Ability to change directions of structures when cloning

I think the ability to clone structures facing different directions would be a great addition to map-making

    The solution you are looking for is structure blocks. They can save a region in the world, which can optionally include entities, to either memory or disk. When loading a structure using structure blocks, you can rotate or mirror the structure using the GUI. Here is some more information if you are interested. In my opinion, structure blocks are better than /clone because you can see an outline of where the structure would go before actually putting the structure there. If you need a command block or function to clone a structure, rather than doing it manually, you can just /setblock a structure block with the required NBT data and /setblock a redstone block next to the structure block, which will activate the structure block and load the structure.

    The structure block is not available in Java survival mode. It would be nice if it was added in Java, just like in Bedrock
