+[=[The Minetest world is a large cube. And because of this, a position in the world can be easily expressed with cartesian coordinates. That is, for each position in the world, there are 3 values X, Y and Z.
+
+Like this: (5, 45, -12)
+
+This refers to the position where X=5, Y=45 and Z=-12. The 3 letters are called “axes”: Y is for the height. X and Z are for the horizontal position.
+
+The values for X, Y and Z work like this:
+
+• If you go up, Y increases
+• If you go down, Y decreases
+• If you follow the sun, X increases
+• If you go to the reverse direction, X decreases
+• Follow the sun, then go right: Z increases
+• Follow the sun, then go left: Z decreases
+• The side length of a full cube is 1
+
+You can view your current position in the debug screen (open with [F5]). This is considered cheating in some games.]=]
