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

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 be eaten even when the hunger bar is full, and eating it may teleport the [[player]] up to 8 blocks in any direction. == Obtaining == {{see also|Tutorials/Chorus fruit farming}} Chorus fruit can be obtained by breaking [[Chorus Plant (block)|chorus plant blocks]]. Each block of chorus plant has a 50% chance to drop a chorus fruit. This is not affected by [[Fortune]].<ref>{{bug|MC-198924||Chorus Fruit doesn't have a higher chance with Fortune|Invalid}}</ref> == Usage == To eat chorus fruit, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 2.4 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Unlike most foods, chorus fruits can be eaten even when the player has a full hunger bar. The player may also be [[teleportation|teleported]]: up to 16 attempts are made to choose a random destination within ±8 on all three axes in the same manner as [[Enderman#Teleportation|enderman teleportation]], with the exception that the player may teleport into an area only 2 blocks high, or one block tall if the player is crawling. The player does not land in the average centroid of the block, but rather to any position within an 8-block range. The player will be teleported directly down to the ground regardless of the height it was used at if the player is too far from a valid destination. The chorus fruit, unlike an [[Ender Pearl|ender pearl]], can teleport the player through [[solid block]]s. The algorithm tries to avoid [[fluid]]s; the player cannot teleport into a space occupied by [[water]] or [[lava]]. However, the player can be teleported onto dangerous blocks such as fire, cacti and magma blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-102836||Enderman and chorus fruit can teleport to some dangerous places}}</ref> If a teleport succeeds, a sound similar to an enderman teleporting plays originating from the teleportation origin location. Chorus fruit has a cooldown of 1 second before being able to be used again. The cooldown is represented by a white overlay on the chorus fruit in the hotbar. The cooldown is applied to all chorus fruits items, including those in the player's inventory and containers.<ref>{{bug|MC-88236|||WAI}}</ref> Eating chorus fruit may teleport the player into areas protected by [[bedrock]], [[barrier|barrier blocks]], or other blocks that are otherwise unbreakable in [[Survival]] mode. However, it cannot teleport the player onto [[the Nether]] roof.<ref>{{bug|MC-84198|||Fixed}}</ref> Chorus fruit is completely non-functional above the nether roof. [[Fox]]es can also eat chorus fruit and the teleportation effect works the same as with players. === Smelting ingredient === {{smelting |Chorus Fruit |Popped Chorus Fruit |0.1}} == Sounds == ===Generic=== {{Sound table/Entity/Food}} ===Unique=== {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |rowspan=2 |sound=Teleport1.ogg |sound2=Teleport2.ogg |subtitle=Player teleports |source=player |description=When a player teleports by eating a chorus fruit |id=item.chorus_fruit.teleport |translationkey=subtitles.item.chorus_fruit.teleport |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |subtitle=Fox teleports |source=Players & Friendly Creatures<wbr><ref group=sound>{{Bug|MC-257516||"Fox teleports" sound plays for both Players and Friendly Creatures sound categories}}</ref>|overridesource=1 |description=When a fox teleports by eating a chorus fruit |id=entity.fox.teleport |translationkey=subtitles.entity.fox.teleport |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Teleport1.ogg |sound2=Teleport2.ogg |source=hostile |description=When something teleports by eating a chorus fruit |id=mob.shulker.teleport |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |foot=1}} ==Data values == ===ID=== {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Chorus Fruit |spritetype=item |nameid=chorus_fruit |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Chorus Fruit |spritetype=item |nameid=chorus_fruit |id=558 |form=item |foot=1}} ==Advancements== {{load advancements|Husbandry;A Balanced Diet}} ==History== {{History|java}} {{History||1.9|snap=15w31a|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added chorus fruit.}} {{History|||snap=15w34c|A cooldown for using chorus fruit has now been added.}} {{History|||snap=15w37a|The chorus fruit's teleportation range has now been reduced from ±32 to ±8.}} {{History|||snap=15w50a|Added a [[sound]] for chorus fruit: <code>item.chorus_fruit.teleport</code>.}} {{History||1.10|snap=16w21a|Chorus fruit can now teleport riders off their mounts.}} {{History||1.13|snap=17w47a|Prior to [[1.13/Flattening|''The Flattening'']], this [[item]]'s numeral ID was 432.}} {{History||1.14|snap=18w43a|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE2 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of chorus fruit has now been changed.}} {{History||1.20.2|snap=23w33a|Eating chorus fruit now resets fall distance.<ref>{{bug|MC-112133||Eating chorus fruit does not reset fall distance|Fixed}}</ref>}} {{History|pocket}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=alpha 0.17.0.1|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added chorus fruit.}} {{History|||snap=alpha 1.0.0.1|The cooldown of chorus fruit now has an animation.}} {{History|bedrock}} {{History||1.7.0|snap=beta 1.7.0.2|The category that chorus fruit are apart of in the [[Creative inventory]] has been changed from "Nature" to "Items".}} {{History||1.10.0|snap=beta 1.10.0.3|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE2 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of chorus fruit has now been changed.}} {{History||1.13.0|snap=beta 1.13.0.15|Chorus fruit has been moved back to the "Nature" section in the Creative inventory.}} {{History|console}} {{History||xbox=TU46|xbone=CU36|switch=1.0.1|ps=1.38|wiiu=Patch 15|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added chorus fruit.}} {{History||xbox=none|xbone=none|ps=1.90|wiiu=none|switch=none|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE2 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of chorus fruit has now been changed.}} {{History|new 3ds}} {{History||1.7.10|[[File:Chorus Fruit JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added chorus fruit.}} {{History|foot}} ==Issues== {{issue list}} ==References== {{reflist}} ==External Links== *[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/taking-inventory--chorus-fruit Taking Inventory: Chorus Fruit] – Minecraft.net on November 5, 2020 {{Items}} [[Category:Plants]] [[Category:Food]] [[Category:Renewable resources]] [[de:Chorusfrucht]] [[es:Fruta chorus]] [[fr:Chorus]] [[ja:コーラスフルーツ]] [[ko:후렴과]] [[nl:Chorusfruit]] [[pl:Owoc refrenusu]] [[pt:Fruta do coro]] [[ru:Плод коруса]] [[uk:Фрукт хорусу]] [[zh:紫颂果]]</li><li>[[Scute|Scute]]<br/>{{about|the item used to craft turtle shell helmets|the helmet|Turtle Shell}} {{Item | image = Scute.png | renewable = Yes | stackable = Yes (64) |title=Turtle scute}} '''Turtle Scutes''' are [[item]]s that baby [[turtle]]s drop when they grow into adults.
