Note

⇭⇭⇭, 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.

If successful, ⇭⇭⇭, the following message is sent to chat: "The nearest  is at [ ~ ] ( blocks away) ", in which  is the horizontal distance between the executor and the structure feature. And the coordinates can be clicked, which can put the command in the chat box. The command can then be executed, and the player will be sent to those coordinates.
