Note
For, the vertical coordinate of structure is ignored when finding. $$, the horizonal search range is 201×201 chunks. Structures in the Anvil chunk region of the command's execution are prioritized over others due to a bug, meaning the found structure is not necessarily the closest.

For, 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 $$.

$$, for, the search range is a ball with a radius of 256 blocks.

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

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

$$, the coordinates in these messages can be clicked, which can put the command in the chat box. The command can then be executed, and the player is sent to those coordinates.
