Commands/locatebiome

locatebiome

Permission level required	2
Restrictions	None

Displays the coordinates for the closest biome of a given biome ID or a biome tag in the chat for the player who executed the command.

Syntax

locatebiome <biome>

Arguments

<biome>: resource_or_tag

Specifies the biome(s) to be located. See Biome/ID for a list of available biome IDs.

Must be a resource location or a tag.

Note

Only the biome with the same vertical coordinate as the execution position can be located. The search resolution is 32 blocks, which means biomes that are narrower than 32 blocks may not be found.

If successful, the following message is sent to chat: "The nearest <biome name> is at [<x> ~ <z>] (<distance> blocks away)"/"The nearest <biome tag> (<biome name>) is at [<x> ~ <z>] (<distance> blocks away)", in which <distance> is the horizontal distance between the executor and the biome. The coordinates can be clicked, which can put the command /tp @s <x> ~ <z> in the chat box. The command can then be executed, and the player will be sent to those coordinates.
