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.

/loc  
Aliases: '/getpos'

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 denotes horizontal position in the east-west direction, the Y value denotes vertical position (altitude), and the Z value denotes horizontal position in the north-south direction. More information may be found on the Coordinates page.
  • The numerical values returned represent units of in-game feet.
  • Alternately, and perhaps easier, instead of a slash (/) prefix use a dollar sign ($) and your location will be automatically sent through chat. For example, $loc. This new chat variable debuted in Issue 27, Page 2.
