Read Distance and Coordinates from the Compass Display

Understanding the On-Screen Information

When you hold the Explorer's Compass, it displays real-time data about your target structure. Learning to read this information helps you navigate accurately.

What the Display Shows

1. Structure Name: The type of building you're searching for appears at the top

2. Distance: The number of blocks between you and the target structure

3. Coordinates: The exact X, Y, Z position of the structure in your world

4. Direction Indicator: The compass needle points toward the target

Using This Information

• Watch the distance number decrease as you move closer to the structure
• Use the coordinates to mark waypoints in your map or journal
• If the distance stops decreasing, check the compass direction—you may have veered off course
• The coordinates remain visible as long as you hold the compass, allowing you to plan your route before traveling
• Write down coordinates of interesting structures you find for later visits
