Massive improvements to the locator command.

About this Mod
This mod massively improves the /locate biome command by allowing it to search a 10 million+ block range at great speed. The main optimization here is that beyond the vanilla range of the command, it starts to run the same check at offset positions to cover millions of block while searching at whatever Y coordinate the player running the command is at.

Locator server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Locator – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Locator consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
