# Custom village

## Create the file

To create a custom village, the first command to run is :

```
/scustom village <villagename>
```

This generates a folder located located at `/plugins/Stratos/customization/village/<villagename>`. In this folder you will find two other folders : houses and center.&#x20;

## Set up the village

In these folders you have to put the xml files you created using the [Stratos Tool](https://alex-plugins.gitbook.io/stratos/customization/stratos-tool). The center is the structure that will spawn at the center of the village and houses will spawn arround it.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Every house and center build has to be under 15x15 blocks to fit one chunk.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Every village structure has the same probability to spawn
{% endhint %}

## Set the village in your custom biome

Go into the `<biomename>.yml` file you want to add the cave and modify the **village** property and set it to `<villagename>`.
