Coordinates (XYZ) are essential in Minecraft for navigation, locating builds, and sharing exact positions with other players. How you view coordinates depends on whether you're playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition or Minecraft Java Edition.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition: How to Enable Coordinates

Minecraft Bedrock Edition does not include the Java debug screen, but you can display coordinates by enabling a gamerule.

To show coordinates, enable the showcoordinates gamerule:

Server console: gamerule showcoordinates true
In‑game (Operator required): /gamerule showcoordinates true

After enabling the gamerule, your current XYZ coordinates appear on-screen at all times.

Minecraft Java Edition: How to View Coordinates

Minecraft Java Edition includes a built‑in debug screen that displays your position.

Press F3 to open the debug screen.
In the top‑left section, look for XYZ:, which shows your exact coordinates.

This method works in all modern Java Edition versions and requires no commands or settings changes.
