Description from the author on SpigotMC

F3View — the F3 screen your Bedrock players don't have

Bedrock players get no F3 debug screen. On a crossplay server that means no coordinates for a base, no chunk numbers for a farm, no light levels for mob-proofing — unless an admin flies over to help.
F3View gives every player a clean F3-style readout, in game, with one command.

Built for Paper servers — and proven in game on a live Java + Bedrock crossplay (Geyser) server.

What it shows

  • Live action-bar readout — position, chunk, facing, biome and world time, always one glance away
  • Full snapshot to chat — block and chunk coordinates, facing with yaw/pitch, biome, world time
  • The block you're standing on — with sky light AND block light levels (spawn-proofing, solved)
  • The block you're looking at — type, coordinates and light levels
  • Particle chunk borders — a toggleable outline of your current chunk, visible to nearby players too
  • Compass printout — the 8 directions with the coordinates 32 blocks away in each

Commands

  • /f3view — toggle the live readout (alias /f3)
  • /f3view once — print the full readout to chat once
  • /f3view border — toggle the particle chunk border
  • /f3view compass — print the 8-direction compass
  • /f3view reload — reload the config (admin)

How to install F3View

  1. Make sure your server runs Paper and Spigot on Minecraft 1.20 – 26.x.

  2. Download the .jar file from SpigotMC and put it in the plugins folder of your server.

  3. Restart the server. Avoid /reload, many plugins do not handle it well.

  4. Type /plugins in the console: F3View should be listed in green. Its config files are created in the plugins folder on the first start.
