Locate Plus
by forest_mask
Locate Plus is a Fabric server mod for finding block entities, items and mobs across the loaded chunks around a player, with a teleport option for each result.
What it does
Running the locate command scans the loaded chunks around the player and reports matching block entities, item structures and entities. Scanning covers a square of chunks around the executor, horizontal only, with the full height of the world always included. Results can be teleported to from the chat list, and a searching tag lists each match with its own count and teleport button.
Targets can be given as ids, tags or selectors, and modded ids work with their namespace, so a query such as minecraft:zombie or e[type=minecraft:creeper] selects the matching entities. Large scans warn the executor first and run sliced across ticks so the server does not freeze. Without forceload the scan reads only chunks already in memory and never generates terrain, and skipped chunks are counted and reported.
Locate Plus requires Fabric API. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, is open source, and is published for Fabric across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with 2.2.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Block entity and entity search
Finds block entities, item structures and entities in the loaded chunks around the executor.
Target selectors
Accepts ids, tags and selectors, including modded ids with their namespace.
Scan limits
Caps of 1,000 chunks and 16,000 blocks apply by default, both configurable, and large scans are sliced across ticks.
Glowing and marker outlines
Each result gets a glowing outline and a glass duplicate of the block at close to its true size, and that marker is removed a minute later.
Forceload option
Adding forceload loads unloaded chunks before scanning, and nothing is force-loaded unless asked.

What the author says
Find any block, entity or item, not just structures. Scans, surveys, inspects and teleports you there safely. Server-side only, no client install needed. Permission level 2 by default. Add forceload to most commands to include unloaded chunks.
