The Minetest 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.
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.
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
You can view your current position in the debug screen (open with F5). This is considered cheating in some games.
