You can also show coordinates on the console and pocket editions of Minecraft. This can be done by going to the world options and turning on the setting that says “Show Coordinates”. After this, you will be able to view the coordinates in your world. You won’t have to worry about activating this before you create your world since it can be turned on even in an existing world.

Best Equipment to Mine Diamonds in Minecraft

When mining for diamonds you will want to bring a gold pickaxe along with you. An Iron Pickaxe can also be used successfully but the Gold Pickaxe will be one of the fastest tools for mining Diamond blocks. Although if you have a Diamond or Netherite Pickaxe they will be more efficient than a gold pickaxe. However, you may not have any diamonds yet to craft either so the gold version is a nice substitute.

Enchantments can also be extremely useful on Pickaxes for mining. Especially enchantments such as Fortune III which gives you a chance of getting more diamonds from each Diamond ore block mine — a perfect complement to your mining day. Now you can get busy with collecting as many diamonds as you can find in the vast Minecraft world.
