You should use this method if you need a chunk but do not need it immediately, and you wish for it to be prioritised over other chunk loads in queue.

The future will always be executed synchronously on the main Server Thread.

Parameters:

block - Block to load the corresponding chunk from

gen - Should the chunk generate if it doesn't exist

Returns:

Future that will resolve when the chunk is loaded

You should use this method if you need a chunk but do not need it immediately, and you wish for it to be prioritised over other chunk loads in queue.

The future will always be executed synchronously on the main Server Thread.

Parameters:

x - Chunk x-coordinate

You should use this method if you need a chunk but do not need it immediately, and you wish to let the server control the speed of chunk loads, keeping performance in mind.

The future will always be executed synchronously on the main Server Thread.

Parameters:

x - Chunk x-coordinate

z - Chunk z-coordinate

gen - Should the chunk generate if it doesn't exist

spawn

 @NotNull Location location,
 @NotNull

 @NotNull
 CreatureSpawnEvent.SpawnReason spawnReason,
 boolean randomizeData,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Consumer<? super T> function)
                          throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new entity at the given Location with the supplied function run before the entity is added to the world.
Note that when the function is run, the entity will not be actually in the world. Any operation involving such as teleporting the entity is undefined until after this function returns. The passed function however is run after the potential entity's spawn randomization and hence already allows access to the values of the mob, whether or not those were randomized, such as attributes or the entity equipment.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the entity that is being created.

Parameters:

location - the location at which the entity will be spawned.

clazz - the class of the LivingEntity that is to be spawned.

spawnReason - the reason provided during the CreatureSpawnEvent call.

randomizeData - whether or not the entity's data should be randomised before spawning. By default entities are randomised before spawning in regards to their equipment, age, attributes, etc. An example of this randomization would be the color of a sheep, random enchantments on the equipment of mobs or even a zombie becoming a chicken jockey. If set to false, the entity will not be randomised before spawning, meaning all their data will remain in their default state and not further modifications to the entity will be made. Notably only entities that extend the Mob interface provide randomization logic for their spawn. This parameter is hence useless for any other type of entity.

function - the function to be run before the entity is spawned.

Returns:

the spawned entity instance.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if either the world or clazz parameter are null.

locateNearestStructure

@Nullable
@Deprecated(since="1.19")
@Nullable Location locateNearestStructure(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location origin,
 @NotNull
 StructureType structureType,
 int radius,
 boolean findUnexplored)

Deprecated.

Use locateNearestStructure(Location, Structure, int, boolean) or locateNearestStructure(Location, StructureType, int, boolean) instead.

Find the closest nearby structure of a given StructureType. Finding unexplored structures can, and will, block if the world is looking in chunks that have not generated yet. This can lead to the world temporarily freezing while locating an unexplored structure.

The radius is not a rigid square radius. Each structure may alter how many chunks to check for each iteration. Do not assume that only a radius x radius chunk area will be checked. For example, StructureType.WOODLAND_MANSION can potentially check up to 20,000 blocks away (or more) regardless of the radius used.

This will not load or generate chunks. This can also lead to instances where the server can hang if you are only looking for unexplored structures. This is because it will keep looking further and further out in order to find the structure.

Parameters:

origin - where to start looking for a structure

structureType - the type of structure to find

radius - the radius, in chunks, around which to search

findUnexplored - true to only find unexplored structures

Returns:

the closest Location, or null if no structure of the specified type exists.

locateNearestStructure

@Nullable
@Nullable StructureSearchResult locateNearestStructure(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location origin,

 @NotNull StructureType structureType,
 int radius,
 boolean findUnexplored)

Find the closest nearby structure of a given StructureType. Finding unexplored structures can, and will, block if the world is looking in chunks that have not generated yet. This can lead to the world temporarily freezing while locating an unexplored structure.

The radius is not a rigid square radius. Each structure may alter how many chunks to check for each iteration. Do not assume that only a radius x radius chunk area will be checked. For example, StructureType.WOODLAND_MANSION can potentially check up to 20,000 blocks away (or more) regardless of the radius used.

This will not load or generate chunks. This can also lead to instances where the server can hang if you are only looking for unexplored structures. This is because it will keep looking further and further out in order to find the structure.

The difference between searching for a StructureType and a Structure is, that a StructureType can refer to multiple Structures while searching for a Structure while only search for the given Structure.

Parameters:

origin - where to start looking for a structure

structureType - the type of structure to find

radius - the radius, in chunks, around which to search

findUnexplored - true to only find unexplored structures

Returns:

the closest Location and Structure, or null if no structure of the specified type exists.

The radius is not a rigid square radius. Each structure may alter how many chunks to check for each iteration. Do not assume that only a radius x radius chunk area will be checked.

Returns:

the closest Location and Structure, or null if no structure was found.

locateNearestBiome

@Nullable
default @Nullable BiomeSearchResult locateNearestBiome(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location origin,
 int radius,
 @NotNull
 @NotNull Biome... biomes)

Find the closest nearby location with a biome matching the provided Biome(s). Finding biomes can, and will, block if the world is looking in chunks that have not generated yet. This can lead to the world temporarily freezing while locating a biome.

Note: This will not reflect changes made to the world after generation, this method only sees the biome at the time of world generation. This will not load or generate chunks.

If multiple biomes are provided BiomeSearchResult.getBiome() will indicate which one was located.

This method will use a horizontal interval of 32 and a vertical interval of 64, equal to the /locate command.

Parameters:

origin - where to start looking for a biome

radius - the radius, in blocks, around which to search

biomes - the biomes to search for

Returns:

a BiomeSearchResult containing the closest Location and Biome, or null if no biome was found.

locateNearestBiome

@Nullable
@Nullable BiomeSearchResult locateNearestBiome(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location origin,
 int radius,
 int horizontalInterval,

 @NotNull
 @NotNull Biome... biomes)

Find the closest nearby location with a biome matching the provided Biome(s). Finding biomes can, and will, block if the world is looking in chunks that have not generated yet. This can lead to the world temporarily freezing while locating a biome.

Note: This will not reflect changes made to the world after generation, this method only sees the biome at the time of world generation. This will not load or generate chunks.

If multiple biomes are provided BiomeSearchResult.getBiome() will indicate which one was located. Higher values for horizontalInterval and verticalInterval will result in faster searches, but may lead to small biomes being missed.

Parameters:

origin - where to start looking for a biome

radius - the radius, in blocks, around which to search

horizontalInterval - the horizontal distance between each check

verticalInterval - the vertical distance between each check

biomes - the biomes to search for
