Find My Xbox Location
Assuming you have already opened your Xbox per Chapter 2, 'Disassembling Your Xbox,' you should look for the video chip. It is located on the motherboard, directly below the video output port on the back of the Xbox (see Figure 3.8). This is another excellent verification of the revision, as Table 3.4 illustrates, and may be considered foolproof.

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to use a game command to find your current XYZ coordinates with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Now you can quickly and easily find your coordinates in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), Pocket Edition, Windows 10 and Education Edition with the /tp command.
Let's explore how to do this.
Supported Platforms
The command to find your coordinates is available in the following versions of Minecraft:

* The version that it was added or removed, if applicable.
NOTE: Pocket Edition (PE), Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows 10 Edition are now called Bedrock Edition. We will continue to show them individually for version history.

How to Enter the Command
1. Open the Chat Window
The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button at the top of the screen.
- For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
- For PS4, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
- For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
2. How to Find your Coordinates
You can easily find your current XYZ coordinates in Minecraft with the following command:
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Since we are using the /tp command to teleport ourselves to our current location, Minecraft will display our current coordinates in the lower left corner of the game window.
In this example, our current XYZ coordinates in the map are:
For simplicity, we are going to round our coordinates, even though the /tp command shows the coordinates with decimal places.
Congratulations, you just learned how to use the /tp command to find your coordinates in Minecraft!

Methods of Identification
There is no single method of identifying your Xbox revision with 100% accuracy, but by using three well-tested methods together, you will be able to determine the version of your Xbox with certainty. The methods are as follows. It is best to perform all of these tests because Microsoft doesn't print the revision number on the Xbox (that would make it too easy for modders!).
The goal of revision identification is ultimately to determine which type of mod chip you can use, so after you have determined the revision by a single test, it's a pretty safe bet that you have your revision. But just to be cautious, I recommend performing other checks of the revision to be certain.
Manufacturing Date
The manufacturing date of an Xbox is just a 'suggestion' for the revision. The manufacturing date is printed on the serial number label on the bottom of the Xbox. You can see this label through a hole in the retail box (used for scanning the serial number at the cash register), so you can try to identify the revision without even removing an Xbox from the box (although a used Xbox is probably lacking a retail box in the first place).
The serial number/bar code label on the bottom of the Xbox includes a 'MFG. DATE' value in the format YYYY-MM-DD, representing year, month, and day. Table 3.1 will help you to identify your Xbox revision using the manufacturing date (although assembly line and factory appear to be more relevant factors).

Hardware Serial Number
If you are browsing the used Xboxes at your local video game store in the hope that you can buy an older Xbox that will work with your solderless mod chip of choice, you will need to use the serial number version test. But what happens if the manufacturing label has been removed? This is a fairly common occurrence that might have something to do with Xbox owners not wanting to change their Xbox Live accounts (which makes one wonder why they sold the Xbox in the first place). Here is how you can decode the hardware serial number if it is available:
where
L is the number of the production line within the factory.
NNNNNN is the number of the Xbox produced during the workweek.
Y is the last digit of the production year.
WW is the number of the week of the production year.
FF is the code of the factory where the Xbox was manufactured, according to Table 3.2.
Table 3.2 Factory Codes
Factory | Location | Revision |
02 | Mexico | 1.0 or 1.1 |
03 | Hungary | 1.0 |
05 | China | 1.2 (or later) |
06 | Taiwan | 1.2 (or later) |
Because the factory code method is not very reliable (because there may be some codes missing from this list), let's try another method of identifying your Xbox to narrow things down a bit. See Table 3.3 for a serial number check that is accurate but not very specific. If your code is not shown, I would recommend using the closest code to yours, leaning toward the previous one if there is a value above and below your code.
Table 3.3 Serial Number Check
Serial Number | Revision |
LNNNNNN 20WFF | 1.0 |
LNNNNNN 21WFF | 1.0 |
LNNNNNN 23WFF | 1.0, 1.1 |
LNNNNNN 24WFF | 1.1 |
LNNNNNN 25WFF | 1.1 |
LNNNNNN 30WFF | 1.2 |
LNNNNNN 31WFF | 1.3 |
LNNNNNN 32WFF | 1.3 |
LNNNNNN 33WFF | 1.4, 1.5 |
LNNNNNN 42WFF | 1.6 |
Video Chip Verification
If you have used the preceding two checks to narrow down what you think your Xbox revision is, the next two steps will really give you a concrete answer to the question. Assuming you have already opened your Xbox per Chapter 2, 'Disassembling Your Xbox,' you should look for the video chip. It is located on the motherboard, directly below the video output port on the back of the Xbox (see Figure 3.8). This is another excellent verification of the revision, as Table 3.4 illustrates, and may be considered foolproof.
Table 3.4 Video Chip Identification
Video Chip | Revision |
Conexant | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 |
Focus | 1.4, 1.5 |
Xcalibur | 1.6 |

Xbox BIOS Version Number
You can use one final check to verify the Xbox revision that you own (or are considering buying): Look at the BIOS kernel version and dashboard version numbers. To view these numbers, boot the Xbox in dashboard mode (by powering up without a disc in the DVD-ROM drive). Go to Settings and then System Info. A disclaimer will scroll down and will eventually show you two version numbers: a K: value for the kernel and a D: value for the dashboard. You can perform an unscientific check of the revision using Table 3.5.
If you are at a video store, this may be your only way of double-checking the revision. Note that revision 1.0 of the Xbox did not provide these numbers, so if you can't find them, it is definitely a 1.0. Nevertheless, I will include the 1.0 kernel version in Table 3.5. Some kernel versions may not be shown in this list; if yours is not shown, you can base it on the nearest version to yours. Along with the other noninvasive tests, this should give you a clear idea about the revision for a particular Xbox.
Table 3.5 BIOS Kernel Versions
Xbox Revision | Kernel Version |
1.0 | 3944,4034,4036,4627 |
1.1 | 4817,4972 |
1.2–1.5 | 5101,5713 |
1.6 | 5838 |
