The X value corresponds to the East-West position of the entity, the Z value corresponds to altitude or Up-Down position of the entity, and the Y value corresponds to its North-South position. Larger values of Y are further to the South, larger values of Z increase altitude, and larger values of X are further to the West. Note that, for X & Y, this may be the reverse of what is intuitive for many.

Slash Command

/loc  

Returns the player's current map location (in-game coordinates) as X Y Z values.

The coordinates are returned as a clickable thumbtack link that can be copy/pasted into any chat channel as a means of easily sharing location information.

The X value corresponds to East-West position, the Y value corresponds to altitude or Up-Down position, and the Z value corresponds to North-South position. Values of X are more positive to the West, values of Y are more positive while traveling upwards, and values of Z are more positive to the South. Note that, for X & Z, the direction of positive coordinate increase may be the reverse of what is intuitive compared to real-world coordinate applications.

The numerical values returned represent units of in-game feet.
