Command /locate | How to Find Any Biome in Minecraft

Note: The /locate command only works if cheats are enabled in single-player or if you have administrator privileges on a server.

The /locate command syntax varies depending on the Minecraft version:

• Before version 1.19:

  /locate <structure>
  

  Example:

  /locate minecraft:village_desert
  

  Displays the coordinates of the nearest village.

• Version 1.19 and later:

  /locate structure minecraft:<structure_name>
  /locate biome minecraft:<biome_name>
  /locate poi minecraft:<point_of_interest>
  

  Examples:

  /locate structure minecraft:stronghold
  

  Displays the coordinates of the nearest stronghold.

  /locate biome minecraft:jungle
  

  Finds the nearest jungle biome.

Now, you can locate any of these biomes using the command /locate biome minecraft:<biome_name>. For example:

/locate biome minecraft:mangrove_swamp

This command will display the coordinates of the nearest mangrove swamp.

After executing the command, the coordinates of the nearest structure or biome will appear in the chat. To quickly teleport there, use the teleport command:

/tp <player_name> <x> <y> <z>

Example:

/tp Steve 1000 70 -2000

This will teleport the player Steve to the specified coordinates.

In newer versions of Minecraft, you can click on the coordinates in the chat, and they will automatically be inserted into the teleport command.

The /locate command allows you to quickly find biomes, villages, strongholds, and other key locations in Minecraft. It is a powerful tool for efficient exploration and fast travel to necessary points of interest.
