To show coordinates in Minecraft Java Edition, you need to open the debug screen by pressing F3 on your keyboard (or Fn + F3 on some laptops and Macs). This will display a lot of information in the top left corner of your screen, including your current coordinates labeled as X , Y , and Z :
- X is your east/west position.
- Y is your vertical height.
- Z is your north/south position.
If you press F3 and do not see the coordinates, you likely have the "Reduced Debug Info" option enabled. To fix this:
- Pause the game and go to Options.
- Select Chat Settings.
- Make sure Reduced Debug Info is turned off.
- Return to the game and press F3 (or Fn + F3) again to see your coordinates
This method works in single-player and on servers. Unlike Bedrock Edition, Java Edition does not have a simple toggle to always show coordinates on screen without the debug menu, but you can use mods or datapacks if you want a persistent HUD display of coordinates
. In summary:
- Press F3 or Fn + F3 to open the debug screen.
- Ensure "Reduced Debug Info" is off in chat settings.
- Coordinates will appear on the left side as X, Y, Z values.
This is the standard and easiest way to show coordinates in Minecraft Java Edition.
