 In the bulk MapNode data, param1, instead of the typical light values, instead represents the

+When passed to minetest.create_schematic, probability is an integer value ranging from -1 to 255:
+ - A probability value of 0 means that node will always appear.

+ - If the probability value p is greater than 0, then there is a (p / 256 * 100)% chance that node

+If registering a structure in the raw format, however, -1 is not a valid probability value; in order to
+have a node that is not placed, it must be CONTENT_IGNORE (the name for which is "ignore").

 Important note: Node aliases cannot be used for a raw schematic provided when registering as a decoration.
