What structures can be placed with a structure block?

I would like to edit/replace the swamp hut and mineshafts, but I am not sure what the namespace/path is. So does anyone know of a list of the structures that can be placed with the structure block and the proper names to place them?

On the wiki, I was able to find the proper names for Woodland mansion rooms, ocean ruin buildings, and even shipwrecks, but not the two I want most.

For the swamp hut, I know it is called a swamp_temple so I named both the file and the folder that, but it still does not seem to work. I tried swamp_hut and swamp_temple (both with and without the space), both inside and out of a folder etc.

And I assume the mineshaft is something weird like the woodland mansion rooms. I tried "tunnel", which did not work, and gave up.

After hours of research, I cannot find any lists anywhere

Edit, I have renamed the file to something I know works, and I can confirm my NBT file works if I get the name right.

According to the structure block wiki (), only the following structures have folders in minecraft.jar, and are able to have their parts be placed with structure blocks:

ancient_city

bastion

end_city

fossil

igloo

nether_fossils

pillager_outpost

ruined_portal

shipwreck

underwater_ruin

village

woodland_mansion

coral_crust‌ [BE only]

Or in other words, other structures like desert pyramids, ocean monuments, mineshafts, strongholds, and worldgen features like dungeons and desert wells cannot be modified/placed.
