/locate

Finds the nearest specified structure, biome, or point of interest and displays its coordinates.

Syntax

/locate <structure|biome|poi> <id>

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
type	literal	Required	What to locate: structure, biome, or poi (point of interest).
id	resource	Required	The ID of the structure, biome, or POI to find (e.g., village, fortress, plains).

Examples

/locate structure minecraft:village_plains

Finds and displays the coordinates of the nearest plains village.

/locate biome minecraft:mushroom_fields

Finds the nearest mushroom fields biome.

/locate structure minecraft:stronghold

Finds the nearest stronghold.

Common Mistakes

Forgetting the 'structure' or 'biome' keyword, since 1.19, you must specify the type before the ID.
Using incorrect structure names, many were renamed in 1.19 (e.g., 'buried_treasure' became 'minecraft:buried_treasure').

Notes

The output includes clickable coordinates that suggest a /tp command. The search may take time for rare structures. Since 1.19, /locatebiome was merged into /locate biome.
