Custom feature

[inland epoch]

I need to make spikes sticking out of the ground, but I do not know how.

Spikes are a little tricky to make with just one feature. I recommend taking a look at how Incendium does it in their Toxic Heap biome

I can't sort through the files.

What do you mean?

I can't find an example.

in the datapack specified above

I'm pretty sure it's named something like spike, you can get the exact name by looking at the list of features that are in the toxic heap biome file. I'm positive it'll be obvious

If only it were that simple. the problem is that I can't check how the feature will turn out if I can't put it using /place and here in the datapack I can't find the file through which it is called.

It is that simple

It does look like the configured feature is written in-line inside the placed feature, so yes you won't be able to /place it directly from the incendium data pack. You'll need to move it, add it to your data pack, change it so that the configured feature section is a separated configured_feature file that the placed_feature references
