Coordinates

Coordinates numerically represent a Player's location in a Minecraft world. They are based on a grid where three lines or axes intersect at the origin point. Players initially spawn within a couple hundred blocks of the origin point.
== Usage ==
*The x-axis indicates the player's distance east (positive) or west (negative) of the origin point—e.x., the longitude
*The z-axis indicates the player's distance south (positive) or north (negative) of the origin point—e.x., the latitude
*The y-axis indicates how high or low (from 0 to 255, with 64 being sea level) the player is—e.x., the elevation
To remember which axis is which, one may use the Right-hand rule - middle-finger points at x-axis, thumb points at y-axis, index-finger points at z-axis.
