About a month ago, I noticed that my F3 button stopped working. I need to be able to press it so I can figure out what level I'm on and thus hunt for diamonds.

I tried Fn+F3 too, and it didn't work either. What can I do?

    As an alternative way to search for diamonds you can simply dig down to bedrock and then count up from there - diamonds are found on layers 1 - 16 so counting up from the bottom is easier than counting down from anywhere else.

It sounds like your F3 key may be broken on your keyboard. You can check by opening Internet Explorer or Chrome (browsers) and press F3, it should open the "search this page" box along the top. Same as if you pressed CTRL +F. I don't know any mac keyboard mappings.

Here is a post that describes how to remap your keys for either Windows or Mac.

You can press escape and go to options. Then go to controls and change F3 to another key that is working.

Another solution could be to install a minimap mod that displays your coordinates including your Y that you wanted.
