How Coordinates Work in Minecraft

When you enter coordinates in Minecraft, you need to provide three variables: X, Y, and Z:

• X : The X coordinate represents longitude. As the player moves east, the value of X increases. As the player moves west, the value of X decreases.
• Y : The Y coordinate represents elevation. As the player moves up, the value of Y increases. As the player moves down, the value of Y decreases.
• Z : The Z coordinate represents latitude. As the player moves south, the value of Z increases. As the player moves north, the value of Z decreases.

One unit represents one block. The sea level for the overworld is 62Y, and the lava “sea” level is 11Y. In the Nether, the lava “sea” level is 31Y.

To display your current coordinates in the Java Edition, enter**/tp ~~~** . In Bedrock Edition, enableShow Coordinates in the world settings.

How to Teleport to Coordinates in Minecraft

To teleport any player or object to a specific set of coordinates, you just need to provide the X, Y, and Z coordinates. For example:

/tp PluckyChart7166 150 64 250

The above command teleports the player PluckyChart7166 to the coordinates 150X, 64Y, 250Z.

Teleport to a Relative Set of Coordinates

To teleport an object to a location relative to its current position, add atilde (~ ) to the coordinates. For example:

/tp PluckyChart7166 ~150 ~ 64 ~250

Teleport to Another Object

It’s also possible to teleport directly to another player or object. For example:

/tp PluckyChart7166 Rob4Lifewire

The above command teleports the player PluckyChart7166 to the player Rob4Lifewire.
