start - the start location

direction - the ray direction

maxDistance - the maximum distance

fluidCollisionMode - the fluid collision mode

ignorePassableBlocks - whether to ignore passable but collidable blocks (ex. tall grass, signs, fluids, ..)

Returns:

the ray trace hit result, or null if there is no hit

rayTrace

@Nullable
@Nullable RayTraceResult rayTrace(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location start,
 @NotNull
 @NotNull Vector direction,
 double maxDistance,
 @NotNull
 @NotNull FluidCollisionMode fluidCollisionMode,
 boolean ignorePassableBlocks,
 double raySize,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Predicate<Entity> filter)

Performs a ray trace that checks for both block and entity collisions.

Block collisions use the blocks' precise collision shapes. The raySize parameter is only taken into account for entity collision checks.

If collisions with passable blocks are ignored, fluid collisions are ignored as well regardless of the fluid collision mode.

Portal blocks are only considered passable if the ray starts within them. Apart from that collisions with portal blocks will be considered even if collisions with passable blocks are otherwise ignored.

This may cause loading of chunks! Some implementations may impose artificial restrictions on the maximum distance.

Parameters:

start - the start location

direction - the ray direction

maxDistance - the maximum distance

fluidCollisionMode - the fluid collision mode

ignorePassableBlocks - whether to ignore passable but collidable blocks (ex. tall grass, signs, fluids, ..)

raySize - entity bounding boxes will be uniformly expanded (or shrinked) by this value before doing collision checks

filter - only entities that fulfill this predicate are considered, or null to consider all entities

Returns:

the closest ray trace hit result with either a block or an entity, or null if there is no hit

locateNearestStructure

@Nullable
@Nullable Location locateNearestStructure(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location origin,
 @NotNull
 @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 gave 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.

Returns:

Location of biome or null if not found in specified radius

locateNearestBiome

@Nullable
@Nullable Location locateNearestBiome(@NotNull
 @NotNull Location origin,
 @NotNull

 int radius,
 int step)

Locates the nearest biome based on an origin, biome type, and radius to search and step

Parameters:
