Minecraft is one of the most popular games and features an enormous world for players to explore. Occasionally, they become confused when traversing the many terrains on offer, and identifying them becomes tedious. Fans with such problems can check the coordinates in the sandbox title to make navigation easier.
For those unaware, coordinates are primarily used in Minecraft to locate a specific position in the game world. They consist of three numbers separated by commas or slashes, each indicating the player's position on the X, Y, and Z axes.
Essentially, X represents the player's left and right position (east and west, i.e., longitude), Y defines the up and down position (altitude), and Z represents the player's forward and backward position (north and south, i.e., latitude).
Details on how to turn on the coordinates in the game are provided below.

Minecraft Java Edition
Finding your coordinates while playing Minecraft Java Edition isn't a lengthy procedure. The simple steps you must follow are:
Step 1: Tap on the F3 button on your keyboard to open the debug screen. If you're on MAC, you can try pressing FN + F3.
Step 2: You must then find the coordinates amongst the text. It will be written after XYZ and separated by slashes.
Usually, most individuals who play Java Edition resort to mods to show them their coordinates. This is because the entire debug screen consists of a lot of text, which can be pretty distracting.

Why are coordinates useful in Minecraft?
Coordinates can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, players can use the set of numbers to mark the location of a valuable resource or a secret base they wish to remember. They can also use the information to find their way back to a specific place after exploring a new area of the game world.
In addition to these uses, there are a plethora of additional applications for coordinates, such as teleportation and more.
