To enable coordinates on your Minecraft server

For Java Edition (Survival Mode)

Step 1 – Enable Cheats (if necessary)

• Open server.properties in your server folder.
• Set enable-command-block=true if using command blocks.
• Save and restart the server.

Step 2 – Use the /gamerule Command

Run:

/gamerule reducedDebugInfo false

This ensures the full debug screen (F3) shows coordinates.

Step 3 – Press F3

Open the debug screen to see coordinates.

For Bedrock Edition (Survival/Multiplayer Servers)

Step 1 – Enable Coordinates in Game Settings

• Open server.properties.
• Look for allow-cheats=true (optional).

Step 2 – Use the /gamerule showcoordinates true Command

In the game, type:

/gamerule showcoordinates true

This will display coordinates for all players.

For Java Edition (Custom Plugins or Mods)

• If using EssentialsX or similar plugins, configure /coords commands.
• Mods like Xaero’s Minimap or JourneyMap provide coordinate displays.
