Goddess Statue high spawn rate

I've noticed that the Goddess Statues from this mod spawn very often where a village can have upwards of 6 statues.

I'd like to suggest lowering the chances or having a config option to lower the spawning weight of these structures. It may already be possible to change this with a datapack but if so i'm having trouble finding what values need to be edited.

Thank you in advance!

You can change the structure file with datapack, if that's what you want.

Plains and desert village tends to have a lot of goddess statue structures because the structute is so small; it essentially can be rolled in area where all other entries don't fit. In contrast, villages from savanna and that one biome with spruce trees which i don't recall the name for, have abysmal spawn rate of goddess statues.

The structures are injected from the code, to provide flexible support for external datapacks. The weights are already on the minimum value, and even if the weights are adjusted, it would change nothing; the goddess statue structure will get rolled anyway. The only structure that gets rolled with would be horned statue structure, which is also small, but has some gross nested structure thing to induce artificial scarcity.

It would be better if I somehow could control how many goddess statue / horned statue structures are to be generated, but that sounds nigh impossible. I can do the gross hack that I've used in horned statue for the goddess statue structure, but (1) I'm lazy and (2) I still don't know how many structures would be generated in the village. It would be pain in the ass to adjust the internal value, generate 100 villages, count the numbers of goddess statue spawns, then adjust the internal value again. I guess this is the same thing as (1).

In the end I just left it to happen because it's better to give dozen then none. Goddess statues were nor meant to be rare, it was intended for nearly all villages to have one.

If it is possible i'd like to still come up with a alternative solution, what you said makes sense and i totally understand the potential lack of motivation, I think based on what you said that if you had bigger structures it may fix the issue.

I might be able to send some replacement structures, i'd really like to include this in my modpack im making but it clutters villages a lot. I've included a picture where 5 spruce village statues were in the same village plus a horned statue.

Perhaps worsened by my server's world being in multiple different versions of my modpack, ill check a fresh world. Perhaps refreshing the datapack saved in my server's level.dat would help too, that seems to fix generation issues with other mods such as Alex's Caves.

Where's Waldo in a nutshell.
