/locate players on multiplayer

There is someone you want to get to but you don`t know where they are so you type /locate playername!

    I agree but it will be more helpful if it was:

    /locateentity <player-name | target-selector>

    Currently, (on Bedrock,) this is the most reliable way, yet can also cause a player to die (due to stopping horizontal as well as vertical momentum, including if jumping over a large gap):

    /execute <target> ~ ~ ~ tp ~ ~ ~

    I really like this idea! it would make that much easier. This can be done currently, however, by using /data get entity PLAYERNAME Pos, which outputs something similar to the following:

    PLAYERNAME has the following data: [xd,yd,zd]

    This command would make this process much more streamlined.

    I do suggest not using /locate, as this is used for structures and not entities, so a different command would make more sense.

    I love this idea, and i feel like we need a /locate for biomes and the rest of the structures in minecraft!

    FlamingCactus, I knew that /locate was for structures, my point was it should also be for entitys.

    Also MazeRunar, I want this to be a survival command not like teleporting, it's getting the position.

    The command is pretty useless as you can see the player's position in his NBT

    It may not make sense for the average user, but it would be a huge help for map development. You could measure the distance to another entity way easier with that command.
