1.16.1, Get a block position in the world

[Shte_Ken]

Hello, I wanted to know if there's a way to get a specific block position in the world. For exemple getting the coordinates of the closest End frame or the closest Ancient Debris.

Thank you.

End portals are special and can be located via the same code that ender eyes use.

But in a more generic sense, no, there is no built-in method of locating the nearest block. As the only way to do that would be to literally examine 30,000,000,000 blocks one by one.

 

The reason you can locate end portal frames is because those generate naturally, there are only three strong holds, and the game knows where those three strong holds are.
