Bedrock Debug Screen

Minecraft has always been a game of endless creativity and exploration, but for technical players and builders, information is just as critical as imagination.

One of the most sought-after features for technical players in the Bedrock Edition is the debug screen, a staple of the Java Edition accessible by pressing F3. This screen provides detailed data, such as coordinates, biome information, and performance stats. While Bedrock players have historically lacked this feature, I have implemented my own version of this debug screen that overlays the info directly on your HUD.

What Is the Debug Screen Addon?

Minecraft Bedrock lacks a debug screen (unless you have one of the developers’ copies, that is). If you have played the Java version, you might be familiar with how useful that screen is. This behavior pack brings some of that functionality into Bedrock.

Features of the Addon

1. Coordinates Display and Spawn Location
   The addon prominently displays your current X, Y, and Z coordinates on the HUD, making it easy to navigate and track your position without constantly opening the map or enabling cheats.
2. Chunk Information
   The addon also displays chunk-related data, such as chunk borders and chunk coordinates, which is invaluable for redstone builds, mob farms, and other technical projects.
3. Device-Friendly Design
   The addon is designed to work seamlessly across all devices that support Bedrock Edition, including mobile, consoles, and Windows 10, without affecting performance. Performance may not be optimal on non-landscape devices, though.

How to Install the Addon

1. Download the Addon
   Go to the latest release on GitHub and download the .mcpack file
2. Import the Addon
   Double-click on the downloaded file to open it. Minecraft should open and automatically import the addon.
3. Activate the Addon
   In the world settings, navigate to the “Behavior Packs” section and activate the debug screen addon. Activate the Beta APIs experiment for the addon to function properly.
4. Enjoy Real-Time Data
   Load into your world, type “!debug on” in the chat window, and the debug screen should now appear on your HUD, ready to provide you with all the information you need!
