Coordinates

By pressing F3 you can view your current location in the minecraft world represented by the X, Y, Z, and F coordinates at the top left of the screen.


 * Your X-Axis is how far south (or north in the case of a negative number) of zero you are.


 * Your Y-Axis represents your elevation. Y 64 is sea level for example.


 * Your Z-Axis is how far west (or east in the case of a negative number) of zero you are.

F is a new coordinate and represent which direction you are currently facing.
 * F0 is West
 * F1 is North
 * F2 is East
 * F3 is South.

Coordinates are often used when seed sharing to give directions on where to go to find things.
