Coordinates

X, Y and Z coordinate on a Minecraft map.

X and Z axes with directions shown, from a birds-eye view. Red highlights where these axes are different than standard.

Coordinates numerically represent a player's location in a dimension.

Coordinate system

Coordinates are based on a grid where three lines or axes intersect at the origin point.

• The x-axis indicates the player's distance east (positive) or west (negative) of the origin point—i.e., the longitude,
• The z-axis indicates the player's distance south (positive) or north (negative) of the origin point—i.e., the latitude,
• The y-axis indicates how high or low (from 0 to 255, with 64 being sea level) the player is—i.e., the elevation,
• The unit length of the three axes equal the side of one block. And, in terms of real-world measurement, one block equals 1 cubic meter.

Block position

The position of a block is actually the coordinates of the point at the lower northwest corner of the block, that is, the integer coordinates obtained by rounding down the coordinates inside the block.

In Minecraft, decimal coordinates usually needs to be converted into integer coordinates by rounding down, which is called the block position of the coordinate.

Displaying coordinates

Screenshot showing the debug information, with coordinates XYZ, Facing, and Block position.

The block position of player shown in Bedrock Edition.

In Java Edition, pressing F3 (or Fn + F3 on Macs and some laptops or Alt + Fn + F3 on newer Macs) brings up a debug screen which gives the player's current coordinates in the upper left part of the screen.

In Bedrock Edition, the block position of player can be displayed by changing the world options. The coordinates are displayed in a box in the top left, if the "Show Coordinates" option is turned on in the game settings screen or /gamerule showcoordinates true is used.

Interpreting coordinates

The origin point marks the zero point for the x and z coordinates. Hence, it may be thought of as the 0,0 coordinate:

• X-axis = 0
• Z-axis = 0

As the player travels south, the z-axis number increases; travel north and it decreases. Similarly, the x-axis number increases as the player travels east and decreases as you travel west.

As the player's elevation rises, the y-axis number increases, and as the player's elevation lowers, that number decreases.

The Y coordinate works a bit differently than the x and z coordinates in terms of spawning. Typically, the player does not spawn at y-coordinate 0. Instead, Y=63 is the Overworld water sea level, Y=31 is the Nether lava sea, and Y=11 is the overworld lava flood sea. To clarify: The sea level is 63, 11, or 31, which refers to the block position of top water/lava is 62, 10, or 30.

The player's coordinates are actually the coordinates of the center at the bottom of player's collision box. When the display shows you are at Y=63, then the player's feet are at Y=63, and the player's eyes are at 64.62.

Coordinate usage

Coordinates may be put to a variety of uses.

Once players establish bases, they can note their coordinates before going exploring. Then if they get lost or respawn, they can find their way back to their bases by referring to those coordinates.

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

Display of coordinates can be disabled using the command /gamerule reducedDebugInfo true:

For Bedrock Edition, /gamerule showcoordinates true applies.

A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s. == Obtaining == === Breaking === Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}} A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref> If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation. === Natural generation === An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair. === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}} === Crafting === [[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs. {{Crafting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |nolink=1 |A1= Matching Planks |B1= Matching Planks |C1= Matching Planks |A2= Matching Planks |B2= Matching Planks |C2= Matching Planks |B3= Stick |Output=Matching Sign,3 |type=Decoration block }} {{Crafting |name= Hanging Sign |A1= Chain |C1= Chain |A2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |B2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |C2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |A3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |B3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |C3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |Output= Matching Hanging Sign,6; Bamboo Hanging Sign,6 |type=Decoration block |foot=1 }} == Usage == Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids. === Placement === ==== Signs ==== Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign. Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign. Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother. For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]]. ==== Hanging signs ==== Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways: * Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions. * Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block. ** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions. ** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions. === Text === [[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]] Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters. Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front. Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited. After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}} [[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]] A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+ class="nowrap" | Glow ink colors !Name !! Main Color !!

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this. {{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks. {{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs. : Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}} Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command. === Interaction === Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}. Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}} Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}). === Fuel === Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign. === Note Blocks === Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds. == Sounds == === Generic === ====

It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted. A [[piglin brute]] spawns with a golden axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. Also, {{in|java}}, [[Zombified Piglin|zombified piglins]] can drop their golden axe (with the same chance as piglin brute drop) if they have been zombified from a [[Piglin Brute|piglin brute.]] ====Raids==== {{IN|be}}, [[Vindicator]] and [[pillager]]s that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops. ===Trading=== Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith|Toolsmith]] [[villager]]s have a 25% chance to sell a stone axe for one [[emerald]], journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for eight emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 13 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}} Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone axe for one emerald, journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}} Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith|Weaponsmith]] [[villager]]s sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds as one of their trades, and master-level Weaponsmith villagers sell an enchanted diamond axe for 12 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}} Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds.

An axe uses 1 durability to break 1 block. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability. ====Durability==== Each tier of axe has a different durability: {| class="wikitable sortable" !

This consumes one point of durability from the axe. ===Weapon=== An axe loses 2 points of durability when used as a weapon. ==== Bedrock Edition ==== {{IN|bedrock}}, axes always attack instantly and deal {{hp|1}} less damage than a [[sword]] of the same quality but it lowers the durability of armor and shields faster than any other tool in-game. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Bedrock damage" !
