Coordinates are the only reliable way to track player locations in Minecraft. There are three different coordinates: X (longitude), Y (latitude), and Z (elevation). Coordinates help locate bases, friends, and specific biomes
Coordinates can be viewed by pressing F3 (or Fn+F3 on Mac). Coordinates appear in red boxed section. "Block" section rounds coordinates to nearest whole number
Altitude is vertical distance measured along Y-axis. Lowest block placement is at layer -64 with Y-coordinate -64. F3 key shows Y-coordinate of current block's top face
Killing character and respawning at house works if last bed was used. Using compass helps track house from initial spawn point. Teleporting to safe location may help find house near other players
Enter coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds format. Latitude is first number before comma, longitude second. Tools provide map visualization and search functionality
Coordinates appear at the top of the map when opened. Coordinates consist of X (longitude), Y (elevation), and Z (latitude). Starting block is usually X,Z:0,0, sea level is Y:63. Coordinates change in real-time as you move
