How to enable coordinates on your Minecraft server

Coordinates work differently depending on the Minecraft edition you are running. Bedrock Edition has a server gamerule for coordinates, while Java Edition players normally use the F3 debug screen.

If you need OP to perform these commands, follow this guide: How to OP or de-op a player on your Minecraft server.

 

Enable Coordinates On Bedrock

  1. Start the server, then open Console in the control panel.
  2. Run:
    gamerule showcoordinates true
  3. Join the server and check that coordinates are shown in game.

If you are running the command in game instead, you need to be OP and use a slash:

/gamerule showcoordinates true

Java Edition

On Java Edition, players usually press F3 in game to view coordinates. If the debug screen is reduced, make sure reducedDebugInfo is disabled:

/gamerule reducedDebugInfo false
