LocateMore

by rasmus123d

Players who search for structures on a server can use LocateMore to find the nearest matches in exact distance order, without freezing the server tick.

What it does

The mod extends the vanilla locate command with an optional count argument that accepts values from 1 to 100. The vanilla command returns a single result and blocks the server thread while it searches, while LocateMore routes the same request through its own engine and returns several nearest structures, biomes or points of interest in distance order.

Results stream to chat with the nearest one on the first line, which can be clicked to teleport. A boss bar shows search progress, and the server keeps ticking while the search runs in the background. The mod's API lives in the com.rasmus.locatemore.api package, with a future that completes with an exact distance order and flags showing whether the ordering is fully settled or the budget cut the search short. Other packages are internal.

The engine starts from the world seed and walks only the chunks where a structure start can exist, instead of spiraling outward and re-checking overlapping areas as vanilla does. Candidates in ungenerated terrain are settled by the same generation-point math the game uses, and chunks are generated only when a candidate needs verifying with the same checks vanilla applies. The release build was compared with real generation on both supported versions before shipping, and its test script is run on both.

Key features

  1. Multiple nearest results

    The count argument returns up to 100 nearest structures, biomes or points of interest instead of one.

  2. Exact distance order

    Results are sorted by true distance, fixing the vanilla locate behavior reported in MC-138887.

  3. Non-blocking search

    The search runs off the server thread, so the server keeps ticking while it works.

  4. Clickable chat results

    Matches stream into chat with the nearest first, and each line can be clicked to teleport.

  5. Public API

    Other mods can call the com.rasmus.locatemore.api package to use the same search engine.

What the author says

Find the N nearest structures, biomes or POIs instead of just the closest. Exact distance order. The server keeps ticking. Vanilla /locate blocks the server thread and returns one result, and that result is not always the nearest. LocateMore adds an optional count from 1 to 100 to the vanilla command and routes…
