WITS (What Is This Structure?)
With WITS, a player who types /wits learns the registry names of every structure at their current position.
What it does
The mod adds a single command, /wits, which prints the identifiers of the structures found at the spot the player is standing on. It works in single-player worlds and on servers. Because it runs on the server, players who join a server running WITS can use the base command without installing anything, including vanilla clients.
Operators and server owners get an extended form, /witsop, which accepts a dimension and coordinates so that structures in any dimension, at any coordinates, can be looked up. Players without operator rights cannot use the extra parameters. WITS detects only structures, not features such as vanilla dungeons or desert wells, because features store no information in the chunk after world generation. Every structure that /locate can find is detectable by WITS. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, is open source under the MIT License, and has files for 25 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3.
Key features
Structure name lookup
The /wits command prints the identifiers of structures touching the player's exact position.
Operator lookup at any location
The /witsop command takes a dimension and coordinates, returning structure names anywhere in any dimension.
Base command for all clients
Installed on a server, the base command is available to every connecting player, including vanilla clients.
Restricted extended command
Only operators can pass the dimension and coordinate parameters, which keeps the extended lookup out of ordinary play.

What the author says
WITS is a neat small command mod that can work on both single player worlds and on servers! All this mod does is add a new command called /wits. Run that command and it'll print out the registry names of all structures at the exact spot you are standing at. That's it! Putting this mod on a server will grant all…
