The position parameter is returned if it is inside of the collider.

This will return the original Vector3 position when using a Terrain Collider :/

[cjacobwade]

This function always returns the passed in Vector3 if the collider is disabled or the gameObject not activeInHierarchy!

This is what you get when you try to use it on MeshCollider:

Physics.ClosestPoint can only be used with a BoxCollider, SphereCollider, CapsuleCollider and a convex MeshCollider.

[laurentopia]

Concave mesh colliders need to be CoACD-ed, and when that fails, precompute SDF of the static scene and use distance check. Fun!
