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.
