Is there an easy way to get the coordinates of a specific player using command blocks? I was trying to find a way to do this but I could not find any info about it.

  • It really kind of depends on what you want to do with these coordinates. That said, I think it might be possible to return PlayerX PlayerY and PlayerZ as a scoreboard. I'm not sure. If you want to do something with those coordinates, other commands will be your friend.

    If you just want specific players' coordinates displayed in chat screen, this command will do it without affecting gameplay : /tp <Player/Entity> ~ ~ ~

This is impossible for now, unless using special plugins (when you are running a Bukkit server or something like that). You can only get your own coordinates by using F3.

Sole_Wolf commented that you can use the Bukkit plugin MapCoOrds if you are running a server in the possible duplicate passage that I suggested.

You can also use a map to see other players, but other players can see you as well. Also, you can't get their exact coordinates.

If you are targeting a specific player in a command, simply type their name on the <Player> tag or do @p for nearest player, @r for random player or @a for all players.

  • You could also use Essentials' /whois [playername] which lists their prefix, nicknames (if any), locations, money etc.

  • @aytimothy really? I thought /whois no longer exists XD

  • I remembered using it on a 1.7.10 server on a 1.8 client. Either it's still there, or that server is running an older version of Essentials (1.6 release was the last time I saw the /whois command)
