-The [[Luanti]] world is a large cube. And because of this, a position in the world can be easily expressed with Cartesian '''coordinates'''. That is, for each position in the world, there are 3 values X, Y and Z.
-== Notation ==
-Coordinates are expressed like this: (5, 45, -12)
-This refers to the position where X=5, Y=45 and Z=-12. The 3 letters are called “axes”: Y is for the height. X and Z are for the horizontal position.
-== Orientation ==
-The values for X, Y and Z work like this:
-* If you go up, Y increases
-* If you go down, Y decreases
-* If you follow the sun, X increases
-* If you go to the reverse direction, X decreases
-* Look to the sun's direction, then turn 90° to the right and go forwards: Z increases
-* Look to the sun's direction, then turn 90° to the left and go forwards: Z decreases
-* The side length of a full cube is 1
-== Finding your coordinates ==
-=== Debug screen ===
-You usually can view your coordinates by using the [[debug]] screen (open with <kbd>F5</kbd>).
-For this to work, the game/server needs to allow this ''or'' you have the “debug” [[Privileges|privilege]].
-By default, games ''do'' allow you to access the coordinates in the debug screen, so this works most of the time.
-Some games might choose to hide the coordinates from the debug screen to regular players. Maybe you’re suppoed to “earn” the right to see the coordinates (e.g. with a special item), or maybe the coordinates are hidden completely to make the game more difficult. But, if you have the “debug” privilege, you are guaranteed to have access.
-=== Mods ===
-There are also mods which add tools which, when you carry then, show you the coordinates:
