XYKey
by kotakotik22
XYKey lets a player share their coordinates in chat, copy them to the clipboard, or view them on a dedicated screen saved for later.
What it does
Players can post their current position into chat, optionally prefixed with their name, in the form of three numbers such as 105 64 -90. A position can also be copied straight to the system clipboard, so it can be pasted into a message or a note outside the game.
A separate screen displays the current coordinates and lets the player keep a view of them for later reference. The mod is a client-side utility for Fabric, built for 1.16.1 – 1.17, and it is open source under the MIT License, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available.
Only the client needs the mod, so it works on singleplayer worlds and on any server without installation there. Its latest file, 2.0.0, targets 1.17 and was released on 2021-06-23.

Use cases
Sharing a base location
A player can post coordinates in chat so teammates know where to meet or where a build sits.

The position screen lets a player note where they are before leaving for another area.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who share locations with friends or in multiplayer chat, and anyone who wants coordinates copied without typing them by hand.
