Sea-level is approximately at Y coordinate 28 during stable water conditions. Positive X coordinates lead east, negative X coordinates lead west, positive Z coordinates lead north, and negative Z coordinates lead south.

X,Z coordinate 0,0 represents the center of the world.

I wonder if Valheim developers had changed the coordinate system at some point, because while the help command shows the correct description goto - teleport, the error message that Valheim displays when users enter an invalid coordinate shows Syntax /goto x y, which is decidedly incorrect.

Comma ' ,' characters are ignored and removed within the X, Y, and Z coordinates, and commas do not separate the coordinates! If you issue goto 100,200 300, it will be interpreted as goto 100200 300.

To teleport to location (1, 2, 3), you can only specify the X and Z coordinates via goto 1 3

The goto command expects exactly two separate coordinates, X and Z, separated by space.

The pos command displays location coordinates in the format (X, Y, Z).

Thus, Y is not permitted to be specified as a coordinate to the goto command, because Valheim just chooses whatever Y value represents land level, using sea level if no land is available. It is impossible to use terraforming to create a cave in Valheim, because land can only have a floor, and not a ceiling. For example, the dungeon and cave system in Valheim are implemented using 'hacks', not actual terrain modifications.

Because Valheim uses a heightmap-based terrain system, any particular X/Z coordinate on the map can only have a single height.

X is east/west measurement, Z is north/south measurement, and Y is height above the deep sea bed.

Knowing this, you can use the pos command to measure how many 2-meter beams, for example, it will take to build something, by calculating the difference in coordinates between two points.

X, Y, and Z coordinates are measured in meters.

I'll clarify a few things based on my observation: Again, no brackets in practice.Ī year later, some aspects of this are still confusing.

Using 'help' command in console lists, among others, goto and its syntax: goto - teleport. However, using either with goto will break the result. 'pos' prints using parenthesis and spaces. In summary, use the 1st and 3rd coordinates returned by 'pos' I was unsuccessful finding goto support for Y. Goto 190,248 returned me to the same spot. Given the X,Z functionality, I wondered if Y & Z were getting swapped between pos & goto, however: In my experiment I landed in the open ocean with the sea serpent. ~ attempting to use X, Y, Z with goto will not return desirable result, likely putting you somewhere else. The goto command uses *only* X,Z, and appears to figure out the Y thus placing you on solid ground. Adding some detail because common sense is causing some wrong assumptions.
