:

• The citadel starts building at the collision location.
• An impact chime and magical particle burst appear.
• The structure assembles over approximately 60 game ticks.
• The completed citadel remains in the world as a normal build.

For the best result, aim at open terrain and make sure the target area has enough room for the entire fortress.

Building With Commands

The mod provides client-side structure commands for directly placing the citadel at your position.

List the available structures:

/structure list

Build the citadel at its full stored size:

/structure build stonekeep_citadel

Build it at an approximate target size:

/structure build stonekeep_citadel <size>

The size must be between 16 and 256 blocks. For example:

/structure build stonekeep_citadel 64

The structure is placed at your current block position and oriented according to your horizontal facing direction. The size value scales the structure based on its largest dimension; it is an approximate overall size rather than an exact width, height, or length.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no crafting recipes for the citadel or Structure Wand.

In Creative mode, obtain the wand from the Tools tab or search for Structure Wand in the Creative inventory.

If you need to give yourself the wand directly, use:

/give @s stonekeep-citadel-7htnnncg:structure_wand

The citadel itself is summoned with the wand or the /structure build command rather than crafted from individual materials.

Abilities And Mechanics

Animated Construction

A successful summon is accompanied by:

• A flying magical projectile
• Witch, enchantment, end rod, and happy villager particles
• A flash and particle burst when construction completes
• A chime when the projectile reaches its target

The animation is visual, while the completed fortress becomes part of the world at the end of the process.

Orientation

Command-built citadels use the direction your player is facing. When using the wand, aim the projectile at the area where you want the structure to begin.

Scaling

The wand summons the citadel at a target size of approximately 128 blocks across its largest dimension, unless the stored structure is smaller.

The command version gives you more control:

• Omit the size to use the full stored dimensions.
• Use a value from 16 to 256 to scale the citadel.
• Smaller sizes are useful for compact showcases or crowded terrain.
• Larger sizes require a broad, unobstructed building site.

Wand Cooldown

After using the Structure Wand, it enters a short cooldown of about three seconds. Wait for the cooldown to finish before summoning another citadel.

Progression And Strategy

Stonekeep Citadel is primarily a Creative-mode building and world-decoration experience. Try the following:

• Summon the fortress on a wide plain so its complete defensive layout is visible.
• Place it near a road, harbor, kingdom, or custom adventure map as a major landmark.
• Use the command size option to create smaller outposts or larger centerpiece fortresses.
• Face different directions before using /structure build to vary the citadel’s orientation.
• Keep multiple citadels separated by open terrain so their walls and towers do not overlap.
• Build on level ground when possible, since steep terrain or existing structures can obstruct the fortress.
