A structure is a saved build, like a house, ruin, tower or dungeon. Bedrock add-ons can include structures and make them generate naturally as players explore, just like villages and shipwrecks.
Addon's Studio makes the hardest part easy: getting your build out of Minecraft. It gives you a Structure Exporter add-on that copies a build as a code you paste into the app.

Step by step
Install the Structure Exporter
Install the Structure Exporter add-on the app gives you, and turn it on in a world.
Select your build
Build something, then use the Structure Exporter item on two opposite corners of it.
Export the code
Use the item in the air and choose Export. Copy the code it shows.
Paste it into the app
Back in Addon's Studio, tap Add structure, then Paste code. You can also import .mcstructure files made with a structure block on PC.
Make it generate
Turn on Generates naturally, then choose the dimension, biomes, how rare it is and whether it sits on the ground, underground or in the sky.
Place it yourself
You can also place it any time with the /structure command.
Tips
- Keep structures under about 48×48×48 blocks so exporting stays quick.
- Rarity is 1 in every so many chunks. Villages are roughly 1 in 300.
- Use Sink into the ground to set the floor into the terrain so it doesn't float.
- Random rotation makes repeated structures look less copy-pasted.
- Like ores, structures only generate in newly explored chunks.
Questions
Can my structure generate in a custom dimension?
Yes. Your custom dimensions appear as choices, and a Dimension's editor can also list structures that generate there.
Do I need a PC to export a build?
No. The Structure Exporter add-on works inside Minecraft and gives you a code to paste. If you are on PC, .mcstructure files from a structure block also work.
How big can a structure be?
Keep it under about 48×48×48 blocks. Bigger builds take longer to export.
