Minecraft:Commands/locate

Displays the Minecraft:coordinates for the closest Minecraft:generated structure or Minecraft:biomes of a given type in the chat for the player who executed the Minecraft:command. Template:IN, it can also display for the closest points of interest.

Usage

For Template:Cd, the vertical coordinate of structure is ignored when finding. Template:IN, the horizonal search range is 201x201 units of the Structure's spacing (see Default structure sets for values). For example, Mansions have a spacing of 80 chunks, so it can search out ±128,000 blocks before failure. For concentric ring structures like Strongholds, there is no set max distance. Structures within the same Minecraft:structure set are ordered approximately by Minecraft:taxicab distance, and structures with greater spacing have prioritized over others due to a bug, meaning the found structure is not necessarily the closest.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

For Template:Cd, the horizonal search resolution is 32 blocks, and vertical resolution is 64 blocks, which means biomes that are too narrow may not be found. The horizonal search range is 12801×12801 blocks Template:In.Template:Info needed

Template:IN, for Template:Cd, the search range is a sphere with a radius of 256 blocks.

When locating structure or POI, if successful, the following message is sent to chat: "The nearest <requested thing(s)> is at [<x> ~ <z>] (<distance> blocks away)", in which <distance> is the horizontal distance from the executor.

When locating biome, if successful, the following message is sent to chat: "The nearest <requested biome(s)> is at [<x> <y> <z>] (<distance> blocks away)", in which <distance> is the distance from the executor to the biome.

Template:IN, the coordinates in these messages can be clicked, which can put the command Template:Cmd in the chat box. The command can then be executed, and the player is sent to those coordinates. Also, Template:In, this message does not appear if the command was run from a function.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
