In ordinary Minecraft Bedrock gameplay, enable Show Coordinates and use the X and Z values to find chunk edges: they occur at multiples of 16. This built-in method identifies borders precisely, but it does not draw lines on screen.
Find a chunk edge in ordinary Bedrock gameplay
- Open the settings for the world you want to play in and turn on Show Coordinates. Microsoft documents this world rule as displaying a UI element with your current coordinates; the exact menu path can vary by platform and UI version. Microsoft’s Bedrock command documentation describes the rule, and its Bedrock world-creator guide also directs creators to enable the setting.
- Check your X and Z coordinates. Ignore Y for this purpose: it measures height, while chunk borders are horizontal.
- Look for X or Z values divisible by 16. For example, grid lines occur at …, -32, -16, 0, 16, 32, …. A chunk corner is where both X and Z are multiples of 16. Walk along an axis until its coordinate reaches one of these values to find the corresponding edge.
For the chunk containing a block at coordinates X and Z, use (floor(X/16), floor(Z/16)). Flooring matters at negative positions: floor(-1/16) = -1, not 0. The grid rule and formula are described by the Minecraft Wiki.

Why you do not see border lines
Show Coordinates displays position, not a chunk-border overlay. In the documented ordinary-play method, you use the coordinates and the 16-block grid to identify the edges yourself. Microsoft describes chunk areas as 16×16 blocks in its Editor documentation, but that is their horizontal footprint—not a claim that chunks are only 16 blocks tall. Microsoft’s Editor settings page names a separate visualization option, “Show Chunk Boundries,” which draws lines between those areas.

| Option | Where it applies | What it does | Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show Coordinates and check multiples of 16 | Ordinary Bedrock gameplay | Provides the coordinates needed to locate edges and corners | Built in and exact when you use the correct block coordinates, but does not draw lines |
| Show Chunk Boundries | Bedrock Editor | Draws lines between 16×16 block areas | An Editor setting, not a regular gameplay toggle; Microsoft spells the setting “Boundries” on its page |
| Third-party resource pack | Depends on the pack and your Bedrock setup | May provide a visual overlay | Check version and UI-profile compatibility; support can vary |
Do not use the Java shortcut in Bedrock
F3+G is a Java Edition chunk-border shortcut, not the ordinary Bedrock method. Mojang’s Java snapshot notes discuss chunk-border rendering in Java debug options, while the Bedrock approach described here uses coordinates. Mojang’s Java snapshot notes are specific to Java Edition.
#1 Best Overall
Optional visual overlay from a resource pack
If you want lines on screen while playing rather than a coordinate-based check, a third-party pack may offer that. For example, the Debug Screen Pro listing advertises chunk borders, chunk coordinates, and separate Classic and Pocket layouts. Those are the publisher’s claims, not independent test results. Check the listing for compatibility with your Bedrock version and UI profile before installing; it is not a native Minecraft control.
