BiomeSearch
BiomeSearch
This plugin allows you to find the nearest occurrence of a specified biome and teleport to it if you wish.
Commands
/setrange (Set Search Radius)
Usage: /setrange radius
Examples:
- /setrange 1500 would set the search radius to 1500 blocks.
Permissions:
- biomesearch.setrange
Notes: Default range is 1000 blocks. This is adequate for most searches on land. To find a mushroom island, or other rare biomes, you may need to increase this value up to 7500 or higher. DO NOT set this value to something extremely large (>10,000ish). If you do so, your server can crash. When changing the range, do so in increments, to be sure that you won't crash your server with too high of a value.
/biometp (Teleport to Biome)
Usage: /biometp [player] biome
Examples:
- /biometp jungle would teleport you to the nearest jungle.
- /biometp user42 mushroom_island would teleport user42 to the mushroom island biome nearest to them.
Permissions:
- biomesearch.tp
- biomesearch.tp.others
Notes: Upon failure to find a biome, the command will list the biomes it found in the search radius.
/biomesearch (Search for Biome)
Usage: /biomesearch biome
Examples:
- /biomesearch jungle would tell you the coordinates of the nearest jungle.
Permissions:
- biomesearch.search
Notes: Upon failure to find a biome, the command will list the biomes it found in the search radius.
To Do
- Make WorldEdit a soft dependency
- Implement infinite radius searches
- Document code
- Use Java 6
- Change checking algorithm to ensure that server does not crash/give errors
Could you add a 'not' search? For instance:
'/biometp not ocean'
Would teleport you to the closest biome that is not an ocean.
@panibrat
The biomes recognized are the same biomes that are part of minecraft 1.6.2:
For example, "Frost Forest" is not a biome - you probably mean "Taiga". In the next release, there will be a command to list all of the biomes you can search for.
can't find any biome with spaces in name like "Frost Forest", "Canyon Ravine" and s.o.

Well there are a few possible issues:
If none of those seem to be the problem, please let me know exactly what command statement you are typing, and I'll be happy to help.
P.S. I do apologize for my extremely slow response. I assure the Bukkit community that I am working on this plugin as much as my schedule will permit.
Doesn't work, what am i doing wrong?
@LegozandParatroopaz Thanks! I am glad to hear that someone besides myself will find this useful!
The first alpha version should be up this week.
Okay... THAT is gonna be awesome, especially for finding mushroom islands and biomes. :D
