Then, remember that 90 degrees clockwise from west is north. The sun, clouds, and moon always move from east to west. If you don't know what direction is north, look up at the sky.

In a right triangle with side lengths 7 and 4, the small angle is 29.7°, which is sufficiently close to 30° for our purposes.įeel free to use different colors, but you can use these if they're easy to remember: These distances of 7 and 4 work well due to trigonometry. Place them exactly 4 blocks to the sides each of the four compass markers. Use eight more blocks of dirt to split the compass into 30° intervals. Place the colored blocks of wool on top to help distinguish them. The north, south, east, and west markers are each 7 blocks away from the center. Lay out a grid of dirt blocks (or other generic block) as shown below. The easiest location to do this is probably the plains or desert biomes, but all you need is a flat open space of 15 x 15 blocks. Instead, we will estimate the direction by creating a "ground compass." By standing in the middle of this compass, we can find out where the Eye of Ender is headed. However, if you're using the Bedrock edition, the debugging screen is not available. If you're using the Java version of Minecraft, you can find the direction you are facing using the debug screen by pressing F3, which means you can skip straight to Step 3. 4 different colored blocks with 2 blocks each (we are using red, white, black, and yellow wool).To complete this tutorial, you will need: Since in Minecraft we count clockwise from south, an angle of -90 means you are facing due east, and an angle of 0 means you are facing south. The first number is the azimuthal angle, which is the direction you are facing in the horizontal plane. You will see two numbers in brackets, such as (-90, 24). In Java versions of Minecraft, you have an see the direction your player is facing using the debug screen, which you can access by pressing F3 on some systems. In Minecraft, the direction you are facing is represented in degrees, measured clockwise from south. The world origin and spawn point are located at the X, Z coordinates of 0, 0. This might seem a bit unusual as we often associate positive values with north. The Z-axis runs south to north, with positive Z being in the south direction.The Y-axis runs above to below, with Y increasing towards the sky, and the bedrock layer being at Y=0 and.


The X-axis runs from east to west, with positive X being in the east direction.These are the player's positions along the X, Y, and Z axes: In Minecraft, a player's location is represented by three numbers X, Y, and Z.
