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.

It can only be placed on [[obsidian]] or [[bedrock]] and [[Explosion|explodes]] instantly when attacked or damaged in most ways. == Spawning == === Natural generation === An end crystal is found atop each [[obsidian pillar]] on the central island of the End, each on top of a piece of [[bedrock]]. There are 10 end crystals in total, of which two are protected in "cages" of [[iron bars]]. All end crystals respawn one after another as the respawning process of the [[ender dragon]] starts. == Obtaining == === Crafting === {{Crafting |A1=Glass |B1=Glass |C1=Glass |A2=Glass |B2=Eye of Ender |C2=Glass |A3=Glass |B3=Ghast Tear |C3=Glass |Output= End Crystal |type= Decoration block }} == Usage == === Healing the ender dragon === Their primary purpose is to recharge the health of the ender dragon, who gains a charge from the nearest crystal within a cuboid extending 32 blocks from the dragon in all directions. The dragon is healed {{hp|1}} each half-second. If multiple ender dragons are spawned, an end crystal can affect multiple dragons at the same time. The healing beam is neither obstructed nor is its power diminished by entities or blocks. === Respawning the ender dragon === [[File:End Crystals on the Exit portal.png|right|thumb|How to arrange end crystals on the exit portal to respawn the ender dragon.]] As items, end crystals may be placed on bedrock and [[obsidian]], if the two blocks above the bedrock or obsidian block are air or replaceable blocks and no other entities intersect the area. When an end crystal is placed in [[the End]], a [[fire]] block is created at the end crystal location. If four are placed on the end [[exit portal]], one on each of the flat sides, the crystals respawn the original end crystals on the obsidian pillars, as well as resurrect the dragon itself, before exploding. The top of each pillar also explodes, destroying any player-placed blocks. This happens even if TNT explosions are turned off in settings. If the exit portal is ever broken for any reason, end crystals can still be placed on obsidian blocks with the same location as the exit portal. === Explosions === End crystals explode when attacked or damaged in most ways, even by attacks that normally do zero damage. They are not affected by exploding fireworks, and if damaged by an explosion, they disappear instead of exploding.{{Only|Java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-118429||End crystals don't explode when destroyed by nearby explosions}}</ref> The end crystal's [[explosion]] has an [[Explosion#Explosion strength|explosion strength]] of 6, the same as a [[charged creeper]]. The end crystal's fire often remains after the crystal explodes. Any ender dragon charging from the crystal when it is destroyed takes {{hp|10}} damage. {{IN|java}}, an end crystal's explosion can be [[blocking|blocked]] by a [[shield]]. Although an ender dragon damages most blocks and entities in its path, it cannot destroy end crystals simply by going near them. Placing [[water]] on the end crystal will neutralize the blast effect, but not the [[damage]] or knockback. End crystals with obsidian or bedrock below them will not damage blocks below them when they explode. {{IN|bedrock}}, having the game rule {{cd|mobGriefing}} to {{cd|false}} will prevent the End Crystal from destroying any blocks. While {{in|java}} the same game rule will not prevent the End Crystal from destroying any blocks. === Beams === The end crystal naturally shoots a beam at the ender dragon and heals it when the dragon is within range. This beam can be manually created using the command {{cmd|data merge entity @e[type{{=}}end_crystal,limit{{=}}1] {BeamTarget:{X:0, Y:0, Z:0<nowiki>}}}}. The beam can be pointed in any direction, allowing it to mark locations or objects. === Properties === [[File:End Crystal (Slateless).gif|thumb|A base-less end crystal.]] End crystals are of two kinds: the ones with a base beneath them are created either by game mechanism or by the {{cmd|summon}} command; while the base-less ones are created by players by manually placing the crystal items on top of [[obsidian]] or [[bedrock]]. The base appears to be made of bedrock, with a crystal hovering over it. While in the End, a crystal continually generates fire at its current position, one block above the base (directly on top of the block the base is embedded in), replacing any other block at that location. This fire is capable of spreading. The end crystal entity is not solid and can be walked through freely. End crystals can be pushed by [[piston]]s, but they explode if moved while on fire. Because fire is checked only when an entity moves, end crystals do not normally take damage from their own fire unless moved. == Sounds == {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Explosion1.ogg |sound2=Explosion2.ogg |sound3=Explosion3.ogg |sound4=Explosion4.ogg |subtitle=Explosion |source=block |description=When an end crystal explodes |id=entity.generic.explode |translationkey=subtitles.entity.generic.explode |volume=4.0 |pitch=0.56-0.84 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Explosion1.ogg |sound2=Explosion2.ogg |sound3=Explosion3.ogg |sound4=Explosion4.ogg |source=block |description=When an end crystal explodes |id=random.explode |volume=4.0 |pitch=1.0 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Item |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=End Crystal |spritetype=item |nameid=end_crystal |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Entity |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=End Crystal |spritetype=entity |nameid=end_crystal |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Item |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=End Crystal |spritetype=item |nameid=end_crystal |id=637 |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Entity |shownumericids=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=End Crystal |spritetype=entity |nameid=ender_crystal |id=71 |foot=1}} === Entity data === End crystals have entity data that define various properties of the entity. {{el|java}}: {{main|Entity format}} {{/ED}} {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Entity format]]. == Achievements == {{load achievements|The End...
