What You See on the Debug Screen

The debug screen shows your coordinates, current biome, light level, chunk information, and performance details like FPS and memory use.

Builders use it to find exact positions, and explorers use it to track where they are.

Checking light levels helps keep areas safe from mobs. Seeing chunk borders makes farm and redstone builds more accurate.

Use for Fixing Problems

When parts of your world fail to load, press F3 + A to reload chunks.

If your game stutters, the pie chart with F3 + Shift + F3 helps find out what causes lag.

Advanced tooltips (F3 + H) show durability on tools and extra item data.

Useful for Builders

Chunk borders with F3 + G show where chunks start and end. This is key for slime farms or large redstone machines.

Copying block data with F3 + I helps move or save details of blocks and entities.

Last Thoughts

F3 commands look complex at first, but they give strong control. You can see hidden info, fix problems fast, and build with better accuracy.

Try using a few of them next time you play. You will learn more about your world and enjoy Minecraft even more.
