(Old MC) Coordinates
by Skellz64
(Old MC) Coordinates shows the player's position on the debug screen in early Minecraft Alpha and Infdev builds, where the feature was missing from the game.
What it does
The mod is a ModLoader jarmod that adds coordinates to the debug menus of Minecraft Alpha Infdev. Its display follows Notch's original implementation, which lists the x, y and z position on separate lines, and it rounds the values to 15 leading decimals with 3 digits. Notch did not add coordinates until a later alpha release, so many older worlds with infinite terrain generation needed this addition.
Two display options are included. The revised display, shown by default, improves the original layout, while the nostalgia display is left unmodified for players who want the first format. The N key toggles between them while the debug screen is open. Cardinal direction words and brighter text color are also part of the revised display, and the y-axis is floored to the feet level, so standing on a full block reads y-64.
Key features
Two display options
The revised display is shown by default, and the unmodified nostalgia display can be selected with the N key while the debug screen is open.
Cardinal directions and brighter text
The revised display names the cardinal directions and uses a brighter text color than the original debug layout.
Floored y-axis
The y-axis is floored to the feet level, so a player standing on a full block reads a y value one below the block's top, such as y-64.
Managed version range
The mod has files for 12 release versions from inf-20100618 to a1.1.2_01, and snapshot builds are published as well.

Use cases
Older infinite worlds
Players returning to early infinite-terrain worlds can read their position without a later version of the game.
Nostalgic play
Players who want the original Notch display keep it through the nostalgia option.
Who it’s for: Players of early Minecraft Alpha and Infdev versions who want position readouts on the debug screen. The mod runs only on the client, so server owners need nothing installed.
