      Performs a ray trace that checks for block collisions using the blocks' precise collision shapes.

      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.

      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.

    • locateNearestStructure

      @Nullable @Deprecated @Nullable Location 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 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.

      @Nullable @Nullable StructureSearchResult 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.

      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
