    start - the start position
    
    direction - the ray direction
    
    maxDistance - the maximum distance
    
    raySize - entity bounding boxes will be uniformly expanded (or shrinked) by this value before doing collision checks
    
    filter - only entities that fulfill this predicate are considered, or null to consider all entities
    
    Returns:
    
    the closest ray trace hit result, or null if there is no hit

    Performs a ray trace that checks for block collisions using the blocks' precise collision shapes.
    This takes collisions with passable blocks into account, but ignores fluids.
    This may cause loading of chunks! Some implementations may impose artificial restrictions on the maximum distance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the start location
    
    direction - the ray direction

                              boolean ignorePassableBlocks)
```
    Performs a ray trace that checks for block collisions using the blocks' precise collision shapes.
    If collisions with passable blocks are ignored, fluid collisions are ignored as well regardless of the fluid collision mode.
    Portal blocks are only considered passable if the ray starts within them. Apart from that collisions with portal blocks will be considered even if collisions with passable blocks are otherwise ignored.
    This may cause loading of chunks! Some implementations may impose artificial restrictions on the maximum distance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the start location
    
    direction - the ray direction
    
    maxDistance - the maximum distance
    
    fluidCollisionMode - the fluid collision mode
    
    ignorePassableBlocks - whether to ignore passable but collidable blocks (ex. tall grass, signs, fluids, ..)
    
    Returns:

                        Predicate<Entity> filter)
```
    Performs a ray trace that checks for both block and entity collisions.
    Block collisions use the blocks' precise collision shapes. The raySize parameter is only taken into account for entity collision checks.
    If collisions with passable blocks are ignored, fluid collisions are ignored as well regardless of the fluid collision mode.
    Portal blocks are only considered passable if the ray starts within them. Apart from that collisions with portal blocks will be considered even if collisions with passable blocks are otherwise ignored.
    This may cause loading of chunks! Some implementations may impose artificial restrictions on the maximum distance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the start location
    
    direction - the ray direction
    
    maxDistance - the maximum distance
    
    fluidCollisionMode - the fluid collision mode
    
    ignorePassableBlocks - whether to ignore passable but collidable blocks (ex. tall grass, signs, fluids, ..)
    
    raySize - entity bounding boxes will be uniformly expanded (or shrinked) by this value before doing collision checks
    
    filter - only entities that fulfill this predicate are considered, or null to consider all entities
    
    Returns:
    
    the closest ray trace hit result with either a block or an entity, or null if there is no hit

                                boolean findUnexplored)
```
    Find the closest nearby structure of a given StructureType. Finding unexplored structures can, and will, block if the world is looking in chunks that gave not generated yet. This can lead to the world temporarily freezing while locating an unexplored structure.
    The radius is not a rigid square radius. Each structure may alter how many chunks to check for each iteration. Do not assume that only a radius x radius chunk area will be checked. For example, StructureType.WOODLAND_MANSION can potentially check up to 20,000 blocks away (or more) regardless of the radius used.
    This will not load or generate chunks. This can also lead to instances where the server can hang if you are only looking for unexplored structures. This is because it will keep looking further and further out in order to find the structure.
    
    Parameters:
    
    origin - where to start looking for a structure
    
    structureType - the type of structure to find
    
    radius - the radius, in chunks, around which to search
    
    findUnexplored - true to only find unexplored structures
    
    Returns:
    
    the closest Location, or null if no structure of the specified type exists.
  - getViewDistance
```
int getViewDistance()
```
    Returns the view distance used for this world.
    
    Returns:
    
    the view distance used for this world

```
    Finds the nearest raid close to the given location.
    
    Parameters:
    
    location - the origin location
    
    radius - the radius
    
    Returns:
    
    the closest Raid, or null if no raids were found
  - getRaids
```
@NotNull
List<Raid> getRaids()
```
    Gets all raids that are going on over this world.
    
    Returns:
    
    the list of all active raids
