Note
The vertical coordinate of the structure is ignored when finding.

$$, 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. $$, the coordinates 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.
