Dungeon Finder
by Stereo528
Dungeon Finder lets a player type one server command to locate the nearest spawner, and it prints the distance from the player to the closest one.
What it does
The command searches a box of blocks around the player for spawner blocks. The box is an axis-aligned bounding box whose radius defaults to 32 blocks and can be set from 1 to 64. Each search reports the closest spawner it finds, and an optional argument can change how many spawners are listed in chat. Larger searches take longer, because the box covers more blocks, so the default keeps the scan small.
The mod is needed only on the server, and players on singleplayer worlds can use it through the local server. In singleplayer, cheats must still be enabled before the command can run. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.1, and its code is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License.
Key features
Nearest spawner command
A server command reports the spawner closest to the player, with its distance in blocks.
Adjustable search radius
The search box extends 32 blocks from the player by default and can be widened up to 64 blocks.
Listing several spawners
An optional argument sets how many spawners appear in the chat output, showing more than the closest one.
Block-based search
The command checks the blocks inside the box for spawner blocks, so it finds spawners in loaded terrain without any extra setup.
