Traveling Between Known Coordinates

Planning Your Route

When you need to travel to a specific location—such as a friend's base, a nether portal, or a previously explored fortress—you can use the compass ribbon's combined coordinates and cardinal markers to navigate straight to the target.

• Compare your current coordinates shown on the ribbon with your destination's target numbers.
• Determine whether you need to increase or decrease your coordinate values to reach the goal.

Aligning Your Direction

Use the ribbon to align your path efficiently without drifting:

• If your east-west value needs to change, face either east or west using the ribbon's cardinal indicators and travel forward.
• If your north-south value needs to adjust, turn toward north or south and continue moving until the corresponding coordinate matches your target.
• Keep an eye on the numbers on your ribbon as you run; as the numbers approach the target figures, slow down and scan the immediate landscape for your destination.
• By tracking both the direction and the numbers simultaneously, you can follow direct pathways even over rough terrain or across open oceans.
