[x] I am running the latest alpha version of MineColonies for my Minecraft version.
[x] I checked the MineColonies/Structurize wiki and made sure that my feature does not already exist.
[x] I made sure that this feature request is not a duplicate of any existing feature request.
Context
Minecraft Version: 1.20.1
MineColonies Version: 1.1.385
Is your feature request related to a problem?
One of my only critiques of this mod (and one that is probably shared among many) is the requirement to use prefabricated structures.
The process of adding custom structures is tricky and not survival friendly.
Feature description
When using the build tool to place a structure, I would like to see an alternative option to the default styles, titled something along the lines of "Build it myself".
This option would provide a list of requirements to be met for the space to be a valid structure (in the case of homes, room and a bed).
Players would have the freedom to build their own structure in the area that they selected, and when the requirements are met the player can return to the hut block and press "Finish building".
When this is done the mod would scan the given area for the basic requirements and mark the structure as a part of the colony, allowing colonists to interact with the necessary blocks. Progression would still be possible as colonists require more utilities as they level up (e.g. more racks for a warehouse).
Notes or related things
I understand this is probably a frequently requested feature, but I wanted to provide my own take on the situation as I feel this is an important issue with the mod in a game centered around creative freedom.
