Frequently asked questions

How do I start using Biome Spy after installing it?

You don't need to do anything — the mod works automatically the moment it's loaded. Just use /locate or your Nature Compass as you normally would, and the searches will already be faster.

Does Biome Spy change how /locate works or just make it faster?

It only changes how the game searches for biomes and structures behind the scenes, so the command syntax and results stay the same. You still type /locate biome or /locate structure the same way.

Why is my /locate command still slow?

Make sure the mod is actually loaded on the world you're playing — it must be installed on the server or in your singleplayer instance, not just the client. If you're on a multiplayer server, the server needs the mod for the speedup to apply.

Does Biome Spy work with modded biomes like TerraBlender or AlexsCaves?

Yes, it supports custom biomes from mods such as TerraBlender and AlexsCaves. You can /locate those biomes just like vanilla ones and still get the speed benefit.
