Customizing Coordinate Templates for Chat and Clipboard

Configuring Message Output Templates

The mod allows you to instantly share your location or copy it outside the game using dedicated keybinds. You can format the generated text by accessing Text Settings in the configuration menu:

  • Coordinates Chat Message: Define the string sent directly into multiplayer chat whenever the assigned chat broadcast keybind is pressed. The default format outputs {x} {y} {z}.
  • Copy Position Message: Define the string copied to your operating system clipboard when pressing the copy keybind. The default format copies {x}, {y}, {z}.

Using Dynamic Text Variables

When building your custom message templates, you can insert dynamic variables that automatically resolve to your current game state:

  • {x}, {y}, and {z}: Insert your player's exact spatial coordinates.
  • {dimension}: Replaces the tag with your active dimension (such as Overworld, Nether, or The End).
  • {direction}: Displays the direction your player is currently facing.
  • {name}: Inserts your in-game player name.

For example, you can construct a chat template such as {name} at {x} {y} {z} in {dimension} to provide complete context to other players on your server with a single keystroke.
