The Structure Block is a technical, indestructible block used to save, load, and manipulate structures — the same system that generates villages, strongholds, and other vanilla structures. It is only obtainable in Creative mode via the `/give` command and cannot be broken in Survival.

What are the Structure Block's modes?

Save, Load, Corner, Data, and (in Bedrock) Export/Import 3D-print, each controlling a different structure operation.
