Minecraft – Why does the /locate command in minecraft not work

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I am using Minecraft Java, 20w19a, a snapshot of the new 1.16 update. Whenever I type in /locate Pillager_Outpost or /locate Mansion, nothing happens. No text appears anywhere, nothing about finding the structure. I typed /locate multiple times, using random structures that I knew should generate. However, each time, nothing came to the chat box. I also tried updating to 1.16 Pre-Release2

Sometimes /locate can take a while to return a result, especially if your structure is a while away. Be patient, and if it doesn't return anything after about a minute or so, there may be a different problem.

The longest it took for me to get a result is about 10 seconds.

If a structure is not found, it should return red text, Could not find that structure nearby. If you are not getting any output, it could be a different problem.

As of today, the current Minecraft version is 1.16-pre2. Consider updating, and this bug may have been fixedl
