Making NBT Struture spawn on surfaces in The End 1.19.2

Essentially what happens is that when my structure which spawns in a specific biome spawns over the void it goes all the way down and gets cut off but I don't want that to happen and I tried setting it to 10 but then it floats on surfaces which I want it to be grounded how do I make it remains in the ground but does not generate over the void

There is no way to make a structure project to a heightmap in a floating islands dimension and also prevent it from generating in the void.

What you have to do instead is make your structure generate at roughly the height of the terrain, without a heightmap, so that if it does generate over the void, it makes a little island for itself with bearding

the issue is there is multiple layers with the datapack

it's very mountainous

[misty nexus]

Tough

There's no other option

[night kraken]

ovee

so absolute 0 is the best option

[misty nexus]

I didn't say that

[night kraken]

well I don't want bearding

[misty nexus]

Then don't

But you'll end up with floating structures

[night kraken]

absolute 0 does exactly what I want but the issue is when it goes in the void it goes to y 0 and then gets cut off

[misty nexus]

Ok, well if that's better for you then that's fine

[night kraken]

so there is no way to prevent it from even generating above the void?

[misty nexus]

From where I'm sitting this is one of those unfortunate situations where one needs to design one's structures around the available options and limitations, which might mean compromising or scrapping some of one's ideas

[misty nexus]

Nope

[night kraken]

ovee

alright it's fine then
