Field	Type	Description
`weight`	Integer	How likely this placement file is to be chosen compared to others. If several placements match the same area, one of them will be picked randomly using these weights.
`biomes`	Identifier or Array[Identifier]	A single biome ID, a biome tag (like `#minecraft:is_forest`), or an array of them. Caravans from this placement will only spawn in these biomes.
`pools`	Array[CaravanPool]	An array of themed groups of caravan variations. - Each pool has its own weight – controlling how often that pool is picked. - Inside each pool is an array of variations. - When a caravan spawns, the game first chooses a random pool based on pool weights, then picks one of that pool’s variations by its own weight.
