/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 an existing registered resource location or tag in correct registry.

Note

The horizonal search resolution is 32 blocks, and vertical resolution is 64 blocks, which means biomes that are too narrow 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.
